3 Health Benefits of Energizing Keto Tea

#1: Instant Usable Energy

MCTs (medium chain triglycerides) are absorbed by your body differently than other forms of fatty acids. Instead of taking a journey through your lymph, as most fats have to after absorption, MCTs can go directly to your liver.

In your liver, MCTs can be broken down and used for fuel. This means that the energy from MCTs is almost immediately available to you[*][*].

MCTs are often converted to ketones in your liver, which also enhances your state of ketosis[*].

#2: Great Source Of CLA

Choosing grass-fed butter over standard butter is essential if you want to maximize the health benefits of this energizing herbal tea.

Grass-fed butter is 500% higher than traditional butter in a compound called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)[*].

Research shows that CLA has many health benefits including; reducing body fat, protecting against cardiovascular disease and cancer, improving bone mass, and enhancing immune and inflammatory responses in your body[*].

#3: Curbs Cravings

Whether your goal is weight loss, or you just want to kick your sugar habit, cravings can be a huge obstacle.

Research shows that consuming MCTs can lead to reduced sugar cravings, and help balance your blood sugar[*].

In one study, researchers divided a group of people into three cohorts; a low MCT group, medium MCT group, and high MCT group, with protein and carbs remaining static for all three groups.

The group with the highest intake of MCTs had the lowest energy intake after the study. Researchers concluded that increasing MCTs in place of other fats provided a more satiating effect, leading to less subsequent food consumption[*].

Energizing Keto Tea

If you’re a coffee drinker following a low-carb diet, your trips to Starbucks might get a little boring. It can be tough to find enticing coffee drinks with low carb-counts at most places — so sometimes you have to think outside the box a bit.

There’s only so much Bulletproof coffee you can drink, and this non-coffee recipe is as versatile as it is delicious.

While you have an almost endless array of herbal teas to choose from, you can also kick it up a notch with some caffeine from green tea, chai tea, or black tea.
