LifeSense C8 MCT Oil Keto Friendly

I've tried three different pure C8 oils all from seemingly reputable companies. Quite honestly I didn't notice too much difference between Lifesense and the others: all high performance and clean. But this is what won me over with this brand: - Packaged in HDPE plastic: I was seeking either HDPE or glass. It seems that one other brand of C8 which was packaged in glass I found (which I had considered but not purchased) had terrible lids that deteriorated on contact with the C8 and leaked during shipping according to their customer reviews. Others use PET plastic or plastic pumps inside glass bottles which can still react with C8. - The Lifesense bottle has a lift and peel seal underneath the lid, ensuring freshness and safety for consumption and during shipping - Excellent pouring lid. Thank you for this convenience! In fact, the whole bottle is great with the handle for easy management. - Processed without chemicals, ie., mechanically and with distillation - The cost per ounce is very competitive - Manufactured in the US - Prior to purchase, I had reached out directly to Lifesense to ask for clarity on their extraction process and received a personal reply from Dr. Alvin Berger, one of the cofounders of the company. His response was very concise and he also provided extra documentation and links to his own research, other research and other company links. I truly didn't feel like this was a high pressure sale but a genuine intent to inform I've been using C8 in my coffee for over a month now along with cultured grass-fed butter and have received excellent results in mental clarity especially, increased energy and weight loss. My husband decided to start too just a couple of days ago. He doesn't drink coffee so I prepared it with butter and his favorite mint tea along with some green jasmine tea for a bit of caffeine. He did experience some stomach upset. I attribute it to the green tea as he is particularly sensitive to caffeine, and also perhaps the C8 which I mildly experienced when I started with C8 too. Heed the warning on the label. Lifesense's C8 and Dr Berger have earned my trust and loyalty. I'll be purchasing all of my C8 from here from now on and have already recommended this product to my friends.

Finally, I am not having diarrhea from the MCT OIL. My husband easily tolerated the oil from day one. After wandering down this ketosis rabbit hole my husband and I have both lost weight and are well Keto adapted. We started with a MCT powder but wanted to try a quality C8 oil after listening to an interview with the developer and his story to help his son. We are also looking for any medical improvements particularly for my husband who has Parkinson's. Even taking Levadopa he now feels the effects of a strict keto diet made easier with your oil. Time will tell much more but for now his moderate tremors have lessened. I have just begun to notice a more fluid ability to find the words he wants. So for now we are very happy with this oil. I really appreciate the quality, price and history behind this product. The only suggestion I could give is to possibly offer a smaller spout to pour more easily at least in the beginning when smaller amounts are needed. Go slow! One other suggestion is to use Quest MCT powder as it's good on the go. Best benefit for me with Keto in general is the stop to my insulin jumps all day long. This oil is the key for me.

I do 80+% of my shopping online. Maybe it's easy to find high-quality MCT oil at health food stores and co-ops (I just don't know). But I've found it very difficult to find it online — until now. My Naturopathic Physician recommended Dr. Bernd Friedlander's pharmaceutical grade MCT Oil, but it was discontinued at the site that carried it. I was psyched when I found "KetoMCT"s premium C8 MCT Oil — and psyched it's available on Amazon where I prefer to do most of my shopping. This appears to be just as good (if not better than) Dr. Friedlander's. One of the creators is an internationally renowned nutritionist and lipid biochemist. Sounds like he and his wife searched far and wide in the market for quality C8 MCT and could not find it, so they created it themselves, which they claim is the most most potent MCT on the market. The fact that it's a labor of love for them means a lot to me too. I like supporting small businesses and independent entrepreneurs.

I went 4-stars because I believe it is a quality product, my concern is with the intake of a concentrated MCT like Caprylic acid. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: - Tasteless, easily added to food/drink with minimal flavor change - Large bottle, lasts a long time Cons: - After a cup of bulletproof coffee I often had a fairly bad stomach ache for 30 mins or so. Regular coconut oil doesn't do this to me. - I got really bad anxiety when taking this. It sounds crazy but Google it, I know first hand it's real. - You miss out on some really important MCT's by taking only C8. Check out "The coconut oil miracle" for more info.

The best I've tried without a doubt! The reason this works better than all the others I've tried is because it's almost exclusively c8 (the most ketogenic) of the mct oils and the one that our bodies use most effectively for energy production. C10 is less effective with a portion of the energy (calories) being stored as fat so you're only getting a portion of the benefits. I've read much of what is on ketomct's website and substantiated much of this with future research. I've also listened to the owner on a podcast called ketovangelist / ketogenic athlete. Their ketomct website and the podcasts have ton's of great info. Check out ketogenic bible too. I have no affiliation with any of these, they've simply been helpful for me. Data aside I feel the most invigorated when using this stuff but just like all mct oils start small and work your way up as GI issues (read disaster pants) is imminent if you don't. I mix this with coffee or tea and either full fat coconut milk or heavy whipping cream. By combining with a fat you slow the digestion and increase the time you feel super charged while also minimizing your likely hood of GI issues. From what I've read you can get benefits from this without engaging in a lchf/ ketogenic diet. My experience involves incorporating c8 mct (I've been using ketomct) and a ketogenic diet. I've bought the 3 pack several times saving a few $$. This is also the most economical c8 version I've found which is awesome if you're into saving money too!
