Here is a summary of the key points: - MCT oil stands for medium-chain triglyceride oil. It contains fatty acids from coconut and palm kernel oils that have medium chain lengths of 6-12 carbon atoms. - The best MCT for ketogenic effects is caprylic acid (C8), followed by capric acid (C10). Caprylic acid has the strongest ketogenic effect. Coconut oil contains mostly lauric acid (C12) which does not have ketogenic effects. - When consumed, MCTs are absorbed directly into the liver and converted into ketone bodies. This is different than other fats which enter the lymphatic system first. - Ketones produced from MCTs signal mitochondria to produce more of themselves (mitogenesis) and uncouple, wasting energy as heat. This protects and repairs mitochondria. - MCTs can induce ketosis even when carbohydrates are consumed, making them useful for various diets or conditions requiring ketones like epilepsy. - Start with 1 teaspoon of MCT oil and increase slowly, as women can be more sensitive to side effects like nausea. Powders may be better tolerated. - MCT oil benefits brain health and can be useful for those with the APOE4 Alzheimer's gene. It is preferred over coconut oil for these individuals. - When possible, mix MCT oil with healthy fats like olive oil for additional benefits from polyphenols. Start slowly to avoid intolerance.
Not only the people in Papua New Guinea, but also my great grand mother, her 3 daughters and 2 sons lived into their 90's up to 100 years old. They were high consumers of coconut oil and other coconut products. And they were among the hardest (physical) workers you will ever know. In recent years I have been consuming coconut oil regularly. So far, despite a couple lousy doctors I am up to 82+ with older sisters and brother. Coconut is good stuff.

Best explanation I've heard and I've done a ton of research. My wife and I are up to a tablespoon per day and we started out with a teaspoon per day for about a week. No side effects. This was a very impressive video. I subbed half way through. Thank you Doctor.
I use a tablespoon of MCT pure C8 for breakfast in a chocho protein drink with unsweetened coconut milk. In it I include a teaspoon of turmeric with some black pepper, ground ginger, ground clove, and cinnamon. It is very filling and energizing. I would have it with some walnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, three Brazilian nuts, and an avocado. Very simple breakfast that helps me get going without being weighed down.
I'd like to buy coconut milk to make coconut milk ice cream but I've heard that coconut milk is not heart healthy because it's too high in saturated fat.

I have been using VCO over 15 years and in around the last 5 years I also started using chia seeds, turmeric and mushrooms that come in vitamin form.

Growing up in the 60's & 70's, there was no discussions on nutrition, so all we did was have normal breakfast, lunch & dinner, and that's how we lived.... My grandmother (on my side) lived to 95... and neither of them spoke of longevity tricks other than telling us to NOT smoke or do drugs and to NOT drink too much alcohol, but that's about it... Well, I took their advice as I grew up to adulthood, so I NEVER took drugs or smoked, and I rarely drink alcohol at maybe 1 drink a month or less because I just don't like the dizzy feeling even after 1 drink, so I avoid alcohol.... So during the 80's & 90's, I just never entertained all this nutrition science stuff and just lived life normally, but I was aware of eating healthy & exercising, so I did, but sure, I ate unhealthy things too... I guess it just wasn't a factor so long as I looked & felt good.... Well, here we are in 2024 and I'm turning 60 years old in August, and I will say that I'm FINALLY taking in all this advice.
This was all before the food industry declared war on the people with processed, ultra processed and refined foods. It also was a time before the infusion of seed oils into everything. Back then (I grew up in the 1950's) food was really food and not GMO Franken food.

Recently started MCT oil… easy to take! It’s not a thick oil like mineral oil (no gagging) & has absolutely no taste or smell. Began slowly @ 1 tsp for a week, 2 tsps for a week & then 1 Tbsp daily.
