                                According to research, C6 (caproic acid) is the shortest medium-chain triglyceride, consisting of only six carbon atoms. This fatty acid is a natural component of coconut and palm kernel oil but is routinely removed during the manufacturing of high-quality MCT supplements due to its undesirable sensory and digestive properties.
