5. Participants must have failed (no therapeutic response) 1-4 migraine prophylactic treatments.
6. The participant is able to tolerate a 12.5g dose of AC-SD-03 (containing 5g of tricaprilin) as per sentinel dose challenge at the Baseline Visit.
7. From Visit 2 to Visit 3 (baseline measurement period), the participant has sufficient compliance (at least 80%) with daily eDiary headache entries.

Exclusion Criteria

1. In the opinion of the Investigator, has presence or history of an advanced, severe, progressive, or unstable disease of any type that could interfere with efficacy and safety assessments, or put the participant at risk.
2. Use of barbiturates (and/or butalbital-containing analgesics) or opioids (and/or opioid-containing analgesics) for migraine acute treatment ≥ 4 days per month on average and/or in the last month prior to Screening Visit.
3. Use in the last 3 months prior to Screening Visit of CGRP agents, Botox injections, TENS, cranial nerve blocks, trigger-point injections, acupuncture, CBD-containing products, infusion therapy.
4. Current use, or use within 3 months of Visit 2 (baseline), of Axona® or other MCT-containing products (such as coconut oil). Use of MCT-containing products is not allowed at any time during trial participation.
5. Current use, or use within 3 months prior to Screening, of a ketogenic diet, low-carb diet, intermittent fasting (including the 5:2 diet). Ketogenic diets, low-carb diet, intermittent fasting (including the 5:2 diet) are not allowed during the study.
