What do y'all think about using this? http://www.swansonvitamins.com/buried-treasure-coconut-oil-mct-16-fl-oz-liquid
I feel it's missing the most important fatty acid that makes up the MCT content in coconut oil: Lauric acid. I've gone completely off the pure MCT in bottles because of this and prefer to just use coconut oil for everything. Simple article that I feel does a good job talking about it, http://healthimpactnews.com/2013/is-liquid-coconut-oil-that-stays-liquid-in-your-refrigerator-real-coconut-oil/.
Isn't that just more expensive than the Now Foods MCT Oil? Note the 16oz vs 32oz; $9.89 vs $17.49 https://www.swansonvitamins.com/now-foods-mct-oil-32-fl-oz-liquid(though this too used to be @ $14.99)15mLCaprylic Acid (C8:0) 7.8g Capric Acid (C10:0) 6.2 gThat Burried Treasure one for same 15mL (5mL on serving info)Caprylic Acid (C 8:0) 7.8gCapric Acid (C 10:0) 6.3g
Spatz, cool! I appreciate that article. I had saw this while skimming through that site and thought it was interesting, because it was given to me by a co-worker. Personally I'd rather use coconut oil when cooking, and sometimes as part of the AM Shake. The clumps are irritating (at times), but never a huge issue. I figured something was fishy about using “liquid” coconut oil. I still have two 32oz containers of MCT Oil that I only use for Pre-Workout.AC, yeah it's more expensive per ounce. I was given it, and curious to whether or not it's worth using.
