If you're after a natural source of energy to power your brain and performance, you've found it. MCT stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides, and these clever fatty acids work differently from the fats in other standard oils. While regular fats take their time travelling through the digestive system, MCTs head straight to your liver where they're turned into instant fuel. Our MCT oil comes exclusively from organic coconuts (never palm oil) and is carefully extracted through triple steam distillation. Whether you're following a low-carb lifestyle or need sharper focus and sustained energy, MCT oil delivers.
What makes MCT oil special? It's the medium chain triglycerides: caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). These fats skip normal digestion and convert directly into ketones in your liver. That means instant fuel for your brain and body.
For those on a keto diet, MCT oil helps maintain ketosis naturally. But you don't need to be keto to benefit. This pure MCT oil provides mental clarity and lasting energy without sugar crashes or coffee jitters. It's premium brain fuel, plain and simple.
We believe quality matters. That’s why our MCT oil goes through triple steam distillation using only 100% organic coconuts. We never use palm oil. This process isolates the powerful C8 and C10 fats while creating a completely tasteless and odourless oil.
Stir it into your morning coffee (hello bulletproof coffee!), blend into smoothies, or drizzle over salads.
MCTs are simply special fats that your body processes differently than regular fats. They have shorter chains (6-12 carbon atoms) compared to the longer chains found in most dietary fats.
You'll find MCTs naturally in foods like coconut oil, palm kernel oil, and dairy products. Our Hunter & Gather MCT Oil comes 100% from sustainably sourced coconuts - nothing else.
We focus on the MCTs that give you the best benefits:
C8 (Caprylic Acid): This is the star of the show. Your body converts it into ketones quickly, giving you fast energy when you need it most.
C10 (Capric Acid): Also good for ketone production, though it works a bit more slowly than C8.
We deliberately minimise or exclude:
C6 (Caproic Acid): While it converts quickly, it often tastes unpleasant and can upset your stomach.
C12 (Lauric Acid): Though abundant in coconut oil, C12 behaves more like a long-chain fat in your body and doesn't produce ketones as efficiently as C8 and C10.
While coconut oil naturally contains some MCTs (about 55-65%, mostly the less efficient C12), our MCT Oil is a concentrated extract of specific, more beneficial MCTs (C8 and C10).
Think of it as the "good bits" extracted and concentrated. This means you get more of the fast-acting, ketone-boosting fatty acids than you would from regular coconut oil. Other oils like olive oil contain mainly long-chain fatty acids, which don't offer the same quick energy benefits.
If you're new to MCT oil, start small. Begin with just 1 teaspoon (5ml) daily and gradually work your way up to 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) as your body adjusts. This gentle approach helps your digestive system adapt comfortably.
Our MCT Oil is brilliantly versatile:
No - we've made sure our MCT Oil is virtually tasteless and odourless. This makes it incredibly easy to add to your favourite drinks and foods without changing how they taste.
MCT oil is brain fuel. One study suggested that MCT oil could supply the brain with up to 8-9% more energy. This can contribute to increased focus and mental clarity. It has also been shown to improve cognitive function in hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) conditions.
Additional research has found that the use of MCTs can even help improve memory problems, including among those with Alzheimer’s disease. A 2018 study found that the use of MCTs while following the ketogenic diet helped patients with Alzheimer’s experience improvements in symptoms.
MCT Oil is in our opinion the purest source of medium chain fats. Our Hunter & Gather MCT Oil i s triple steam distilled for purity and is 100% from coconuts, no palm oil or rapeseed oils are used in the process and there are no bulkers, fillers, or flow agents! Liquid MCT Oil has an oily texture and can be poured into coffee, smoothies, salads, or shakes. Take a look at some recipe ideas here. To create a powdered form of MCT Oil, MCT Oil is spray dried onto a carrier - such as maltodextrin, tapioca flour, corn, or soy lecithin. It is important to understand what carrier is used as this could impact the carbohydrate levels and purity of the product. 👎 These carriers themselves are rarely disclosed on the ingredients list - so be sure to ask if you are unsure.
