NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, MCT (Medium-chain triglycerides) Oil 14 g, Weight Management, Liquid, 32-Ounce

As another reviewer had mentioned, I also read a review of the benefits of MCTs. My purpose in getting it was for my 93 year old mother who has dementia. Although we had been making progress with her using other supplements, all of this came to a screeching halt when she got shingles on one side of her face and in her eye, and then got a super bug UTI from the hospital she was admitted into. In the 6-8 weeks that we battled her illnesses, she became incontinent, slept almost all the time, became unable to walk, and couldn't eat solid foods. All of her foods had to be liquefied so she could swallow them. Getting her to swallow any supplements was completely impossible. After almost 8 weeks of little improvement, I read the article about the benefits of MCTs. I had coconut oil on hand. So I ordered this MCT oil, and the next morning, my husband added a tablespoon of coconut oil to her liquid oatmeal. Surprisingly, I received my order for the MCT oil that day. So I added a tablespoon to her fruit and veggie smoothie and to her "soup" in the evening. The next morning she was more alert and awake for a longer period. Again, MCT oil was added to her liquid meal at 3 different times. By the end of the day, she was walking more on her own, watching TV, and went to the bathroom without us asking her if she had to go. Tonight, the second day, she was trying to talk again, and was laughing for the first time in 8 weeks. So, is it co-incidence that this happened after less than 48 hours after taking the MCT oil and the coconut oil? With all that we have gone through with her, I don't think so. As with most supplements, you will not feel a difference unless you have a "real" problem that the supplement happens to help. In my mother's case, I believe that the MCTs in the MCT oil and coconut oil have made an almost miraculous different in her. I also tried a tablespoon of this MCT oil in my fruit and veggie drink and noticed increased energy the same day. I truly believe this supplement is beneficial for extra energy, for dementia, and it is also supposed to help with weigh loss (can't vouch for this). I would highly recommend this product for the quality and for the low price for a quart of it. UPDATE: I thought I might also add that I have used this oil in bread recipes with great success, and also for salad dressings. I usually get the 4-pack offered on Amazon by XSNonline to save money.

A cure for Alzheimer's? Not exactly but it does provide amazing results. We discovered the use of coconut oil and MCT oil on a website: [...] which tells the story of a doctor whose husband has Alzheimers. She had remarkable results with giving him this oil three times a day. So, we tried it too along with coconut pills and coconut spread. We also are seeing remarkable improvement's in my mother's dementia. It may not work for everyone, but it's worth checking out. There are virtually no side effects other than diarrhea if you take too much too soon. It's pretty much tasteless and can be added to food or beverages. Gradually adding it to the diet is recommended. How it works in a nutshell is that it provides the brain with ketones/triglicerides that the body is no longer producing enough of and sends it directly to the brain, bypassing the liver. It is the adding of these ketones that feed the brain what it is lacking. The side effects of these ketones are less confusion and more memory retention, and patients have remarked that after taking this it is like "turning the light on" in the brain. You can see minimal results after two hours of the first dose. And improvements continue the longer a person takes it in gradually increased doses. You will be completely convinced of its effect if you use it for a month then take it away for a week. Of course, you may have to start all over in smaller doses, but if it is working, you will definitely know. I've personally started adding to my coffee each morning (I'm 42 years old and a diabetic and new studies link Alzheimer's and diabetes) Baby formulas have MCT forms added because it helps the brain develop and pre-mature babies have been getting it in one form or another since the 60's because of it's effect on the developing brain. Go to that website, read the research. Check it out for yourself. If it works for you, please spread the good news.

