To channel owner: I know that you wanted people to visit your website. But you were not clear about your intention for people to visit your website to learn more about your lab tests. I only know about that because I saw your reply to one of the other people who watch your videos and complain about the unclear results. You need to add a summary of the results/ final results on the YouTube video then ask people to see the details on your website.

At least 16 years ago I started with -'KRILL OIL' -my CHOLESTEROL was over 6, in 1 bottle, 90 pills, Cholesterol was down a WHOLE point down to 5.0
Have added Coconut oil, and Baby Coconut Water, with pulp. John in CANADA

Thanks for this topic, Dr. Cooperman. In a blood test, one of the cholesterol profile is triglycerides. According to the lab report the triglycerides will be unhealthy if it exceed a certain number. The question is: will MCT oil raise the triglycerides number in a blood test? I am pre-diabetes and have early sign of memory loss. Therefore, I am beginning to use it to control the conditions.

I bought mct oil pills at wal mart 90 cap one a day. I took one and feel great

You don’t think that there could also be a difference in price based on the process VCO is produced using cold press and centrifuge for instance ? Refined coconut oil with expeller for instance is designed for mass production but introduces heat which kills off a lot of VCO’s good properties. Cold pressed centrifuged VCO requires a lot longer and more expensive process than refined.

[davidcoomber]

The big difference in the two is price, coconut oil is cheap and doesn’t come with the marketing and fancy bottles in the health food stores

[chuckkady]

Here's what I understand: expensive MCT Oil is made from Coconut oil. It works faster for a lot more $$$.

[shamhosein]

Doesn't coconut and mct oil helps with going into ketosis and uses fat for fuel and cholesterol also transports fats. That may be the reason which in that case isn't a bad thing

[nejolo]

Would MCT oil derived from caprylic acid provide the same benefits in fighting bacterial and fungal infections. Caprylic acid is sold in pill form but I found this in my search for caprylic brands. There is no indication anywhere about this being the case. Yet the active ingredient is caprylic acid. I appreciate any feedback that would answer this question. Thanks.

Most healthy people consuming MCT don't know it's a saturated fat. Excess MCT clearly raises LDL. Since MCT impact liver pretty quickly your best bet is to consume lot less than recommended and do your workout, adjust accordingly based on your energy levels. I recommend MCT 3 times a week, the days you work out for normal weight people. If you are doing MCT for weight loss you can ignore this message

[michellepoliski]

Are they bio-available after processing? What kind of chemicals are used to process? Did they show to have any benefits?

[debrasalt]

what about Coconut Manna-aka Coconut Butter. I am getting confused as to wether or not I'm hurting or helping myself

[vanjosh]

Thank you for your time in making this informative video regarding the different nutritional information of these types of Coconut Oil products. I was trying to compare if the MCT oil from that type of oil product is better than Olive oil, but I've realized that Olive oil is much better, healthier, and cheaper than those MCT oils.

LDL is an antioxidant, the liver makes it to deal with inflammation for a good reason.

[bluegreyfogg]

Thank you. Precisely the info I was looking for.

What is the Best supplement to help All other supplements have High Absorption?
Coconut Oil? MCT? or Bioperine (Black Pepper)? Thanks

[WWF]

Hi DR.
Which one mct brand is the real one can be true support health actually ?

[SannetteSloane]

Hi Dr, thank you! Do you think there is a difference in oilyness visible on the skin in fractioned coconut oil versus MCT oil. I am making a cosmetic product and tested it with MCT oil, however when I used fractioned coconut oil, it seemed more oily and had to be rubbed more to be absorbed in the skin. I have been struggling to get exact information regarding this online. Wil greatly appreciate it if you have an opinion.

[lubasulpovar]

Thanks a lot Dr Copperman for your great videos. I am your loyal viewer since you are on internet. But, I could read your Bulletin how first I found your Consumer Lab.

Is Hexane used to extract MCT . Is fractional distillation making healthier MCT. How to find out if traces of Hexane are not present in MCT ??
