Fatty acid profile
100% MCT oil from organic coconut: about 0.5% C6 (caproic acid), 53% C8 (caprylic acid), 45% C10 (capric acid), 1.5% C12 (lauric acid). Certified organic, with no palm oil, additives, colourings or preservatives.
How to use it & recipe ideas
The most popular use is bulletproof coffee: blend 1–2 tablespoons of MCT oil into hot coffee with a blender or milk frother for a creamy, energising drink. It can also be added to smoothies, dressings, bowls, or cold and lukewarm dishes. Start with a small dose (1 teaspoon) and gradually increase to 1–2 tablespoons a day to let your digestive system adjust. Do not heat above 160°C.
MCT oil and the ketogenic diet
MCT oil has become a staple of the ketogenic diet, a low-carb, high-fat approach aiming to place the body in ketosis. MCT oil speeds this process by supplying fatty acids the liver can directly convert into ketone bodies, making ketosis easier to reach and maintain, even with a minor carb slip-up — a valuable ally for keto beginners.
MCT oil vs. standard coconut oil
Standard coconut oil contains about 60% lauric acid (C12), a medium-chain fatty acid that partly behaves like a long-chain fat in the body. Amanprana’s MCT oil is concentrated in C8 (53%) and C10 (45%), the two MCTs converted fastest into ketone bodies — making it more effective for rapid energy and ketosis. It also stays liquid at room temperature, unlike coconut oil, which solidifies below 25°C.
How to use & precautions
Generally well tolerated, but introducing it too quickly can cause temporary digestive discomfort (bloating, cramps) — start small and increase gradually.
Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant, breastfeeding or with a liver condition. Store at room temperature away from direct light. Do not heat above 160°C.
Frequently asked questions
Does this contain palm oil?
No — made exclusively from organic coconut, with absolutely no palm oil, reflecting Amanprana’s strong ethical and environmental commitment.
How long does a 500ml bottle last?
At one tablespoon (about 15ml) a day, the bottle lasts about 33 days; at two tablespoons a day, about 16 days.
Can I cook with MCT oil?
Yes, but avoid heating above 160°C — it’s unsuitable for frying or high-heat cooking, but works perfectly in lukewarm dishes, dressings, sauces, smoothies and bulletproof coffee.