Great option. I’m staying in ketosis well and burning fat. Totally recommend. Fast shipping

This is a great price on pure MCT oil and I've used several NOW products and have always been satisfied with the quality. I use it as part of my diet for when I am trying to reduce my body fat percentage and I do think that, with the proper diet, it is a benefit, especially during fasting. I either take a tablespoon of it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning or blend it in with my coffee to make Bullet Proof Coffee. If I am intermittent fasting, it helps stave off hunger long enough for me to make it until early afternoon. It is a great supplement to a low carb, Keto, or Paleo diet. It is odorless and tasteless and I know that it can be used in cooking and making salad dressings but I have not used it for that. Now, the reason that I did not give it 5 stars is because it does cause me some gastric distress in the form of minor cramping, nausea, and it can also really clear the pipes; the latter can be a good thing but not always. This is not directed at the brand of NOW product, but is a side effect of MCT's in general. I have had the same issues with experimenting with pure coconut oil which is high in MCT's. I highly recommend starting with just a teaspoon or so and letting it sit for a little while to see how your system handles it. My system has gotten use to it to some degree but the side effects are still pronounced enough that I can only take it on an empty stomach a few days in a row before I need a break.

Okay, so I'm super new to the coffee world, let alone MCT oil. About a month ago I discovered the super charged latte, which is basically a bulletproof coffee. I did some digging, and discovered enough benefits of this crazy concoction that I decided to try it out. I am IMPRESSED. Mind you, this on the heels of discovering a new workout program and switching to a gf/df diet. Usually when I start working out and especially when I start losing weight or body fat, my appetite goes into overdrive. I become food obsessed and no matter how hearty of a breakfast and/or lunch I have I still practically barge down the door after work in desperate anticipation of dinner. Also, it has also been difficult to kick my deplorable coca cola habit. Well, tada- introducing the super charged latte and I'm totally different! Until this week I have been making 20oz of coffee, 2Tblsp of GRASSFED butter (I'm lactose intolerant so I was VERY leary of this... but some reading said otherwise, they were right!), and 2Tblsp of organic coconut oil, 4oz of unsweetened almond milk, and a scoop of protein powder. Not only have I absolutely not even missed a daily coca cola, but I can eat a simple, small- almost snack like, breakfast. At lunch I am not seduced by the powerful smells of pizza and fries, I can happily and satisfyingly CHOOSE to eat whatever healthy, even pure vegetable lunch without feeling lame about not devouring junk food. But here's the thing. Just got the MCT oil this week and switched the coconut oil out for 2tsps of MCT... my day didn't start any different, same healthy breakfast, same healthy lunch... but I got home and decided that the dinner at my family's house wasn't healthy enough and I wanted to wait to use the healthy stuff I had at home. I got home and was so focused on getting in my 1 hour workout program while my child slept (earlier than usual), that all of a sudden I was getting ready to hit the hay at 940pm and I suddenly realized- WHOA! Not only did I forget to have dinner, but I literally didn't feel desperate to eat something. I was able to make a sound and smart decision to have a small serving of lightly sauteed greens and a couple of slices of organic lunch meat. It's several days later and I'm very happy I got MCT oil. I've also been able to continue losing weight, which... I'm very happy with. I hope to continue seeing its benefits and am thankful this was available!!

I first ordered this about 6 months ago to make Dave Asprey's Bulletproof coffee (which also calls for grass-fed butter which can be very hard to find, but my local Trader Joe's carries Kerrygold grass-fed butter). I first made it with 2 TBS of MCT oil and quickly discovered that was too much for me at 145 lbs (I went for a walk right after and had to make like the bear...), so I cut back to 1 TBS which I handled just fine. I heard Dave Asprey on a podcast recommend starting with just 1 tsp to see how well you tolerate it, and to work your way up from there so your body can adjust. Here are the results after 6 months of daily Bulletproof coffee made with 1 TBS MCT oil and 1 TBS grass-fed butter: 1. I have lost 8 pounds EFFORTLESSLY. I did not reduce my calorie intake, at least not intentionally 2. I have a much more steady flow of energy. Rather than the morning caffeine high and mid-day crash and more coffee and more crashing, etc, I now just drink one big mug of bulletproof in the AM and that's it for the day. Again, this took no effort - I just found I no longer wanted or needed any more coffee for the day. 3. I feel great and since I am 57 years old and recently started running, that's noteworthy. I started because I read in Gretchen Reynold's "The First 20 Minutes" book on exercise that the knees of older adults who run are actually healthier that non-runner's knee's. I can now run 3 miles in under 30 minutes which I have been told is pretty spectacular for an old broad. Don't know if it's the MCT oil, but I'm not about to stop drinking my bulletproof to find out. And everything is beautiful and NOTHING HURTS, to quote Kurt Vonnegut. 4. My lower digestive track is healthier - this stuff makes me as regular as clockwork. I never really had any problems in that arena, but I'm high-performing now. (I bet you folks just love reading about reviewers' bathroom habits :) Oh and BTW - bulletproof coffee is delicious!