I am so glad I discovered your channel Dr G!!! Finally an absolute pro who not only dives into all the pro's and cons but also thoroughly talks through how to start out on it... and also how not to! On so many of the other channels I go straight to Comments after the video to hopefully learn from other followers how they are taking it. Extremely grateful 🙏🏻
MCT oil (c8) has returned my life to me. So much energy. I was always exhausted and having seizures, about 15-30/year. I also had panic attacks. I have not had a seizure in almost 5 months and I have not had a panic attack in 9 months. I'm on the keto diet as well but the seizures reduced a lot before I started the diet. I'm not very strict with the diet either. I don't worry about carbs, just generally eat low-carb foods with little tastes of higher-carb foods here and there.
I pour a teaspoon of mct oil and a tablespoon of olive oil into a shot glass, and take it to the head, every morning. Then I take my lipid soluble supplements: CoQ10, Vitamin D3, K2 with K7, and Lutein. I am a woman, and haven’t had any issues with mct oil yet. Over time, I will increase the amount of mct oil in the shot glass.
Mitochondrial uncoupling is a process that occurs when a portion of the proton gradient produced by mitochondrial respiration is not used to create ATP synthesis. Instead, the proton gradient is dissipated as heat. This process is a natural part of body temperature regulation in mammals.
Thanks for this update and reminder. I was wondering this morning if I can take Olive Oil together with my MCT 0il C8, C10. Answered my questions to what MCT oils levels do their job with mitochondria uncupling AND is it ok to take olive oil with them too. Dr Gundry's answer is yes it's ok to have a tablespoon of coldpressed organic olive oil with a tablespoon or two of MCT Oils C8, C10 ONLY. The other MCT Oils DO NOT actively work together mitochondria uncupling KNOR DO NOT build Ketones. He explains how and why. A good handy followup to ASEA Redox Molecules REDOX 5 previous post today.
And a good amount of the oil is wasted this way. I personally take various oils by the spoon then wash the could be(depending on the oil) unpleasant taste with water.
I've been using MCT oil every now and then I've also been a chainsmoker for the past 46 years it was very hard for me to quit when I finally kicked the habit i was so congested all the time I couldn't breathe I will never start smoking again
Dr. Gundry i am a big fan of your work and the knowledge is 1st class ,thank you for your guidance in preventive medicine , i belive you truly do a lot of good for the common people and other medical practioneers should take notice.
I did suffer a very upset stomach, not the point of nausea, but I literally had to run to the bathroom and stayed there for quite some time. I was ignorant in trying MCT for the first time and paid the price. I do a tsp for a couple of weeks.
I wonder if goat butter and cheese can work well as well? I live in the Netherlands and we can buy affordable milk and butter from goats. Your thoughts?
@@mariuszp4530HI there I started losing weight with little change in my diet,I stopped using it trying something else that was a bad choice so I'm back on Gundry MCT POWDER, but when I'm finished with his powder I will try and buy PURE MCT OIL . GOD BLESS I heard COSTCO SELLS IT.
I've been buying/using your product MCT Wellness and there is no indication on the label or website which form of MCT is in it! Is it C8, C10 or C12? I called your customer service to inquire (which I shouldn't have to according to the information you provide in this video) and they were unable to answer the question. I don't appreciate this double standard Dr G!
MCT oils are also said to be antibacterial? And because they don't need a carrier to get through the cell wall, they can pass through mucus. Won't this harm gut bacteria? And thus violate their homeostasis.
He confused you. Coconuts have many types of medium chain triglycerides. Some are beneficial. Some are suspect. You need to discern which ones are best to consume.
He didn’t explain how coconut oil is composed of a multitude of medium chain triglycerides, including C8 & C12. Unfortunately if you have not been informed before this video about MCTs, then he created confusion among the newbies.
I bought and tried MTC, I did not realize it could cause upset stomach and balloting, I was in a lot of pain the two days I tried it. I waited a few days and tried it again later in the day instead of in the morning and it happened again. Now I have a quart and I can't consume it. Now I can use coconut oil and have not noticed it to upset my stomach, although I do not use it in my coffee.
@@vivianafelipe5204 I already did...twice, but someone keeps deleting my response. I suspect Gundry doesn't like people promoting other brands on his videos.
