In coconut oil, their is a particular type of fat known as medium-chain triglycerides. The good part is that they are super bad ass for your health which is why I put MCT oil in all kinds of stuff. The bad news is that your body is not used to them, and they can cause diarrhea for the coconewbie. I put two tbsps of MCT in my coffee (equivalent of 12 TBSPS coconut oil) and I have no digestive issues with it. It's all about adjusting to the special fat.

u/Demonos · 4 pointsr/ketorecipes

The answer is no. I've bought this in the past until I learned that at least 1/3 of it is C12 (Lauric Acid) which is more of an LCT and not an MCT. It's cheaper to produce though so it acts like a filler. You want to look for another brand that is primarily C8 (Caprylic Acid) and C10 (Capric Acid) which are true MCTs.

Personally I use the brand NOW, which only contains C8 and C10, but there are other brands as well. This just seems to be the cheapest option off Amazon.

Google it. It's the first link. Coconut oil is one example of a product that contains them.

Edit:
another example

u/SpindlySpiders · 2 pointsr/ketogains

Best deal I've found is on Amazon, and this doesn't have any strong flavors. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0019LRY8A/

I mix it with shakes or smoothies and don't have any stomach problems from it. One time I thought I'd skip the shake and just swallow it directly. Big mistake. I was in the bathroom almost all day. I've never tried capsules before, but I recommend spreading it out over a whole day or at least a few hours and not taking it all in one go.

MCT Oil

Others may like different brands, I use this one.

u/kushdup · 2 pointsr/treedibles

You can use pure coconut oil (which naturally contains mostly MCT oil), pure MCT oil from a health food or vitamin store, or a mixture of both if you'd like. In terms of potency and extraction effectiveness, pure MCT will work best.

It's generally recommended to decarb first to ensure that your final product is evenly decarbed and to allow using the oil in lower temperature recipes, which is preferred due to the volatility of many cannabinoids. I've also read that decarbed THC is more soluble, making it easier to extract from the plant matter which would lead to even better yields.

Stove top is ok if you can accurately measure the temperature of your oil. The oven is recommended because it can accurately hold an even temperature specifically set by the user (rather than guessing "somewhere around medium-lowish"). I believe it's only sealed to avoid from foreign material falling into the oil, since there is a fan running in standard convection ovens. If you must use a stove top I would recommend using a double boiler to buffer & diffuse heat.

MCT Oil on Amazon is considerably cheaper than purchasing locally if you don't mind the shipping time. Good luck!

u/Oddlove · 2 pointsr/Portland

For what it's worth, I didn't like the NOW Foods MCT Oil that Super Supplements carries as much as I liked the Upgraded stuff that Caveman carries.

u/anbeav · 2 pointsr/ketogains

So you've always felt tired, it sounds like perhaps something you should discuss with a doctor as it doesn't seem keto-related.

MCT oil is medium chain triglyceride which is directly converted to ketones for immediate energy (http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-100-32-Fluid-Ounces/dp/B0019LRY8A) Many mix it in coffee, but you can add it to tea.

I also do IF and train fasted, the original leangains protocol is based on fasted-training, but if that's not working for you perhaps consider a different approach.

u/Baeocystin · 2 pointsr/keto

There's no need for dairy anything, if you don't want it. I eat a little cream/butter/etc because I enjoy the flavor, but most of my fat calories actually come from medium-chain triglycerides.

Medium-chain triglycerides do not need bile salts for digestion; rather, they are absorbed directly via the portal system and converted to ketones in the liver.

This is the brand I get, as it's specifically only Caprylic and Capric acid.

-------------------------

It works great as a general-purpose oil. You can cook with it, use it as a salad dressing, whatever you like. It has no real taste of its own, so it will just carry the flavors of what you're cooking rather than influence them on its own.

u/I_talk_about_stuff · 2 pointsr/keto

Pretty much everything in the supplement world is a scam, at least as far as over marketing products with pretty labels and lots of "science" to make their product superior to the next guys. Most people in the bodybuilding world already know this but it is unfortunate that there are people who want to take advantage of dieters now as well.

Always look at the lesser marketed products for comparison.

Here is the Now brand for 15 bucks vs 30 for bulletproof brand. The only difference is that you did not just read a 3 page ad for the bulletproof product that would have jerked off your ego just enough to not care that you are paying a lot more.

http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-100%25-32-Fluid-Ounces/dp/B0019LRY8A/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397232291&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=pvl++mct

This is not against bulletproof. This is just supplements in general so that I am clear that I am not just hating on one brand.

