Let’s talk about why some people enjoy having MCT oil in their coffee. 

You may have heard of something called bulletproof coffee. Bulletproof coffee is one 8oz-12oz cup of coffee mixed with 1-2 tbsp of butter and 1-2 tbsp of MCT oil. 

There can be a lot of benefits of consuming this, especially when you’re first starting out on keto and intermittent fasting because it may help you fast for longer. 

MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides. These are special fats usually made from coconut oil that turns into ketones pretty fast. This helps you potentially generate ketones as fuel without really changing your diet. 

Sometimes, when making bulletproof coffee, people also add ingredients such as:
• Turmeric 
• Cinnamon 
• Unflavored chocolate powder 
• Sea salt
• Chili powder 

Benefits of MCT oil in coffee:

1. More physical energy 
2. Increased mental clarity 
3. Reduced appetite 
4. More oxygen
5. Increased fasting 
6. Helps with the transition to burning fat 

Pretty much all MCT oil companies get their products from the same source. The United States doesn’t grow coconuts, so MCT oil comes from non-US sources. I have an MCT oil product that is from Indonesia. 

I believe that typically MCT oil is overpriced. Many brands sell MCT oil for $25 to $45 for one 16oz bottle. I sell my MCT oil for $12.95. 

Many people enjoy bulletproof coffee, you may want to give it a try too!

Dr Berg is so amazing. Discovered only 1 week ago. 52 yo male here in pretty bad shape on French wines and delicious pastries in Paris. Went biking 12km this morning and was not even that hungry for my breakfast at 1:30pm! 💪 In addition to his knowledge, his explanations are very clear and never boring. I am motivated and will keep you posted!

I recently started adding the oil to my coffee and now I add it to my smoothies. I like it and love the energy it provides.

I m Hawaiian born & raised in Hawaii still Blessed to live here🌊☀🏄🏝☀and my greatgrandparents made cold press coconut oil! We ate it daily! I'm 73 years old, coconut oil, & organic olive oil are the only two oils in my pantry! Coconut oil is great in my morning coffee too!

I started drinking bulletproof coffee maybe two months ago. I happened to have a huge container of coconut oil so I started using it in my bulletproof coffee. The first thing I noticed that was increased mental clarity and energy. I'm now at the point where I don't need monkfruit to sweeten it which is a miracle.

I admire your honesty and integrity in your product disclosure. ✅

I started using the mct in my coffee this last month. Makes a big difference.

[mtadams]

I have been starting my day since I went Keto and IF. It has helped me to fast longer into the day.

Been using Organic Coconut Oil with Coffee on an empty stomach evey day before I hit the gym since end of last year... Energy levels off the chart 💪.

I make my coffee Italian style in a little moka pot on my gas burner. Then I warm up some heavy cream in the little metal pot (like the one you use to froth milk for espresso), add some MCT oil and froth it up with one of those little battery operated frothers. It’s delicious and holds me until lunch.

I love you Dr Eric Berg! Thanks for all that you do! Im so glad my friend recommended your channel to me!

2 tbsp of VCO in the morning helps extend my overnight fasting to 14 even 16 hours a day.

Cheers & mabuhay from tropical Philippines!

Word of warning. I went straight for 1 tablespoon of MCT with my coffee and was soon greeted that afternoon with a sudden diarrhea attack.

Start with a little and add more each day.
The mental boost I feel after drinking is noticable and amazing, never thought I could feel so clear headed than when I'm in ketosis and just finished an MCT and coconut oil coffee.

[GaiaD]

I blend coconut oil with my coffee, and it makes it creamy and frothy just like a latte! It's super delicious. Adding some cinnamon sounds amazing!

[margarets]

This coffee is so powerful. I remember having this for first time. My mind was tireless. Mind clarity

[artistocracy]

I'm drinking a coffee right now with real cream, salted butter, and MCT oil! I have 3 a day and have done so for 2 years! (In Australia we call cream, cream!)

Dr Berg, I’m 68 and an active carpenter working every day. I’m thin and don’t want to loose any weight. I drink bp coffee every morning and fast till 3+-.

Great information, as always. Thanks, Dr. Berg. I have used MCT oil in the past and noticed an uptick in energy and focus, which were good, but, I'm currently water fasting and want to produce ketones by burning my own body fat. I would be interested to see before and after pictures of people you have helped lose weight via fasting. Your talks and charts are so motivating and helpful. Seeing results in people would take it to the next level. I need extra visual motivation.
