Let's start with Rapid Ketone Production. MCT oil, specifically C8C10 (caprylic and capric acid), is quickly absorbed through the portal vein and sent directly to the liver, where it is converted into ketones. This process takes just minutes, making it a fast way to increase ketone levels without waiting for the lymphatic system's slower fat-processing route. This speed makes taking MCT useful for quickly re-entering ketosis, especially after falling off the wagon.

How Does MCT Work?

Unlike long-chain fatty acids that must go through the lymphatic system, MCTs bypass this pathway and are absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the portal vein. This results in faster energy production since MCTs do not need to undergo extensive digestion and filtration processes. Take MCT to boost ketone production without fasting.

MCT oil provides an alternative way to raise ketones for people who may not be able to fast or who have fragile systems due to long-term carbohydrate consumption.

Did you Spend Most of your Life as a Carb Addict?

Instead of waiting 48 hours for ketosis through fasting, MCT oil can offer a safer and quicker route to ketone production. But if you are fasting, aid MCT will only further aid your body's process of autophagy, providing you with energy and the tools your body needs to produce ketones.

MCT Can Treat Inflammation & Conditions.

MCT oil may help reduce inflammation. It is valuable in treatment plans where ketone production helps reduce inflammation. Higher ketone levels contribute to a better blood sugar-to-ketone ratio, which can be essential for addressing various inflammatory conditions.

​Are you suffering from Irritable Bowl Syndrome?

I direct almost all of my patients who come to me with IBS to MCT for relief. MCT oil is easier to absorb than other fats. Healthy gut linings will absorb them even faster, and within 15-30 minutes, they can see an increase in ketones.

MCT oil, ESPECIALLY sourced from C8:C10, ensures high-quality fats that convert rapidly into ketones. Not all MCT products are created equal! it is important to check labels for the presence of these specific types. Be cautious of MCT containing C12 (lauric acid), which behaves more like a long-chain fatty acid and requires the lymphatic system for processing. The benefits from MCT oil with C12 will not be as beneficial as C8:C10.

MCT C8:C10 is a simple way to maintain or re-enter ketosis, especially if you have fallen off the wagon. My patients love it because they don’t need to do strict fasting or take exogenous ketones while using it to see results.