Thank you so much Dr I am 73 doing intermittent fasting since a year lost 15 kg and was wondering what is Mct oil ,I live in Japan and never heard about it as I can’t read Japanese 😃
MCT especially C8, bypasses liver and goes directly to your brain. The brain needs fat to function. I would recommend the MCT but use the EVO for cooking or salads. Use both.
You speak of the harmful effect of saturated fat on your APOE4 gene patients: well, the very good quality powdered MCT oil I use with C8 and C10, also says contains 35% saturated fat! So, what gives here? Is there some brand of MCT powder out there with ONLY C8 or C8/C10 without sat. fat? Please advise us. Thanks Doc. Love your books and podcasts.
Dr. Gundry, my daughter is vegan and has a high stress job. Her hair has thinned quite a bit. Is there something she can take to help hair? She had a child 2.5 yrs ago and is 37.
Dear dr Gundry , you are my Hero ! Can you please tell me how to eat quickly garlic to not get a stomach pain ? Because I squeeze it en drink al together with one glass water , or with one tablespoon with olive oil but I get little pain and brand 🔥 , 🙏🏻❤️
I usually just take a teaspoon or so of MCT. I find nothing offensive about it. Sometimes get a tiny hit of coconut on a clean palate but I love coconut which I don't get much anymore.
Question: I would like to use it more often, but MTC leaks out of me within hours and ruins bedding and clothing. Are there other ways to incorporate it into food, that will not leak out like that? I've just been adding to salad dressing and squirming a teaspoon here and there.😮
To Dr. Gundry, what happens if I mix olive oil in apple cider vinegar and shake the container a lot and the olive oil rises to the top? I was 🤔 thinking if I take that olive oil out of the container after I do that, it should have polyphenols from the apple cider vinegar right? Or is it the other way around and the apple cider vinegar has the olive oils polyphenols? And what if I replace the apple cider vinegar with mct oil what happens?! -Sneak King
I believe you said don't eat grapes because it's better to drink wine because the sugar is gone. You also said mangos have as much sugar as three candy bars. I disagree. Unprocessed food, mangos, is always better than your processed food, candy bars. Are you sure about your advice,
Coconut oil vs MCT on ketone bodies? is it more effective, seen mixed results. Maybe some respond better to the fractionated oil than the standard oil.
I’m able to get my blood ketone levels up with regular coconut oil and find I can eat a lot more of if than I can of MCT oil. I think it’s a little contradictory to push a whole-foods diet but recommend a refined oil like MCT.
I always had backache, nothing helped, physio didn't help, but I started taking mct oil everyday and I don't know if that did the trick but no backache anymore, my backache is caused by osteoarthritis, I would love to know if it's the mct oil??
Hi Dr Gundry, my brother is 57 and found out he has a blood disease that causes over production of red blood cells. Thickening of the blood. What do you recommend food wise or supplements that can help reverse or stabilize his disease. Thank you, I’m trying to help him. I have him drinking dandelion tea and I’ve read milk thistle is good too.
Pls explain the (seeming contradiction) of the ppl consuming high amts of coconuts and their long-life (via the benefits of coconuts' MCT's)...yet saying that the coconuts don't have the "good" MCT oil ie the C8/C10.

I've been buying/using your product MCT Wellness and there is no indication on the label or website which form of MCT is in it! Is it C8, C10 or C12? I called your customer service to inquire (which I shouldn't have to according to the information you provide in this video) and they were unable to answer the question. I don't appreciate this double standard Dr G!
Wow that’s totally disturbing
Not even on his labels
Unreal
That sounds crazy.
That is a turn off. Not trustworthy!
I noticed the website description has been changed to reflect that it is C8. Would’ve been nice to get a response here tho.
i drink 70-100 ml per day on a ketogenic diet. my ketones are through the roof!
Would like to read about it. Do you have an article? Really don't understand w/o further explanation.
And he has entire books
Good video!
