Organic C8 MCT Oils

What does MCT C8 oil do?

Due to its properties, C8 is one of the most highly regarded MCT oils, supporting the functioning of the body on many levels:

• It provides a fast source of energy - because it is metabolised directly by the liver, it bypasses traditional fat digestion processes. It is quickly converted into ketones, which are an effective source of energy for the brain and muscles.
• Supports weight loss - studies show that by increasing thermogenesis and satiety, regular use of MCT C8 oil contributes to effective weight loss[1].
• Supports cognitive function - C8 supplementation supports improved concentration, mental clarity and cognitive function. Its properties are used in the treatment of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease[2].
• Supports the immune and digestive systems - thanks to its antimicrobial and antifungal properties, it helps fight harmful bacteria, supporting gut health and intestinal microflora. MCT C8 has an anti-inflammatory effect, supporting the reduction of inflammation in the body.
• Improves physical performance - providing a fast and effective source of energy, MCT C8 oil increases endurance and physical performance, and helps the body recover faster after exercise.

What are the side effects of C8 MCT oil?

Although MCT oil C8 carries numerous health benefits, like any dietary supplement it can cause side effects. It is worth being aware that, due to its more potent effects compared to C10, it can cause adverse reactions from the gastrointestinal tract in the initial stages of supplementation.

These include: vomiting, nausea, abdominal pains, diarrhoea, digestive disorders.

Does C8 MCT oil put you in ketosis?

Unlike long-chain fatty acids, MCTs do not require a complex digestion process, making them able to rapidly raise blood ketone levels. Regular use of MCT C8 oil accelerates the production of ketones, thereby aiding the process of entering ketosis and maintaining this state [3].

Is C8 MCT oil better than coconut oil?

Aiming to maximise ketone production and the benefits of ketosis, MCT C8 oil is a better and more effective choice than traditional coconut oil. It provides a faster and more efficient source of energy, while supporting fat burning and improving overall wellbeing.

Coconut oil contains a mixture of different fatty acids, of which only about 15% are medium-chain fatty acid triglycerides (MCTs). MCT C8 oil, on the other hand, is an almost pure source of caprylic acid, which is the fastest fatty acid to be converted into ketones. As a result, compared to coconut oil, it is able to raise blood ketone levels more quickly and efficiently.
