Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders

There are several disorders of fat metabolism, including long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders (LC-FAOD).
Dietary fat is a rich source of energy. The majority of dietary fat in western diets is long-chain triglyceride (LCT). Individuals with an LC-FAOD cannot release the energy from LCT. Instead, LCT leads to the release of toxins. Replacing LCT with a different type of fat known as medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) provides an alternative form of energy and helps reduce the risk of toxin accumulation.
Vitaflo USA offers a range of products for use in the dietary management of LC-FAOD. If you have additional questions about our products, please contact us.
