Each 15ml tablespoon serving delivers 9.8g of C8 (Caprylic Acid) and 4.2g of C10 (Capric Acid), providing six times more true MCTs than plain coconut oil (which contains only around 15% C8 and C10). Zero carbs, unflavoured, and produced in Mutant's own manufacturing facility to their quality standard. 946ml \/ 63 serves, in stock at TopDog Nutrition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy MCT Oil — and Why C8 and C10 Specifically\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) take fewer biochemical steps to convert into energy than carbohydrates — they bypass normal fat digestion and are rapidly converted to ketones, which the body and brain can use for fuel almost immediately. Not all MCTs are equal though:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eC8 (Caprylic Acid) — 9.8g per serve\u003c\/strong\u003e — the most rapidly absorbed and converted to ketones.

Many budget MCT oils load C12 to inflate their MCT numbers.

Once comfortable, increase to 1 tablespoon (15ml) with food once daily. May use up to 3 tablespoons per day. \u003cstrong\u003eNot recommended for frying\u003c\/strong\u003e — pure C8 and C10 MCTs have a low smoke point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy start with a small dose?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMCT oil can cause nausea, stomach cramps or loose stools if you start at full dose without building up — particularly common in people who haven't used MCT oil before. Starting at 1 teaspoon and increasing over a week or two avoids this completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eIs it suitable for vegans?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — 100% coconut-derived, no animal products. Packaged in a facility that also handles milk, soya, wheat and fish (collagen), so those with severe allergies should check the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I use it for cooking?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo — pure C8 and C10 MCTs have a low smoke point and break down at cooking temperatures. Use cold or add to warm (not hot) drinks. For high-heat cooking, use coconut oil instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does this compare to regular coconut oil?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlain coconut oil is only around 15% true C8 and C10 MCTs — the rest is lauric acid and long-chain fats that don't behave like MCTs. Mutant MCT Oil is 100% C8 and C10 only, making it roughly six times more potent as an MCT source per tablespoon than plain coconut oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWill it make me gain weight?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eM\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mutant","offers":[{"title":"946ML | 64 Serves","offer_id":44248082088025,"sku":"TMUM7114S","price":59.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1513\/5678\/files\/MutantMCTOil.png?v=1785289098","url":"https:\/\/topdognutrition.co.nz\/products\/mutant-mct-oil-946ml","provider":"TopDog Nutrition","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