The actual product seems very good. The bottle however is not so. The bottle is glass which makes it very heavy. I have arthritis so the weight alone adds to the difficulty of handling it. The lid and spout is not helpful to reduce spilling or dripping. It's a very messy combination. You have to be careful where you store it because you can't completely clean off the oil so it leaves a ring wherever it sets. The price is good for the product but not worth it for me to buy again. I'll spend a little more to get a better combination of oil and bottle.

I, like a lot of people, heard about this stuff from "bulletproof coffee". I am almost done with my second bottle now, that of which I mix into my morning tea. Wow...this stuff is no joke. The first three times I took about a teaspoon-tablespoon and threw it up all three times. It made my stomach and throat feel a way it's never felt before. Made me sick....I didn't give up. After that I continued to start out slow in my tea and was fine. Really just noticed that I was going "number two" more often. Then one night I was feeling really bloated and tight in my stomach so I decided I needed a good old cleanse of the insides so I took a shot glass strait to the head before going to bed. MISTAKE! Maybe. I was up ALL NIGHT LONG having the worst cramps of my life, running to the bathroom, seeing stars, pain, pain, pain. It was down right awful. In the midst of seeing stars on the toilet I thought to myself, "911?". By morning it was done and truth be told...that following week I felt better than I have in a very long time. My stomach was way way thinner, bloating was gone, tightness in abdomen was gone....this stuff CLEANED ME OUT! It was a great feeling and worth the pain. But it's not for the weak at heart. Now I take about a tablespoon-2 tablespoons in my tea each morning and wait patiently until I have to go. Every morning my stomach will start to rumble and cramp and little bit and then on to the bathroom I go....about two or three times each morning. It's a little embarrassing, smelly and loud but I really do love how this stuff cleans me out. I have lost two inches in my stomach, I rarely feel bloated unless I make a bad eating decision and my stomach has gone down a lot. I highly recommend this stuff....you will NEVER have to take a laxative again. But start out very slow...you have to let your stomach get used to it!

ケトで脂肪燃焼による減量を目的に購入してます。日々の食事カロリーとPFCバランスの管理が肝要なので、それが出来ている前提で、この商品の購入は満足すると思います。購入時の価格も今ほど円安でなかったので、安かったのでまとめ買いしました。なお、MCTオイルだけ摂取しても効果は出ません。この商品を購入して効果を期待するなら、きちんとPFCを含めた食事管理と体調管理をしましょう。何が体に起こるのか理解した上で、正しく使うことをお勧めします。

さっぱりした味なので使いやすい。 コーヒーに入れて飲んでいます。

バターコーヒーが健康に良い、と言う話から、MCTオイルも摂るようになりました。 毎朝、コーヒーに、バターとMCTオイル、すりごま、ソイプロテイン、シナモン、エリスリトールを入れて、 撹拌器で撹拌して、飲んでいます。 これを一杯飲むだけで、夕方までお腹も減らず、活動できます。 このMCTオイルは、大容量で、安価なので、 気に入っています。 これからもリピートすると思います。

レビューに不快な臭いがついてる様に書いてある方が数人いたのでそこが気になり、倍の値段のmctオイルとこちらのオイルでバターコーヒーを作って飲み比べしてみましたが 風味、味に差はなし、各オイルだけの匂いを嗅いでも無臭でした。品質改良でもしたのでしょうか？ 安心した反面、あまりに安いので効果に差があるのか心配ですが腹持ち加減については変わらない為、今後買い続けようと思います。 あと梱包は液漏れのレビューがあって改良されたのか知りませんが笑えるくらいプチプチが巻かれていてとても安全に届きました。

プラ容器の為100均の小さい容器で口先が注ぎやすい物に移しかえました。 お値段が国産より安いので気にしなく使えます。
