COCONUT OIL vs MCT OIL: WHICH IS BEST FOR THE KETO DIET

A question I always get, is about coconut and MCT oils. No doubt they are some of the most popular and beneficial oils used in the Keto diet. People experience weight loss, better mental clarity, increased energy and much more.

It is important to realize that there is a difference between MCT oil and coconut oil. Coconut oil only contains at best 55% of the medium chain triglycerides whereas MCT oil is 100% MTC's. The remainder of the coconut oil is made up of long chain fatty acids, which are still great for the body. However, these just can't be absorbed and utilized as quickly as same way that the medium chain fatty acids are utilized.

Coconut and MCT oil benefits keto in a very big way, helping you to produce more ketones than with other oils. This, makes it much easier for you to get into and remain in ketosis as the MCT's are broken down into ketones.

But, what is the difference between coconut oil and MCT Oil? Which one is better and what for what are each one used for?

In tis video I will discuss:

The properties of each and exactly how much MCT's are in each.
How each are used for energy and brain function.
Which one is better for long and short term energy.
How each are metabolized.
What are the appearances of each.

Here's a little piece of helpful info for anyone with an itchy dog. We put 1T coconut oil in with our dog's food and she isn't scratching and biting anymore! She was in agony. Now she's so relaxed. Not sure why, but we are all happy about that!

What do I take if my liver is somewhat compromised by Hemochromatosis? I’m undergoing phlebotomy treatments & my ferritin level has come down 2000 points (originally 4580). I have another 2600 points to go. I’ve also lost 70lbs on Keto (so far). Keto saved my life.

I use both organic coconut oil, and C8 MCT oil (Dr Mercola brand). I put them in a drink.

Excellent info. I love coconut. Its the only oil I use now. MCT I put in a shake and drizzle it on my salads and coconut oil I use for cooking. I also prefer coconut cream to dairy cream. A pinch of salt usually cuts through the coconut flavour.
And If Ive been out in the sun all day, I ll rub MCT oil all over my body like a moisturiser.
GO COCONUTS🥥👍

I was hoping you would elaborate on unrefined versus refined coconut oil. I use unrefined as I assumed it was not messed with and would be more coconut flavor, etc.

Hello Dr. Nick, what is the best supplement to help All other supplements have High Absorption?
Coconut Oil? MCT? or Bioperine (Black Pepper)? Thanks

[timhalcomb]

Appreciate you sharing have a blessed day

[mike_lad_oo]

I don't like the coconut taste in everything. I get the steam refined coconut oil. If one doesn't want the taste or smell, that's the way to go.

[focused]

Thanks I need to get a better brand because my mat oil does not say it has c8 or c10 in it

[mahvashtabdili]

Hello dr iam 68 years old and on warfarin is Keto diet good for me last year I lost 20 ponds with atkins but gain back

[lateciaw]

When fasting can you use mct/coconut oil in your coffee? I know people have mixed feelings about this

[janereeves]

What brand would you recommend? I hate when I have to search for a brand and dont know which one is better than the other 😥😥😥

[JennKambourian]

Does powdered MCT oil work as well as liquid?

[LaraBisserier]

Mct oil makes me literally feel like I am going to faint. Could it be because I had gastric bypass more than 16 years ago? It has happened to me a few times now and it is scary.