Hi Dr. G. Have been using mct oil Sr brand from Costco. Says from coconut oil but adds that it has c8 9 g and c10 4.7 g. I'm confused
That's fine
Yes, I believe most MCT oil is derived from coconuts
All these products will be prohibitively expensive given constant increase in prices. Can't hardly afford organic food.
I just consume less. Cut unneeded items. Health first.
Exactly. Better to tell us what foods we can consume that have MCTs
Less expensive in long run than snacks, processed foods. Your health more important if you want to remain healthy and reach 80 like I am...
MCT oils are also said to be antibacterial? And because they don't need a carrier to get through the cell wall, they can pass through mucus. Won't this harm gut bacteria? And thus violate their homeostasis.
Dr Gundry, thank you for this video.
Fabulous information, really appreciated and enjoyed the video.
Why is Dr. Gundry's C8 MCT oil powder derived from coconuts when he said multiple times coconut was C12 and had No Ketogenic effect?
He confused you. Coconuts have many types of medium chain triglycerides. Some are beneficial. Some are suspect. You need to discern which ones are best to consume.
He didn’t explain how coconut oil is composed of a multitude of medium chain triglycerides, including C8 & C12. Unfortunately if you have not been informed before this video about MCTs, then he created confusion among the newbies.
I bought and tried MTC, I did not realize it could cause upset stomach and balloting, I was in a lot of pain the two days I tried it. I waited a few days and tried it again later in the day instead of in the morning and it happened again. Now I have a quart and I can't consume it.
Now I can use coconut oil and have not noticed it to upset my stomach, although I do not use it in my coffee.
I didn't have any issues though ...
C12 has been shown to have antiviral effects, so I use an organic coconut derived MCT oil that contains C8 C10 and a little C12.
Can you please share the brand?
@@michellel1718 Sports Research
Please can you share the brand?
@@vivianafelipe5204 I already did...twice, but someone keeps deleting my response. I suspect Gundry doesn't like people promoting other brands on his videos.
Where is link to your online store?
Just start small, not to be gross but it can cause intestinal issues and diarrhea until you get used to it. Just a FYI
Too late for me, I started with a tablespoon....I can confirm what you say!
Thank you so much Dr I am 73 doing intermittent fasting since a year lost 15 kg and was wondering what is Mct oil ,I live in Japan and never heard about it as I can’t read Japanese 😃
I started adding to my coffee. Really helped.
The number one American doctor. ❤ 🙏🏻
Can you cook with it mixed with EVOO? What does heat do?
Love the tie with the glasses! (The info is so good too!😊)
So if you had to choose:
Olive oil extra virgin cold pressed Ór :
MCT OIL?
Olive oil when want flavor
Why choose. Do both.
MCT especially C8, bypasses liver and goes directly to your brain. The brain needs fat to function. I would recommend the MCT but use the EVO for cooking or salads. Use both.
You speak of the harmful effect of saturated fat on your APOE4 gene patients: well, the very good quality powdered MCT oil I use with C8 and C10, also says contains 35% saturated fat! So, what gives here? Is there some brand of MCT powder out there with ONLY C8 or C8/C10 without sat. fat? Please advise us. Thanks Doc. Love your books and podcasts.
Another fantastic, educational video Dr.G!! ❤❤
Very informative video on MCT oil. Thank you very much.
Excellent presentation
Doesn't the body make all the glucose the body needs as needed when no glucose is eaten? Why did you say ketones are a lousy source of fuel?
@rshfn44
while getting my 3 tablespoons a day should I actually allow a little carbs in my diet rather than staying low on carbs ?
Which MCT powder oil to get??
Dr. Gundry, my daughter is vegan and has a high stress job. Her hair has thinned quite a bit. Is there something she can take to help hair? She had a child 2.5 yrs ago and is 37.
Hello 👋Beautiful Lady 🌹.How are you and the weather condition ?
Use caster oil for hair loss
Great information👍
I use to use by twin lab..was great. Now 65 I don't use. Think I might try again.
