Fuel Your Body and Mind with MCT Oil


Not sure what MCT oil is? Or maybe you don’t think it’s for you because you’re not on a high-fat diet? Let us introduce you to all the benefits of adding MCT oil to your routine.

Your body turns MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) into ketones, which help burn fat, curb cravings, and provide mental energy.* Ketones give you sustained energy without the crash that can come with other energy sources like caffeine. Not on a keto diet? No problem. You’ll still get all the fat-burning and brain-powering benefits of MCT oils.*

Not all MCT oils are the same. C8 MCT oil gives you four times more ketone energy than the C12 MCT oil that makes up your average coconut oil. That means you get more brain-fuelling and metabolism-boosting power with C8 MCT oil, the only ingredient in Bulletproof Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil.*

Here’s a closer look at what that means:

  • C8 (caprylic acid): This is the all-around best MCT. It has a shorter medium-chain structure, making it easier to absorb and for the liver to convert into ketones. Since it produces more ketones than your average coconut oil, it provides better brain and body energy, metabolic burn, and cognitive function.*
  • C10 (capric acid): C10 supports sustained energy, boosts metabolism, and provides brain fuel, but it doesn’t produce as many ketones as C8. Bulletproof MCT Oil is a blend of C8 and C10.*
  • C12 (lauric acid): Your body doesn’t treat C12 (AKA what you’ll mostly find in coconut oil) like an MCT, and it doesn’t produce as many ketones.*
  • C8 and C10 are the best types of MCTs overall, whether you follow the keto diet or just want more energy.*

Purity matters when it comes to MCTs. Bulletproof MCT oils come from pure coconut oil and are triple distilled. All Bulletproof oils are manufactured in the United States and sourced from imported coconuts, which are more sustainable and environmentally friendly than some alternatives. So, what ends up in your bottle is pure—no fillers or additives.

Not sure how to use MCT oil in your daily routine? That’s the fun part. It’s completely flavourless, so you can incorporate it into your favourite food and drinks. You can cook with MCT oil in recipes up to 320°F, like pesto, sautéed veggies, smoothies, and more. Or even froth it into your morning coffee! When MCT oil blends with your brew, you get a satisfying coffee that supports sustained energy and brain function while reducing cravings.*
