What it is
This is a dietary supplement made from coconuts. It is a type of fat that the body can quickly convert into energy. This oil is specifically refined to contain a high concentration of C8, also known as caprylic acid. C8 is considered the most ketogenic medium-chain triglyceride. It is clear and odorless, making it easy to incorporate into daily routines. The product is organic, meaning it is produced without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
How people cook with it
People often add this oil to beverages or meals to boost energy and support a ketogenic lifestyle. Its neutral flavor makes it versatile.
- Added to coffee
- Blended into smoothies
- Drizzled over salads
- Mixed into shakes
To use, start with a small amount, such as one teaspoon, and gradually increase to one tablespoon per day as tolerated. It can be mixed into warm or cold beverages like coffee, tea, or smoothies. It is also suitable for drizzling over salads or incorporating into dressings. Avoid heating the oil to high temperatures, as this can alter its properties. It is best consumed as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike other MCT oils that contain a mix of different medium-chain triglycerides, this product is highly concentrated in C8 (caprylic acid). This specific fatty acid is believed to be more efficiently converted into ketones by the body, potentially offering a more direct energy source compared to oils with a broader spectrum of MCTs.
Who it is for
Individuals following a ketogenic diet or seeking a quick energy source often use this MCT oil.