C6 the best yet aromatic, C8 good enough and widely available
Dear dr Gundry , you are my Hero ! Can you please tell me how to eat quickly garlic to not get a stomach pain ? Because I squeeze it en drink al together with one glass water , or with one tablespoon with olive oil but I get little pain and brand 🔥 , 🙏🏻❤️
Have with honey and chase with water
I swallow the crushed raw garlic with water. If the garlic is still big to swallow I bite it into small pieces.
Thank you Dr. Gundry ❤
So if coconut oil, C8 and 10 is not the best source of MCT’s what are the top five things to eat for getting MCT into us?
At 16:10 - how to find quality MCT oil - I experienced this %100, found a pure c8 powder and all the gi distress was gone
I usually just take a teaspoon or so of MCT. I find nothing offensive about it. Sometimes get a tiny hit of coconut on a clean palate but I love coconut which I don't get much anymore.
Dr Gundry which MCT oil is the best for ketones ATP brain function ?
Thank you can you tell me where you buy your eye glass frames?? Yours RB
What about GHEE? Is this a good source of MCT?
So much nutrition advice is aimed at fat reduction. Does anyone advise about weight gain options?
lots of nuts trail mix, dairy, ligma balls, low homocystine, green bannanas, cumin. kumquat, large horseradish,
Thanks for the advice. @@daforetoldplaya
For sure some TBones 🥩
I need help in that area also. Feel ok aside from gas & bloating but not gaining weight. Too skinny, no muscle.
Thank you. Cris @@daforetoldplaya
Question: I would like to use it more often, but MTC leaks out of me within hours and ruins bedding and clothing. Are there other ways to incorporate it into food, that will not leak out like that? I've just been adding to salad dressing and squirming a teaspoon here and there.😮
Copra is also one of the words for coconuts in some languages in SEA
To Dr. Gundry, what happens if I mix olive oil in apple cider vinegar and shake the container a lot and the olive oil rises to the top? I was 🤔 thinking if I take that olive oil out of the container after I do that, it should have polyphenols from the apple cider vinegar right? Or is it the other way around and the apple cider vinegar has the olive oils polyphenols? And what if I replace the apple cider vinegar with mct oil what happens?!

I believe you said don't eat grapes because it's better to drink wine because the sugar is gone. You also said mangos have as much sugar as three candy bars. I disagree. Unprocessed food, mangos, is always better than your processed food, candy bars. Are you sure about your advice,
I use both oils in a sesmie seed treat that i make.....sugar free as well.
How much does it take per day and where to buy??
Coconut oil vs MCT on ketone bodies? is it more effective, seen mixed results. Maybe some respond better to the fractionated oil than the standard oil.
I’m able to get my blood ketone levels up with regular coconut oil and find I can eat a lot more of if than I can of MCT oil. I think it’s a little contradictory to push a whole-foods diet but recommend a refined oil like MCT.
Will it bother my system because I don’t have a gallbladder? Will it raise my LDL or clog my arteries?
I always had backache, nothing helped, physio didn't help, but I started taking mct oil everyday and I don't know if that did the trick but no backache anymore, my backache is caused by osteoarthritis, I would love to know if it's the mct oil??
Hi Dr Gundry, my brother is 57 and found out he has a blood disease that causes over production of red blood cells. Thickening of the blood. What do you recommend food wise or supplements that can help reverse or stabilize his disease. Thank you, I’m trying to help him. I have him drinking dandelion tea and I’ve read milk thistle is good too.
Hello 👋Beautiful Lady 🌹..How are you and the weather condition like ?
Milk thistle is beneficial to the liver. Blessings to you 🙏
Pls explain the (seeming contradiction) of the ppl consuming high amts of coconuts and their long-life (via the benefits of coconuts' MCT's)...yet saying that the coconuts don't have the "good" MCT oil ie the C8/C10.
"coconut oil not ketogenic" - what?
It is
Dr Gundry, you look Terrific 😊 Gifted Dr. kind and gentle man!!! Lovely wife agrees, I’m sure 😊
Does MCT oil raise cholesterol level especially LDL
I have 2 copies of the APOe4 gene. First time seeing ths information anywhere. Thank you.
