Understanding NuliGo® Lipids: Structured MLCTs & Their Unique Absorption Mechanism

Structured lipids are a unique type of fat that scientists have designed to have specific properties. They’re made up of smaller building blocks called fatty acids. Some structured lipids, like those found in human milk, are naturally good for us. Scientists can also create structured lipids by combining different types of fatty acids to improve their physical and functional properties. At Bunge, we use a natural, gentle method called enzymatic interesterification to create our structured lipids. This method is better for the environment and produces a purer product.

What Are MCTs, LCTs, and MLCTs?

MCTs, LCTs, and MLCTs are different types of triglycerides (fats found in food):

The MLCTs in NuliGo® lipids provide a unique source of energy for athletes — a fat with the best qualities of MCTs and LCTs that improve muscle health and endurance through:
Energy delivered directly to the muscles through the bloodstream
A fast energy source that fuels performance
Long-term availability of energy readily accessible to muscles

NuliGo® Nutritional Lipids
NuliGo® nutritional lipids are a groundbreaking molecule formulated with structured medium and long-chain triglycerides (MLCTs). They offer a distinct advantage over traditional fats and energy sources by providing optimal delivery of essential energy substrates directly to the muscles.

How NuliGo® Lipids Travel Through the Body

Ingestion

Athletes can consume NuliGo® lipids through specially formulated science-based nutrition supplements like gels or pre/post-workout products.

Digestion

Like all fats, NuliGo® lipids will be easier on the stomach than large loads of carbohydrates; however, unlike other fats, NuliGo® will serve as an alternative source of energy readily available in the muscles by itself or together with carbohydrates.

Absorption + Distribution

NuliGo® lipids bypass the liver by entering the lymphatic system, a network of vessels that transport dietary fats directly into the bloodstream. This unique pathway delivers NuliGo® to peripheral tissues like muscles that require a constant energy supply.

Utilization

Upon reaching the muscle cells, the readily available MCFAs provide a quick burst of energy, ideal for fueling high-intensity activities. Meanwhile, the LCFAs offer a sustained energy source, supporting prolonged exercise and endurance.

NuliGo® Lipids Vs. Traditional Energy Sources

Traditional energy sources, such as simple carbohydrates and some dietary fats, often have limitations:

By bypassing the liver and entering the lymphatic system, NuliGo® lipids deliver energy substrates directly to your muscles for immediate use.
\
NuliGo® lipids provide a consistent energy flow, preventing energy crashes and supporting prolonged exercise.
\
NuliGo® lipids help spare amino acids, the building blocks of protein, allowing the body to allocate them toward muscle growth and repair.
