Backed Up By Science
MCTs are not created equal. And if you are looking for the most efficient MCT Oil for quick, sustained and longer energy for brain and body to perform at optimum level, increased focus and productivity, and increased ketone production or brain’s alternative fuel source, Pure C8 Coconut MCT Oil is for you!
The benefits of C8 MCT Oil are science-based.
Energy Fuel
It is converted to energy rapidly, providing you with a quick, stable and longer energy performance. It may help reduce lactate buildup and improve endurance resulting in the use of more fat instead of carbs for energy, which translates to improved productivity and exercise performance.
One study found that athletes who took 6 grams or about 1.5 teaspoons of MCTs with food before work-out had lower lactate levels and it found them easier to exercise.
Natural Brain Fuel
It is converted quickly and efficiently into ketones in the liver making it a convenient source of energy for brain cells due to its shorter (medium) chain length. It serves as an instant energy source that fuels your brain as it easily enters your cells without being broken down to improve memory, focus and brain processing.
Our brain is the fattiest organ in our body that’s made up of over 60% fat.
“Ketones are the brain’s only alternative fuel source. As people age or suffer from neurological decline, the brain becomes less able to utilize glucose, its usual fuel source. When this happens, brain cells begin to decline and die. Typical diets generate low levels of ketones that are unable to adequately supply these energy deficient brain cells. However, when you raise the body’s ketone levels sufficiently, the brain will always fully utilize them, thus providing support to those same cells that were in decline”.
Evidence suggests that 20-70 grams of supplemental MCTs that include C8 Caprylic or C10 Capric Acid can modestly improve the symptoms of mild to moderate Alzheimer’s.
Jumpstarts Weight Loss / Manages Weight
It promotes weight loss or normalizes weight. It may help you reach your goals, whether to lose weight, maintain weight, or gain weight. Its healthy fats help reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness, help burn fat and calories, and help absorb nutrients
It increases the release of two hormones that promote the feeling of fullness in the body, peptide YY and Leptine. It has about 10% fewer calories than typical cooking oil such as olive, corn and canola oils.
Since it is converted into ketones, if you are following a ketogenic diet, which is very low in carbs yet high in fat, taking MCT oil can help you stay in the fat burning state known as ketosis.
“Maintaining a healthy weight is important for health. In addition to lowering the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and high blood pressure, it can also lower the risk of many different cancers.”
Overcomes High Blood Sugar and Diabetes
- It may help reduce risk factors for heart diseases, such as weight and cholesterol
It may help improve cholesterol and antioxidant levels and reduce other heart disease risk factors such as weight, blood pressure and inflammation. It significantly reduces C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker that increases the risk of heart diseases.
- It may help control blood sugar levels and support diabetes management
It may help lower blood sugar levels by reducing insulin resistance. It may help manage diabetes by reducing fat storage and increasing fat burning.
One study of 40 people with diabetes found that those who consumed MCT Oil daily had significant reductions in the body weight, waist circumference and insulin resistance, compared to those taking normal cooking oil or vegetable oil.
Yes to Immunity Boost
- Gut Health
It may help optimize the growth of good bacteria and support the gut lining and digestive system to properly absorb vitamins and minerals from food.
Our gut is home to 85% of our immunity. A good Gut Health can boost our immune system.
- Anti-infection
It contains powerful fatty acids resulting in its antimicrobial and antifungal properties. It fights yeast causing thrush and various skin and fungal infections. It possesses cancer-fighting and antimicrobial action.
- Used to treat clinical conditions like malnutrition, diarrhea, fat indigestion, autism and seizures.
