Garden of Life_Dr. Formulated Organic MCT Oil - 473 mL 

Designed for athletes looking for a fast burst of energy, those following a paleo or keto diet and everyone looking to support brain health,^† Dr. Formulated MCT Coconut Oil is 100% organic coconut oil and delivers 13g of MCTs—including Caprylic and Capric acids—per serving. MCTs are healthy fatty acids that are easily digested, provide energy and are burned by the body for fuel and energy.^†

We don’t use harsh chemicals for our extraction process. Our MCT Oil is hexane-free, using only Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified coconuts with complete traceability throughout the process.

Many companies use blends of oils—they combine coconut oil with cheaper palm kernel oil. We’re greatly concerned about deforestation and the Orangutans that live in the forests being harmed. There is no reason to add less expensive oil since 100% coconut oil provides all the benefits MCTs have to offer.

Dr. Formulated 100% Organic Coconut MCT Oil gives you “fast fuel for brain and body^†” and is perfect for Paleo and Ketogenic diets.

How do MCTs help with fitness?

MCTs, including coconut oil, are burned by the body for energy, or “fuel,” instead of being stored as fat. Studies in both men and women have been conducted using MCTs and have shown that MCTs increase energy expenditure and raise the metabolic rate. As part of a healthy diet, MCT oil can also help you feel full for longer periods of time—who doesn’t want that?

Why do athletes use MCT Oil?

Looking for that quick burst of energy? MCTs are an especially beneficial supplement for fueling physical exertion, given their high energy density content, rapid rate of absorption and quick metabolic conversion into cellular energy. Additionally, MCTs can be quickly mobilized in the post-exercise recovery phase to rebuild muscles and prevent the breakdown of protein that can occur when the body is putting a maximum demand on the body’s energy reserves.

Why MCT Oil for brain health?

Your brain is largely made up of fatty acids, so you need a steady supply from your diet to feel your best, think clearly, perform well at work and stay sharp well into older age. Medium-chain fats are believed to be one of the most easily digested, utilized and protective fatty acids that exists. According to leading Neurologist Dr. Perlmutter, you can boost the availability of ketones for your brain by simply adding coconut oil or MCT oil to your daily regimen. But to make this effective, carb restriction is a must! “MCT oil not only feeds your brain cells, but also improves your gut health—which is largely connected to cognitive functioning thanks to the “gut-brain connection.”
