NutricostPremium MCT Oil Powder .5LBS - Best For Keto, Ketosis, and Ketogenic Diets - Zero Net Carbs, Non-GMO and Gluten Free

1st and most important: How much to takeIf you're new to MCT Oil, DON'T have a full scoop the first time you use. Remember those infamous reviews for sugar free gummy bears? You might get some first hand experience if you dive right in with a full scoop (like I did)! If you have an upset stomach after your first attempt, don't let it turn you off. Just try a much much smaller amount. After my ill advised first attempt, I moved to just 1/2 a tablespoon/ day, worked my way up, and all was good. I like to have coffee all day long, so instead of 1 cup with a full scoop, I'll do 1/2 - 1 tablespoon per cup and probably have 5 of those a day.2nd: Taste & shelf lifeThis is a perfect replacement for coffee creamer. I will never go back. I didn't expect it to be so creamy given that it's fat. It definitely doesn't taste like you just added a scoop of fat to your coffee. I add a few drops of vanilla stevia and it tastes the same to me as my old high sugar vanilla creamer. It's also great because you don't have to refrigerate it, so you can keep some at your desk at the office without risk of someone snagging it from the office fridge (I see you Janet, lol). It also doesn't have the shorter shelf life of some creamers, which has ended up saving me $.3rd: BlendingIt doesn't blend great into coffee if you're just using a spoon. Some small unblended chunks will remain on top. I had it this way for a couple of months before a friend recommended getting one of those little coffee blender/frother devices. Mine was about $11 on amazon and it works GREAT with this MCT Oil. It gets rid of all the chunks immediately and actually creates a small amount of foamy awesomeness. Plus, since the part you're putting in your drink is just a small stick, it's easy to rinse clean (vs using an actual blender). It's not a 100% necessary addition, but getting that frother upleveled this stuff massively for me. I already ordered another one to keep at my office.4th: Keto & IFI found that when I use this after cheat days, I get back into ketosis faster. At least, based on my amateur testing of having it vs not having it, and using ketosis testing strips to see how quickly I got back into ketosis.It's also an easy way to get your macros to where you want them. Too low on fat for the day? Just add some more MCT Oil to coffee or bone broth. It seems like you could really add it to any liquid, and you'll just increase it's creaminess. So I'm sure there are other ways to use.I also do intermittent fasting. I know it's not _technically_ fasting if you have anything caloric during your fasting period, but using a small bit of this was a great crutch when I was first trying to get through increased fasting periods. Slowly, I was able to fast for longer without the crutch. I know the fasting community might gasp and clutch their pearls at my bastardized version of fasting, but it worked for me and again, was just used as a crutch until my body was used to a fully calorie free fast. Hey, whatever gets you there, right?

This is a well made product. It dissolves in coffee very easily with just2 or 3 seconds on a small blender. The taste is very nice. And it does help with a keto diet plan. I have and will buy again.

Product is safely and clearly packaged and well labelled. I can't speak to the magical properties ascribed to MCT Oil. But it's a good non-dairy coffee creamer (and cheaper) and works well as an appetite suppressant mixed with a protein smoothie for breakfast. 5-Star review because this is a repeat purchase and was satisfied with MCT as a tasty, healthful ingredient.

I originally had another expensive powder “MCT Wellness” product I was taking and while I felt it worked, I wanted something more cost effective and easier to use because it was difficult to mix and blend. Literally, it was both physically and taste-wise, it had a distinct flavor that made it more challenging to combine with any other flavored liquids. Then I tried a liquid form C8 MCT oil “Brain Octane” product but it caused me considerable daily stomach aches, even with the teaspoon starter amount. After 2 months of pain and 2 products later, I was forced to find a more suitable product that fit my needs and maintain my state of ketosis. This product was advertised to be good for Ketosis but when it arrived I noticed that it said nothing about the C8 MCT oil content on the bottle, which was sort of a letdown because I like the flavor, which was flavorless, the fact that it has good blending power, and the value for the money was spot on. What made it frustrating was the fact that the same company also sells a similar-looking product that advertises 95% C8 MCT oil. In conclusion, this product would have been perfect had it advertised the key ingredients more prominently and made less confusion for customers by at least making the bottle design and/or label a different color to accentuate that difference.

I have used this brand for years - reliable company good quality! Please keep the prices down. I would not mind lighter weight flexible earth friendly packaging to hold down cost.

No issues with this. Mixes well, tastes as it should (no taste), easy on stomach. 2nd time purchasing and will stick with this one. Define recommend to anyone using MCT oil, especially those with a sensitive stomach /digestive issues.

Exactly what I ordered. Frothy up really good. No flavor.

What your friends who have been taking this awhile forget to tell you is that it can seriously disrupt your system. In a big way.The first day I took it I had intense heartburn I mean Mount vesuvius was about to blow. I never ever have heartburn. I chomped down a couple seriously out of date Tums my parents forgot at my house and forgot about it.Day 2. I mix up my coffee and as usual my dog is dancing a Texas 2-step after his morning breakfast and it's time to go for his poo poo pronto if you catch my drift. He's in full on poop shivers mode so I'm double timing it to slip my sneakers on and get him out to business doing. I bent over to slip them on and a fart tried so non aggressively to escape and all of a sudden much to my horror I felt a a warm tug of wet gravity in my pantaloons. Gpoey wet and warm. There was no mistaken this. No way!!!! What in Satan's sixth sphincter ring of diarreatic hell happened here??? I tip toe ran to the toilet as fast as I could all the while Mr poop shivers is now barking at me for clearly cutting in line and my parrot with his keen sense of smell and anxiety is screaming at the top of his lungs. 17 flushes and a shower later I finally relieved Mr poop shivers on his walk and learned thanks to Google that mct powder may have a laxative effect, especially when you cost start using it.