Also that is just a quick search. If you search for an online vitamin store in your area you may find one even cheaper. The now and pvl brands are both good and come without price inflation.

u/tennis_ · 1 pointr/ketogains

I haven't used coconut oil because I buy this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0019LRY8A/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1421085372&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40 . I would think coconut oil would work as well since that's what this comes from.

u/MackLuster77 · 1 pointr/keto

I get the Now Sports MCT Oil on Amazon.

$21 with shipping

u/renerdrat · 1 pointr/Alzheimers

no but there's a huge article about coconut oil and alzheimers on the internet, i'm sure there's plenty more now. the MCT oils in coconut oil fuel the brain very well.

You can actually buy pure MCT oil on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-100%25-32-Fluid-Ounces/dp/B0019LRY8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426579004&sr=8-1&keywords=mct+oil

If you want to even get something better look into "bulletproof" brand... they actually have a plethora of health products, anyway they have something called 'octane oil' it's basically 18x Stronger Than Coconut Oil. https://www.upgradedself.com/products/bulletproof-upgraded-brain-octane-oil

Anyway just thoguht I'd show you some alternatives to just coconut oil.

u/thatfatdood · 1 pointr/treedibles

I JUST GOT A WONDERFUL IDEA! Okay, so coconut oil works so well mainly because it has so many medium chain tryglycerides, but I believe it is only 60%. You can buy MCT oil on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-100%25-32-Fluid-Ounces/dp/B0019LRY8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1367695371&sr=8-1&keywords=mct+oil

If you put this MCT oil (which is a liquid and is perfect for extracting THC) in a bottle, and add the ground ganja and leave it for cold extraction for maybe three days, it should work extremely well! I just don't know if you can cook with this MCT oil. If it does work, it would be the absolute most effective oil to make edibles with!

u/Pipes32 · 1 pointr/keto

It is definitely 100% MCT oil! Here's the stuff I use:

u/AndrewCarnage · 1 pointr/keto

Well, I would say you should add some things that aren't particularly high protein, just mostly fat. With your current ratio it seems like you're probably getting plenty of protein.

So here's some foods that are mostly fat that I enjoy. Coffee with heavy cream. Macadamia nuts. Avocados. Cream cheese (yep, just straight up cream cheese). Olives. You get the idea.

I also supplement some oils. I drink a tbsp of Carlson fish oil every day to ensure my Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio is good. I also drink 2 tbsp of MCT oil every day before my bike ride because Medium chain triglycerides are highly ketogenic.

At any rate I get 70+% of my daily calories from fat, more if I do a lot of cardio so it's certainly possible to eat a lot more fat. I don't eat a lot of red meat, pork, or just meat in general either but in my case it's because they're a bit too high in protein (relative to fat) for my purposes.

u/zacharyvoase · 1 pointr/keto

I highly recommend adding MCT Oil, it's very ketogenic and pretty much taste-free. I go for this stuff: http://www.amazon.com/NOW-Foods-100%25-32-Fluid-Ounces/dp/B0019LRY8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1345347937&sr=8-1&keywords=MCT

For protein powder itself, I like Optimum Nutrition’s Platinum Hydrowhey—it’s low in carbs and tastes pretty good. http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/Platinum-Hydrowhey-p-271.html

u/yuri28 · 1 pointr/keto

I got mine from Whole Foods. most people buy them from amazon

u/logfromrenandstimpy · 1 pointr/JoeRogan

Recently bought this one at walmart just because of convenience. I have tried Onnit and the emmulsified one is better in coffee and stuff because it adds flavor. I would suggest this one just because it is the best bang for your buck. Keep it low quantity to start with. You will have crazy full on run to the bathroom right now liquid shits if you take too much. I use a medicine cup to measure out 10ml and toss it in my shake and then do the same with my salad at lunch with my dressing.

u/beenonymous · 1 pointr/steroids

Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT)

You should be able to substitute it for GSO or CSO. It's a very light oil, it should be easy to inject. MCT is absorbed very quickly in the gut, no idea how quickly it's absorbed with IM injection.

u/redundantexplanation · 1 pointr/AdviceAnimals

Similar recipe. I don't use the stupid overpriced coffee and oil from that guy's web site, I just use unsalted butter, Folgers standard brew(usually) and this MCT oil.

u/TwerkDat · 1 pointr/keto

I always get this stuff but I would like to try the fuel stuff pre workout
