WHY IT'S KETO-FRIENDLY
- Zero net carbs: pure fat with no carbohydrate load
- Rapid ketone support: C8/C10 MCTs are quickly transported to the liver and oxidized to ketones
- Clean, quick energy: useful pre-workout or during fasting windows
- May aid appetite control when used judiciously
- Neutral flavor: easy to add to coffee, tea, or dressings
- Flexible dosing: start with 1 tsp and titrate to tolerance
PREPARATION SUGGESTIONS
BUTTER/CREAM COFFEE
Blend MCT oil into black coffee with butter or heavy cream for a rich, sustained-energy morning drink.
DIRECT CONSUMPTION
Start with 1 teaspoon straight or mixed into water/unsalted broth; increase slowly to 1 tablespoon as tolerated.
SMOOTHIES
Add to Almond Milk (Unsweetened) or Coconut Milk (Full Fat) smoothies for extra energy without carbs.
SALAD DRESSING
Whisk with Apple Cider Vinegar, Dijon, and herbs; combine with Olive Oil for better flavor and texture.
FAT BOMBS
Stir into cocoa, cream cheese, and a keto sweetener; keep chilled since MCT oil stays liquid at room temp.
PRE-WORKOUT
Take 15–30 minutes before training for a quick, easily oxidized fat source.
