Yes! No adverse effects were found in people taking 30 grams of MCTs a day (much higher than typically consumed) for thirty days. Additionally, 1 gram of MCT per kilogram of body weight has been established as safe. However, MCTs can have gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea and diarrhea, so we highly recommend starting slow and building your way up to see how much you can tolerate.
