Dietary supplement with pure medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil, from high-quality coconut oil. Its main ingredient is caprylic acid C8, which activates the ketosis process in the body.
The
KETO MCT C8 OIL is a product, from coconut fatty acids and is 100% neutral in odor, taste and color as it contains only pure C8 caprylic acid.
The caprylic acid, contained in the MCT oil is converted into ketones by the liver. These ketones function as a substitute for glucose within the body and thus help the body to reach a state, called ketosis.
A state of ketosis activates the burning of body fat, while simultaneously contributing to energy production and mental function.
Supplementing the diet with MCT C8 oil has been proven by studies to reduce visceral fat, activating fat-burning properties even for those on a high-carbohydrate diet, without following a ketogenic diet.

Benefits
- Helps the process of ketosis even in a carbohydrate diet. Ketosis is a metabolic process that occurs when the body starts to burn fat, because it does not have enough carbohydrates 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 benefits in enhancing energy, because they are quickly converted into ketones, which are a more effective and stable source of energy than glucose.
- They go directly to 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 intestine, it provides quick energy, used as 'fuel' by the body and is not stored in body fat.
- Helps reduce appetite. Because they are fatty acids, they reduce appetite, making the body feel full for longer periods of time. Fights infections.
- Caprylic acid C8, has strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. These properties have shown results in the treatment of yeast infections.
- A 2001 study found that C10 is the most effective fatty acid in combating three strains of the Candida Albicans fungus. Improves intestinal health.
- According to studies, the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of C8 can help keep bad bacteria under control for the treatment of digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome.
- A study showed that C8 can suppress cytokines, which are responsible for intestinal damage in Crohn's disease and stomach ulcers."
- Caproic acid (C6) It is present in small amounts in coconut oil. It has a bad taste and causes gastrointestinal disorders. It is converted directly into ketones. It is abundant in dairy products such as whole milk, whole yogurt and cheeses.
- Caprylic acid (C8) C8 is present in coconut oil at about 6% and is the most elusive form. It is tasteless, odorless and does not cause gastrointestinal disorders, while with its antimicrobial action, it enhances intestinal health. It is converted directly into ketones.
- Capric acid (C10) It has antimicrobial and antifungal properties but is converted into ketones at a slower rate and to a lesser extent compared to C8.
- Lauric acid (C12) It is the most abundant as it constitutes 50% of the oils in coconut oil, while it has strong antimicrobial actions.
- C8 MCT oil Coconut MCT oils have different concentrations in C8 and C10. Oils with caprylic acid C8 are superior.
- This is due to the ability of caprylic acid to increase ketones in the blood three times more than the others, that is, a spoonful of C8 oil is equivalent to 4 spoonfuls of simple MCT oils.
How to useTake 1 teaspoon (= 5 ml) daily for the first week and then gradually increase to 2-3 teaspoons daily (10-15ml) or as directed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
