Here is a summary of the key points:

- MCT oil stands for medium-chain triglyceride oil. It contains fatty acids from coconut and palm kernel oils that have medium chain lengths of 6-12 carbon atoms.

- The best MCT for ketogenic effects is caprylic acid (C8), followed by capric acid (C10). Caprylic acid has the strongest ketogenic effect. Coconut oil contains mostly lauric acid (C12) which does not have ketogenic effects.

- When consumed, MCTs are absorbed directly into the liver and converted into ketone bodies. This is different than other fats which enter the lymphatic system first.

- Ketones produced from MCTs signal mitochondria to produce more of themselves (mitogenesis) and uncouple, wasting energy as heat. This protects and repairs mitochondria.

- MCTs can induce ketosis even when carbohydrates are consumed, making them useful for various diets or conditions requiring ketones like epilepsy.

- Start with 1 teaspoon of MCT oil and increase slowly, as women can be more sensitive to side effects like nausea. Powders may be better tolerated.

- MCT oil benefits brain health and can be useful for those with the APOE4 Alzheimer's gene. It is preferred over coconut oil for these individuals.

- When possible, mix MCT oil with healthy fats like olive oil for additional benefits from polyphenols. Start slowly to avoid intolerance.

Not only the people in Papua New Guinea, but also my great grand mother, her 3 daughters and 2 sons lived into their 90's up to 100 years old. They were high consumers of coconut oil and other coconut products. And they were among the hardest (physical) workers you will ever know.
In recent years I have been consuming coconut oil regularly. So far, despite a couple lousy doctors I am up to 82+ with older sisters and brother. Coconut is good stuff.

I put a squirt of MCT oil in my morning coffee, it sounded weird before I first tried it but I immediately found out that no negative taste or texture issue at all.

I have been sick for years. Been to many doctors, some even told me to go home and google how to treat my illnesses. Thank God for you Dr because I have been living my best life now and feeling better now at 52 then I felt in my early thirties. I thought I was going to be disabled by the time I reached 40.

I use a tablespoon of MCT pure C8 for breakfast in a chocho protein drink with unsweetened coconut milk. In it I include a teaspoon of turmeric with some black pepper, ground ginger, ground clove, and cinnamon. It is very filling and energizing. I would have it with some walnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, three Brazilian nuts, and an avocado. Very simple breakfast that helps me get going without being weighed down.

I pour my freshly made coffee into blender, add a pinch of sea salt, 9 drops of pure stevia, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of MCT oil. Blend on low for a minute. It's better than a latte! I either eat fresh coconut meat or fresh durian with my coffee because I'm in the Philippines.

Best explanation I've heard and I've done a ton of research. My wife and I are up to a tablespoon per day and we started out with a teaspoon per day for about a week. No side effects. This was a very impressive video. I subbed half way through. Thank you Doctor.

MCT oil (c8) has returned my life to me. So much energy. I was always exhausted and having seizures, about 15-30/year. I also had panic attacks. I have not had a seizure in almost 5 months and I have not had a panic attack in 9 months. I'm on the keto diet as well but the seizures reduced a lot before I started the diet. I'm not very strict with the diet either. I don't worry about carbs, just generally eat low-carb foods with little tastes of higher-carb foods here and there.

I have been using VCO over 15 years and in around the last 5 years I also started using chia seeds, turmeric and mushrooms that come in vitamin form. I also started doing bicycle crunches that work the lower abdominal muscles a lot better. I also started snacking more on roasted almonds. Not sure exactly what caused it, but I lost 70 lbs.!

Recently started MCT oil… easy to take! It’s not a thick oil like mineral oil (no gagging) & has absolutely no taste or smell. Began slowly @ 1 tsp for a week, 2 tsps for a week & then 1 Tbsp daily.

[rvchild]

I give some to my dog who has seizures, seems to be really helping to stop them

[celestina-divinemotherearth]

Thank you Dr. Gundry. Healthy food became a science and I am glad to learn from you.

Coconut oil gives you a feeling of being full, as does hot cocoa drinks

[zwaantjes]

[domdom]

Thank you, Dr Gundry 😊 I use MCT a few times a day. Love it on my eggs with avocado and a bit of goat cheese (slightly melted adds a nice flavour)
