Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Lipids are a macronutrient class that includes fats, oils, and related compounds. They are a major energy source for the human body, providing approximately 9 kcal/g, which is more than double the energy provided by carbohydrates or proteins. The scientific justification for using lipids to support or treat energy deficiency stems from their essential metabolic role: when carbohydrate stores are depleted, the body utilizes lipids from dietary intake or adipose tissue to meet its energy demands. There is robust scientific evidence from basic physiology and nutrition studies demonstrating that adequate lipid intake is necessary to maintain energy balance, especially in situations of increased energy expenditure, malnutrition, or certain metabolic disorders. Clinical practice guidelines for treating undernutrition or cachexia often include recommendations for increased caloric intake through fats/lipids. However, "lipids (unspecified)" as a supplement is not a targeted treatment for "energy (lack of)" unless there is a documented deficiency or increased need. While the foundational role of lipids in energy metabolism is well-established, evidence supporting supplementation beyond normal dietary intake for otherwise healthy individuals with fatigue is limited. Therefore, the evidence rating is moderate (3/5): strong for basic energy support in deficiency or increased need, but less so for supplementation in the absence of such conditions.
