WHAT ARE MCTs and C8 MCT?Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are fats with a chemical structure that allows the body to digest them easily. C-8 MCT is the specific MCT that is converted the most efficiently and rapidly into ketones in the body. Thus it provides more and quicker ketones than other MCTs. Typical increase of blood ketones via measurement is 0.5 mmol with 1 tablespoon of C-8 MCT within ~15 minutes. Note: Bulletproof Brain Octane oil is made from exactly the same C8 MCT. Both Upgraded Octane Oil and our Pure C8 MCT oil are made from the same Caprylic Acid Triglyceride MCT. FOR ATHLETES Athletes often sip carbohydrate-loaded drinks during exercise. MCTs may provide an alternative. Like other fats, they provide more energy per ounce than carbs; but unlike normal fats, this energy can be released rapidly helping to improve performance. FOR WEIGHTLOSS Studies suggest replacing calories with MCT, without exceeding daily caloric requirements, can result in a small but significant increase in the rate of fat loss over time.COFFEE: Make bulletproof coffee by mixing 1 tablespoon of MCT Oil and 1 teaspoon of grass feed butter for sustained energy without the caffeine crash. COMPARISON WITH OTHER MCT OILS: There are 2 types of MCT oils. C8 MCT oils and mixed MCT oils. C8 provides 3 times more ketones than C10, the next best MCT. Other MCTs do not provide ketones.Mixed MCT oils contain MCTs with little to no impact besides C8 content.C8 MCT oils include Mickey T Eight & Bulletproof Brain Octane or Upgraded Octane and LLS Primal Energy C8 MCT oil. Plain MCT oils include Upgraded XCT oil, Now MCT, Olimp MCT oil & Primal Energy MCT oil.

I'm guessing it is great stuff.
I use this while on my keto and intermittent fasting. I will warn you if you aren't use to eating oil or making butter coffee, use about 1/4 to 1/2 the recommended amount for the first few days as most of us aren't use to consuming large amounts of fat by itself and it can mess with your digestive system if you consume too much too soon, trust me on that one.

Improvement over C8 powder I was using
I was using Nutricost C8 powder (vanilla) prior to this and was happy with it, it added a delicious taste to shakes and coffee - but I discovered it contained an ingredient that impacted blood sugar so I tried this. BIG difference! It is truly tasteless and I miss the creamy vanilla of the Nutricost, but I have to use much less of this, it really reduces my appetite, and I've lost 3 lbs this week. I've been stalled at 174 for abt a month, but was happy to not be gaining. When I started using this my weight went down to 171 (just really not hungry) within a week. Yes! Give it a try! I love the science behind it - actually go read the guy's website - seems legit.

Great Science Backed, High Purity C8 Oil - 5 Stars
This is the best C8 MCT oil I could find.I did a bunch of research and found that this is the best oil out of Europe, and it just became available in the USA (that’s why it doesn’t have that many reviews yet).But if you go amazon UK, it has nearly 2000 reviews with most of them 5 stars.Also if you go their website they have a ton of research-based content on their website, which shows they know what they are talking about.What really sold me though is their COAs (certificate of Analysis) for their C8 Oil.I can’t find ANY OTHER company that will disclose this info… Which makes me think either they don’t test their oil for purity or they are hiding something. Especially when some of them claim 100% purity, which is impossible btw.Keto Source’s C8 Oil is 99.8%, which is the best verified purity I was able to find.I use it in smoothies, my coffee, salad dressing or I’ll just eat some plain when I need to boost my fat intake for the day.It has a very clean, mild and smooth taste -- Almost like nothing at all. So it won’t mess up any of your recipes or the taste of any food you add it to.Just watch out, it has a low smoke point. So you probably don’t want to cook with it, unless it is very low heat. I just add it afterwards for these dishes.Even my dog loves it. Which is great since she lost one of her legs, we’ve been using a keto diet to reduce her inflammation.When I use this oil in my morning bulletproof coffee, I feel extra focused and mentally clear… Which I don’t get with regular MCT or any of the other C8 oils I’ve tried.I'll also see a spike in my blood ketones (from Keto Mojo meter) after using it. It is the real deal.

Good price for a C8 Product
So far so good...Almost done with my first bottle and I am happy. I like that you get more MCT oil then other brands. If you look at other C8 products they can get pricey and they give you less product. I was already using MCT oil in my morning coffee so I cannot say that I noticed anything when I switched to this brand. Just as an FYI the bottle is plastic not glass. I could be wrong but I think I saw a review or somewhere that said the bottle was glass. Mine was not. I will buy again.

Ok
Don’t know what it was, but this brand is not as potent as others that I tried. Felt no difference. The taste was good and it blended well.

The energy and cleanliness of the oils is what’s most important to me!
This is one of the best MCT OILS I’ve ever used! It really gets the job done.

Leaky bottle mouth, but the oil is good
I have tried many MCT oil and I like this one, too.Arrived in perfect condition.Appreciate the brown light-shielding glass bottle to help maintain the oil quality.However, no matter how I tried it, the oil drips a bit when I pour, and the glass bottle gets oily.Hope it gets improved in this regard soon.
