Effects of coconut oil on Alzheimer disease
2021 May International Journal of ADVANCED AND APPLIED SCIENCES Al-Matrafi TA,
The study suggests that coconut oil, particularly its MCTs, may be a natural and cost-effective treatment for AD by enhancing mitochondrial function, oxidation-reduction, and preventing amyloid-beta peptide aggregation. It also highlights potential benefits for other conditions like obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, chronic venous disease, and type II diabetes.

Potential of coconut oil and medium chain triglycerides in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
2020 Mar Mechanisms of Ageing and Development Chatterjee P, Fernando M, Fernando B, Dias CB, Shah T, Silva R, et al.
The review discusses how the metabolism of CO and MCFA might compensate for glucose hypometabolism observed in the AD brain. It highlights the neuroprotective properties of CO, including its antioxidant effects attributed to polyphenolic content. The evidence regarding the impact of CO on cognition, amyloid-β pathogenicity, inflammation, and oxidative stress in AD is presented. Additionally, the review addresses the influence of CO/MCFA on other chronic disorders that are risk factors for AD and identifies gaps in the existing literature on the potential use of CO/MCFA as a treatment for AD.
