Keto MCT C8 oil

1. Description

   KETO MCT C8 OIL is a product made from coconut fatty acids and is 100% neutral in smell, taste and colour as it contains only pure C8 caprylic acid.

   Caprylic acid, which is contained in MCT oil is converted into ketones by the liver. Ketones act as a substitute for glucose in the body and help the body reach the state of ketosis. A state of ketosis activates the burning of body fat while contributing to energy production and mental function.

   Supplementing the diet with MCT C8 oil has been shown in studies to reduce visceral fat by activating its fat-burning properties even for those on a high-carb diet without following a ketogenic diet.

3. Benefits

   Caprylic acid C8  C8 helps the ketosis process even on a low-carb diet. Ketosis is a metabolic process that occurs when the body begins to burn fat because it doesn't have enough carbs to burn. During this process, the liver produces chemicals called ketones. MCT C8 activates the ketosis process even in the presence of carbohydrates.

   Caprylic acid C8 is a source of energy. MCTs are widely known for their energy-boosting benefits because they are quickly converted into ketones, which are a more efficient and stable source of energy than glucose. These go directly to the metabolism and the brain, so ketone production can help improve mental clarity and memory. Increases exercise performance. Because MCT C8 is absorbed directly through the gut, it provides quick energy, is used as"fuel" from the body and is not stored in body fat. Helps reduce appetite. Because they are fatty acids, they reduce appetite, which makes the body to you feel full for longer periods of time.

   Fights infections. Caprylic acid C8 has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. These properties have shown results in yeast infection treatments. A 2001 study found C10 to be the most effective fatty acid in treating three strains of the fungus Candida Albicans.

   Improves gut health. According to studies the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties can help to keep bad bacteria under control to treat digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome. A study showed that C8 can suppress cytokines, which damage GUT in Crohn's disease and stomach ulcers.

4. See the science

   Caproic acid (C6) It is present in small amounts in coconut oil. It has an unpleasant smell and causes gastrointestinal disturbances. It is found abundantly in dairy products such as whole milk and whole yoghurt and cheeses.

   Caprylic acid (C8) C8 is found in a proportion of about 6% in coconut oil and is also the rarest to find form.  It is tasteless, odourless and non-causing gastrointestinal discomfort.  With its antimicrobial effect, it strengthens the health of the intestine. When consumed it is immediately converted to ketones.

   Capric acid (C10) has antimicrobial and antifungal properties but converts to ketones at a slower rate and to a lesser extent than C8.

   Lauric acid (C12) is the most abundant form as it makes up 50% of the oils in coconut oil and has strong antimicrobial effects.

   C8 MCT oil Coconut MCT oils have different concentrations of C8 and C10 vary. C8 caprylic acid form is superior.

   This is due to caprylic acid's ability to increase ketones in the blood three times more than the other as one tablespoon of C8 MCT oil is equivalent to 4 tablespoons of plain MCT oils.
