How MCT Oils Work in the Body- What Form is BEST for You? - Thomas DeLauer
There as been a MCT overload as of late. There’s a ton of marketing for it in the keto world, but no real information is being given about the different kinds of MCTs. Most people just think MCTs are one in the same, when, in reality, there are a few different forms of MCTs and each work slightly differently within the body. So let’s see which form of MCTs is best! Enjoy and I'll see you in the comments!

Thank you,you have helped me get over 2 Plato's and i thank you for that took me from 53lbs where i normally get stuck to 108lbs and i am stuck again the last 10lbs will not shift but i am not done yet!!!!!

[@Roozy_Persepolis]

What's the best time to consume MCT when doing a IF ,non-keto diet? How long after breaking a fast do u recommend taking MCT?

[@GabrielaVenegas85]

Onit has MCT oil (C8). I've consuming since I started keto on 9/28/19. I didn't even know what type of carbon chain it was till I saw this video. Thank you for the great info. I'm glad to know that I've been consuming good stuff. It does give me a big cognitive boost.

[@adityaveerwal5893]

Can we consume C8 during fasted state or is it better to consume in eating state

[@royalprince8858]

I'm not sure what you mean that "you don't recommend MTC oils and MTC powder alot"? Do you mean don't recommend us using MTC oil or powder or you meant speaking of brand names?

[@kaligor9252]

You know you have been watching too much Thomas DeLauer when you actually start to understand everything he is talking about.

[@symq]

Kaligor I'd recommend Chris Masterjohn's classes to you, then 😉

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Or... hear me out... you are watching JUST enough 😏

[@mariegonzalez6610]

Lol. You are so right. When I first started watching his vids I had to take a second to absorb everything and now it’s like second nature.

[@charliechan6892]

That's a good thing, knowledge is power

[@arnieslab]

Some people binge Netflix, we binge Thomas videos lol

[@terryknappjr.2233]

Please don’t dumb down the science. You translate it well enough without apologizing for it

[@ThomasDeLauerOfficial]

Thanks. And thanks for watching!

[@evanrichards4251]

He's not dumbing down the science he's just dumb. In his ads he can't use a blender and he thinks bananas make you fat lol. He's either really dumb, or a scam artist, take your pick. And clearly a steroid abuser.

[@ComandaKronikk]

​@@evanrichards4251 One thing I will say about bananas is they certainly make me crave more sugary treats due to the quick insulin spike. This in turn leads to excessive eating. So on their own, they don't make you fat, but it's kind of a cascading effect if you'll permit my saying so :)

[@bunjicarlin1]

I've been intermentent fasting and low-carb "dieting" off and on throughout the last 15 years. Finally, after carefully following Thomas and 3 other very knowledgeable KZbinrs, IF and the ketogenic "diet" are NO longer a diet for me. It is and has become my way of everyday life, as it has drastically changed my life, health, and everyday well-being, wellness, and happiness. ♥️

[@TrainingIsBelieving]

Why?

[@bunjicarlin1]

@TrainingIsBelieving Well for starters Maybe its because what I EAT ......YOU DON'T sh💩t and vice-versa? 🤷🏾‍♂️

I didn’t get the joke 😭

[@Elena-qd2vo]

Never apologize for providing information to help others. I've done more yo-yo diets than I can even remember growing up and my entire system is out of whack from all of it. Knowing information on what something does to my body and how my body works helps so much more to drive a healthy lifestyle than just letting the weight loss industry point you toward the newest miracle diet or solution. You've helped me realize all of the horrible ways I've harmed my body over the years and now I'm finally starting to redeem myself to the body that I've treated rather poorly.

[@evedupont36]

I think most of your followers do follow you BECAUSE you go in depth in all your explanation...stop apologizing for being “too” scientific. That’s what I like that I don’t get from other “expert”! (Sorry if mistakes, I’m for Quebec...)

[@aknmo541]

Eve Dupont I agree

[@craigashton5841]

Real experts don't recommend oil, or ketogenic diets, since the data shows low carb fad diets it kill people..... Don't trust this steroid user.

[@aknmo541]

😂 Please move on to the ADA, Heart Association, or other mandated “healthy diet” ideals sites. Oh, and please learn the real scientific concept proven over and over again called, “RESULTS DON’T LIE”

[@evedupont36]

Craig Ashton just don’t watch his video that’s it!

[@craigashton5841]

@@aknmo541 Results do lie, especially when companies made studies to show false results. Then you have people like Thomas parroting these results. e.g. it's not hard for a company to compare their bad product, with an even worse one, to make it's own bad product look good. Like in the study where they meat with pure coconut oil to make meat look good.

[@glennmeadows1233]

Thomas, Your you tube channel is by far, the most informative channel anywhere. You explain everything clearly and succinctly! Started the Keto Diet about ten days ago with my wife and we are having great results! Thank you for all your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Thomas i love your videos im a huge fan. I would love a video on the effect of synthetic caffeine and breaking down how good or bad energy drinks are for especially with new craze on the bang and reign energy drinks which taste super sweet and have zero calories. They have alot of supplements in them. I wouldnt imagine they are great for you but i would love to hear the science behind it. Anyways thank you for doing what your doing by educating the masses about health and wellness

Thank you for the information. Do you know if MCT is also a “carrier” type oil that would better pull nutrients into the blood 🩸 ?

