The MCTs can include from about 51 wt % to about 90 wt % of octanoic acid. The daily dose can be provided in at least two servings, for example, 2 or 3 servings. Each serving can provide about 15 g MCTs and can include octanoic acid and decanoic acid in a weight ratio of, for example, about 60:about 40. The individual can be 65 years or older and/or have mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
