Both MCTs and exogenous ketones are ketogenic.
Exogenous ketones are pre-made, ready to go.
In contrast, MCTs nudge the liver to actually make the ketones.
By aiding this ketogenic process, you help train these specific pathways. That’s the thinking, says Brianna Stubbs, PhD.
C8 MCT Powder is a novel medium chain triglyceride (MCT) powder that delivers 10 g of MCT with 95% caprylic acid (C8) triglycerides. A high C8 concentration is shown to increase ketone levels better than standard MCTs. This neutral tasting powder easily mixes into beverages and food for an extra boost of fatty acids in the diet to enhance endogenous ketone production and support cognitive function or weight management. *
Supplement Facts
Serving Size: Approx. 14.5 g,
Active Ingredient: 10 grams of actual C8 MCT oil (in powdered form, spray dried onto four grams of powder)
Servings Per Container: 20
Cost Per Serving of MCT Oil: $0.17 per gram (of C8 MCT oil, arguably the best price per gram in the industry)
‡ Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