[@shadownap1]

I use the Fbomb MCT oil packets on the go which is C8 & C10. It very effective getting my ketones. I also love cooking with it. But I use MCT and other days coconut oil. I love them both. Your correct on your information. Keep it up

[@immunegarden5104]

Where do I buy fbomb c8 and c10? Or where can I just buy c8 and c10 mct? Can I buy it as a drink? Please help cause I think it will help me and my mother with health issues. Ty

I was wondering if you could do a video on how to limit glutamine synthetase during a fast. Could you supplement with L-glutamine to limit muscle break down?

Hi Thomas can you do a video on a long chain triglycerides ( caoca butter) and the difference between medium chain triglycerides thx 😊

[@K69Cam]

Hello Tom, Off topic I think I have an idea for you for a video. I started mixing my own pre-work out mixture after watching your video with the pre-work out recipe (beta-alanine, black coffee, Carnitine, H.S.Salt, Citrulline Malate). This recipe btw is awesome. I don't feel sick like other preworkouts made me feel. Anyway I also started using pea protein and I was thinking if there is also a recipe with pure whey isolate or with this pure pea protein to make either proteins even better for us? Like a recipe to add micros to those proteins to make a similar micro/macro mixture like the preworkout recipe? I forget which protein you said was better and for which situations. Also I have a question about Carnitine. Is there a difference between "Carnitine" and Acetyl L-Carnitine? Thanks for all your videos brother!

[@abdulelahkhunji6871]

Dear brother Thomas. D. Though you are making it easy for us to understand, yet it's difficult for some of us specially ' for us as a foreign languages, and I'm one of them,and personally myself, I have to check and dig in Dictionaries to understand some of your words and meanings , hope you consider us as foreigners language.. So if it's possible to make it easier as much as you can. Thanks and appreciate your amazing efforts... 🌹👍🏻🌿👌

Hi Thomas I very much appreciate all your videos... Top Man One of the main reasons me and all my family watch you is down to how Humble you are.... Respect from The UK... Ok so my question dude.. I have a mixed MCT oil Blend is C8 60% C10 38% C12, 2% I mix half teaspoon of this in the morning coffee with my cacao... can't add coconut oil or ghee or butter... just can't handle the taste or how I feel after.... Is this effective as a all round, antifungal, increase of ketone, and increased brain function.. Thanks

[@imadetheuniverse4fun]

I've started using the Perfect Keto MCT Oil powder for creamer and it irritates my throat a lot. After some research, I'm seeing that this effect is seen in a small percentage of people. I've heard that you can try mixing the MCT Oil powder with Coconut oil to help. Do you have any knowledge or info of this?

[@imeldomarcos4126]

What is better MCT oil or MCT powder for digestion and overall wellness?

[@lorraine113]

My fast ends in the morning and I workout before my fast ends. I drink my mct at 5:00 with water. My question is do you think is better to use it at the end of my fast or before starting my fast again?

[@chadaitken5476]

Would the C8 then be good for the transition period to ketosis when some feel the effects of hyperglycemia? Would the C8 ketones raise the level of blood sugar/ketones so we wouldn’t feel that light headed transition?

[@my-yt-inputs2580]

Great video. I pretty much switched to coconut oil over MCT oil a long time ago. Although I had not noticed the MCT oil I do use contains all three, C8, C10 and C12. Coconut oil is much cheaper. My ONE question Thomas....when are you going to fix that curtain rod over the door in the background? ;) Been noticing that for weeks now.

[@Lindsoiderf]

I have psorisasis that started from a keto diet. it got progressively worse from 3-6 months on keto ultimately I had to stop and not all of it went away. I like keto diets and I just started one to try again, I already feel like it's getting worse. There is some study in mice from the Journal of Investigative Dermatology that said perhaps it is MCTs that can cause or make worse certain kinds of psoriasis. Does this make any sense to you? Have you heard of others on keto diets needing to not use mcts for their skin? would there be a kind that wouldn't affect this?

I get my coffee at my local donut store the coffee comes in a styrofoam cup. the oil desolves the styrofoam into the coffee. So good luck with that. The way I found out was when a hole appeared in the cup. Looking inside I saw where the coffee at the surface had eroded the styrofoam! So who knows what I have done to my body.

[@terrahara3942]

Avoid styrofoam products with all heated fats, and never place styrofoam in microwave (I made mistake years ago, reheating cheesy pizza slice on a styro plate... bite into part of pizza that had stryo melt to the cheese. Was horrified by what occurred, felt awful... and toxic taste was immediate! 😖 Also not a renewable source, and should be banned as food containers, imho!! Bring your own safe mug from home, or find a new local for coffee. Remember a time when Mickey-D's used styrofoam clam-shells to package their larger greasy 🍔 🍔... 😬
