1. A method of treating an individual having a brain energy deficiency condition or disease, the method comprising administering a composition comprising medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) to the individual, wherein the MCTs comprise:
a MCT comprising three fatty acid moieties each with 8 carbon atoms (MCT-C8); and
a MCT comprising three fatty acid moieties each with 10 carbon atoms (MCT-C10);
wherein the ratio of the MCT-C8 to the MCT-C10 is from 10:90 to 90:10 (mol/mol), wherein at least 95 mol % of the MCTs in the composition are MCT-C8 and MCT-C10, and
wherein the composition provides increased ketones and/or fatty acids as compared to a composition comprising MCTs comprising three fatty acids moieties each with a mix of C8 and C10 moieties attached and having the same C8/C10 ratio and molar amounts.
