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. Review: 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. Review: 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 desertcart 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.

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.

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.

Ate through styrofoam cup
It is odorless and tasteless. I put it in my styrofoam coffee cup and it ate a hole in the bottom, I did it again thinking it was a defective cup. It did it to the next one too. I am very disappointed.

Muy buena calidad
Es muy efectivo y puro (C8) Presentación en botella de cristal, perfectamente empacada y protegida, llega con una hoja de indicaciones para empezar a tomarlo progresivamente (en inglés) El efecto es rápido, aumenta la energía y quita el apetito por unas horas, muy útil para entrenar en ayunas No tiene sabor ni olor, es fácil de mezclar con café u otro líquido, o tomar directamente La única pega es que no trae dosificador y se vierte fácilmente, deberían mejorar el diseño del tapón Se arregla poniéndolo en otra botella (yo usé una que tenía de otro MCT, con dosificador y sin derrames) Pero para el precio, se espera una mejor facilidad de uso Recomendadísimo para entrenamiento, keto y ayuno, y también para rendimiento cognitivo

Best one I've tried
Best MCT oil I've tried so now I only get this one. I use it to supplement my keto diet - stir a tsp into my morning coffee to give me a kick to start the day and that's all I need as I've been keto for many years now. If I ever get out of ketosis (like a holiday or hospital stay where I can't eat keto for a week or two) I use this 3x a day to boost ketones while I get back on track and I don't get many of the 'keto flu' symptoms like you would if you had to start keto again from scratch without this. I also use green tea x a day when I need a ketone boost and that helps too. Staying hydrated is also important. But yeah, 100% love this - great size, lasts ages, great quality, zero taste or smell, if you're starting out you might get a few stomach cramps the first few days but that will likely pass away quickly, I had no side effects at all tbh, brilliant value for money!

L’huile turbo pour booster ta journée ! café gras de qualité !
J'ai essayé le régime ceto c'est un peu trop sur le longterme de rester en cétose. Cependant je suis un gras fan du café gras du matin et c'est parfait avec cette huile !! 🟢 Pure C8, donc ultra efficace pour un max de cétones en un rien de temps. 🟢 Bouteille en verre : chic et plus écolo que le plastique. 🟢 Format pratique pour les fans de café keto ou ceux qui veulent un coup de fouet rapide. 🟢 Facile à digérer, pas de surprise au niveau de l’estomac (si on en abuse pas !). 🟢 Idéale pour maintenir l’énergie sans passer par la case sucre. 🔴 Un peu cher comparé aux autres huiles MCT, mais la qualité est là. 🔴 Attention à ne pas en abuser dès le début : effet laxatif si ton corps n’est pas habitué ! 🔴 Pas de doseur fourni, il faut doser à l’œil. Au final, si tu cherches un boost d’énergie sans les montagnes russes de la caféine ou du sucre, cette huile MCT Pure C8 fait le job à merveille. À tester dans le café ou le smoothie pour voir la différence !
