NOW Foods MCT 100% Oil, 32 fl oz

I've been taking Coconut Oil and Caprylic Acid pills for a while, so I thought I wouldn't have a problem tolerating the 1 tablespoon recommended serving size. WRONG! - soon after the first intake of 1 tablespoon, I had diarrhea and experienced stomach ache for the rest of the day. If you're just starting out with MCT oil, start with 1 tsp for at least a week to build up your tolerance gradually or try MCT in powder form which won't upset stomach as much. As far as MCT's effect is concerned, I got it to help my brain function since I'm a bit insulin resistant after years of being a borderline prediabetic (now under control, being less sedentary and eating beans helped). MCT directly fuels your brain and my head keeps clearer and focused for much longer. Studies show MCT holds promise for Huntington's, dementia, and Alzheimers, and it makes sense given that some call Alzheimer's the diabetes of the brain where it can't effectively metabolize glucose for fuel, whereas ketone bodies provide an alternative fuel source to improve cognitive function. Give this supplement a try if your brain keeps getting foggy, as MCT allows for ketone production by liver and bypasses the digestion process to directly fuel your blood stream. Cancer cells can't utilize ketones for fuels, so this is a great supplement to try while restricting sugar/glucose or carbohydrates if you're battling cancer while restricting calories and in nutritional ketosis.

Great value and no smell or taste.

High quality MCT oil for the price (got it for $20). This bottle is HUGE and will last a while. The taste is very minimal (almost no taste at all). It's good for quick energy -- especially if you put it in your daily coffee (1 tablespoon). I take it shortly BEFORE my workout, and I find that it boosts metabolism, and helps me to loose weight more quickly.Honestly, I have NOT noticed a difference between NOW MCT oil and Brain Octane oil (had two bottles of the Brain Octane before), so I much rather purchase the NOW brand at a lower price, and I get a much bigger bottle too! Another thing I like about the NOW MCT oil vs. Brain Octane is that the NOW brand MCT oil comes in a GLASS BOTTLE. Brain Octane comes in a plastic bottle, which is NOT good when you live in an area that gets hot in the summer (I'm in Southern California - inland area), so prepare for chemicals from the plastic to leach in the oil on hot days during delivery (that will not happen with glass).Note: the first few times I took this on an empty stomach - I ended up with loose stools within less than 45 minutes (after taking one tablespoon). This is especially the case when taken first thing in the morning with warm/hot coffee. Some of you may need to take this with food, or start out with just 1 teaspoon instead of the serving size of 1 tablespoon. Also, make sure you are not sensitive to coconut oil. There is such a thing as coconut oil allergy/intolerance. I understand that coconut oil may have phenols and some people can have a hard time digesting phenols, so you may need to add a phenol (digestive) enzyme for that.

Makes it easy to enjoy with foods.

Just didn't work as I had hoped

Adds healthful calories to my Keto Chow as directed by Chris Bair. Doesn't affect the taste at all. Good product, I think.The only downside, which makes me tempted to take off a star, is that oil always drips down the side when pouring, especially when the bottle is nearly full. This doesn't happen with the other MCT Oil from Viva Labs, which comes in a plastic bottle, which I like since it is lighter and won't break. The Viva Labs one is also less expensive. Full disclosure: I ONLY purchased this because the Viva Labs one was out of stock. This is a good product, but I would only ever purchase again if the other one was out of stock again.

It takes time to see a benefit from supplements such as these and others, but I can comment on the apparent quality of this oil. It is a very clear oil that although dense in consistency, melts in your mouth. The nature of coconut oils is very interesting on the whole. It's not a wonder that they are actually healthful, despite being saturated. Nature is a marvelous thing. But I digress. I understand that this helps with weight loss and will ultimately improve my lipid numbers. I look forward to updating this review when I have more time using the product. Until then, thank you for such a fast delivery, and an apparently very high quality product!

I work as a personal trainer I am always looking for new things to try for my clients and myself. Having heard of bulletproof coffee I wanted to try it and see what I thought. The first day I used 1 Tbs in my coffee and it COMPLETELY curbed my hunger! The next day I put it in a large water bottle and it did the same. The 3rd day I used it in a smoothie as it had no effect on the flavor or texture. Come 1pm, I realized I hadn't eaten lunch but was not hungry!- Love the dark glass bottle- protects the contents from light and no plastic leeches in- As it is tasteless and odorless it can be used in anything from coffee to salad or even water- The price is not as high as some and the bottle is really big at 32 oz! With just 1 Tbs per day it will last awhile!- It can be kept in the fridge or at room temperature- It got me through a 90 minute workout this morning with energy to spare :0)- The packaging was very well done, labeled with a fragile sticker, the class bottle was suspended in plastic within the cardboard box
