Which works better, brain octane oil or MCT 100%?

as i said in response to another question here, MCT is synthesized, real coconut oil isn't. furthermore, real coconut oil contains lauric acid, its main component, which is absent from all MCT products. C8 may be beneficial--and as a current user of Brain Octane, i can vouch for its efficacy, truly amazing--but if you get only C8, you are missing out on all the other wonderful fatty acids contained in coconut oil, especially lauric acid. here's an article that explains it well: http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/mct-oil-vs-coconut-oil-the-truth-exposed/

How much is a serving ? How many servings per bottle?

a "serving" is usually listed as a tablespoon so in a 16oz bottle there are 32 tablespoons .. having said that, a serving as a practical matter is based on tolerance .. MCT can cause gastro distress .. best to start slow, maybe a teaspoon to see how you react, then increase up to 3 tablespoons a day .. In one study 22 grams (about a tablespoon and a half) was the therapeutic dose used to see improvement in Alzheimer's patients ..

What are the ingredients? Thank you.

My bottle states very clearly "Ingredients: Caprylic acid triglycerides from highly refined coconut oil" and "Contains no palm oil." The Bulletproof website also states "100% caprylic acid triglycerides from coconut oil". Now on my third 16oz. bottle and am completely satisfied with this product, we use 1 or 2 teaspoons in our morning coffee along with a teaspoon of Ancient Organics Ghee (clarified butter, 100% organic and freshly made in Berkeley CA). Best. Coffee. Ever.

Do you refrigerate after opening?

Genuine mct oil should NOT solidify (like coconut oil) when refrigerated. NOW brand MCT oil is the only brand that I have purchased that dies not solidify when refrigerated so I’m sticking to that brand. Sure NOW brand is not purely caprylic acid but it slides the claim to be.

C8 MCT Oil – A Daily Must in My Coffee

I first started using MCT oil when I was doing keto, and recently I got back to it—not for keto this time, but for the overall health benefits of C8 MCT. I add a tablespoon to my black coffee every morning, and it’s been great. It doesn’t break my fast, blends well, and makes my coffee feel more satisfying. An excellent addition to my daily routine.

Amazon facilitates chocolate bomb desserts!

I am on a keto diet which requires this amazing oil with which to prepare special desserts. I made chocolate macadamia nut bombs in ten minutes with the MCT oil and they were frozen and ready to eat in half an hour…Thanks to you, Amazon for finding this oil for me which I could not find in my local groceries stores.

The best quality out there!

I put a tablespoon of this mct oil in my coffee every morning to help support my keto diet and it’s great, it has no taste. This brand is by far the highest quality out there, as it’s specifically C8. I’ve tried other brands that have upset my stomach or gave me a burning feeling in my throat, and this does none of that.It’s worth nothing: if you are new to taking mct oil, start SLOWLY. Your body needs to get used to it and if you take too much too fast you can experience nausea and diarrhea. I’d recommend starting with a teaspoon and working your way up.

Beneficial

We add it to morning smoothies. In addition to the health benefits, it helps keep the froth under control.

Frustration: Great Oil... Poor Packaging

I started using Bullet MCT oil on August 2025, and I like the taste—it's smooth and not greasy. I’m hopeful it works well for me. However, I’ve noticed a concern: no matter how I position the bottle, whether pouring into a spoon or a cup, the oil tends to leak down the sides of the bottle, making a mess on the table or floor. After reading through Amazon reviews, I learned that the twist cap bottle, which I have, is the cause of this issue. Thankfully, the new bottles now feature a flip cap. I’m glad I bought the 3oz size because, for every tablespoon or two I use daily, a significant amount ends up wasted on the table.
