Fatty acid profiles of virgin coconut oil. | Download Table

Coconut oil is made up of only 13% C8 and about 50% C12 (Lauric Acid) which is not an MCT.  It is a long chain fatty acid (LCT). Comparing MCTS to LCTS. MCTs are more effective for:

  • Metabolism: MCTs metabolise faster, enhancing protein metabolism and energy expenditure​​​​.
  • Weight Loss: MCTs lead to greater weight loss and reduced body fat compared to LCTs​​.
  • Energy Utilisation: MCTs increase thermogenesis more than LCTs.
  • Blood Lipids: MCTs improve serum lipid profiles without adversely affecting lipid levels​​​​.
  • Protein Sparing: MCTs in nutrition improve nitrogen retention and protein sparing​​​​.
  • Glucose Metabolism: MCTs positively affect insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism​​.
  • Fat Oxidation: MCT ingestion enhances postprandial (post meal) fat degradation and increases fat oxidation​​.
  • Satiety: MCTs can provide a feeling of fullness, reducing appetite and cravings.

Is this the same as Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil?  The technical specification is the same. This is also a pure caprylic acid (C8) MCT Oi.  It is made by Primal Collective, an Australian company. The price difference reflects this, since Bulletproof, A USA import, attracts additional costs.

Primal C8 MCT OIL

Love this product. I use it in my morning bulletproof coffee and again in the evening with my bedtime caffeine free latte. I notice a huge difference with my vestibular migraines when I miss taking it.

Amazing!

This product is amazing. A psychiatrist put me on to it to help with ADHD symptoms. It helps brain fog and allows me to be more focussed. I add it to my first morning coffee, also adding cream with 65% fat, and this makes it a bulletproof coffee which takes me to lunch time and beyond. I love this product. I'll never stop using it. Primal make great products
