Sports Research Organic MCT Oil (Keto C8)
What it is
This is a pure C8 MCT oil, derived from organic coconut oil. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, which are fats that are metabolized differently than longer-chain fats. C8, or caprylic acid, is the most ketogenic MCT. It is a clear, odorless, and tasteless liquid that is easily incorporated into various foods and beverages. This product is designed to be a convenient way to add this specific type of fat to your diet.
How people cook with it
It is commonly used to enhance the fat content of meals and drinks. Many people add it to their morning routines.
- Added to coffee or tea
- Blended into smoothies
- Drizzled over salads
- Used in homemade salad dressings
This MCT oil can be easily added to your daily diet. A common practice is to stir it into your morning coffee or tea, often referred to as 'bulletproof coffee.' It can also be blended into smoothies for an added source of fat. For savory dishes, it works well as a base for salad dressings or can be lightly drizzled over salads and cooked vegetables. Start with a small amount and gradually increase as desired. It is important to note that consuming large amounts initially may cause digestive discomfort for some individuals.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike other MCT oils that may contain a mix of C8, C10, and C12, this product focuses solely on C8. This specific chain length is believed to be the most efficiently converted into ketones by the body, offering a more direct energy source compared to oils with a broader spectrum of MCTs.
