Gone are the days of fat-free diets - thankfully - as we now recognise the essential role fats play in our health. Dietary fats support hormone production, brain function, nutrient absorption, and cellular health. Healthy fats are key for energy and well-being, making a balanced intake vital for overall health.
True MCT oil is a versatile, flavourless liquid at room temperature, making it perfect for everyday recipes. Blend into coffee, hot drinks, smoothies, or sauces, or use it in dressings or homemade granola for a simple, clean nutritional upgrade.
The beauty of MCT oil is that it can be used at various times for optimal benefits. Whether that’s 30 minutes before a workout for sustained energy, during a fast to support fat burning, or before mentally demanding tasks like an important work meeting for enhanced focus and brain energy. A brilliantly versatile addition to any routine.
We use 100% coconuts, never palm oil, an eco-friendlier and more sustainable choice. Palm oil production leads to deforestation and endangers wildlife, while coconut-derived MCT oil offers higher purity and a superior health profile, rich in efficient MCTs like caprylic and capric acids - perfect for clean energy and overall wellness.
True MCT oil is made using pure steam distillation and gentle hydrolysis to yield C8 (60%) and C10 (40%) MCTs. These shorter-chain fats are favoured for their easy digestion and efficient energy conversion. C8 and C10 are also known for their strong antibacterial and antifungal properties.
MCTs are easily digested fats that are easily digested and rapidly absorbed by the body and quickly used as a source of energy. It works brilliantly as a mid-afternoon pick me up, a brain boost for extra focus or pre-workout fuel.
If you are fasting, true MCT oil provides the body, muscles and brain with an energy supply which helps to curb hunger, sustain alertness, energy, mindset and physical performance. By blending True MCT into either of our blends you add another layer of fuel to your day. You gain all the nourishing benefits of the hydrolysed collagen with the fuel and ketogenic potential of MCT. In the case of the Coffee + Collagen, Matcha + Collagen and Cacao + Collagen it could be that when the caffeine wears off, the MCT oils may still have you covered.
Due to the potency of this product, we recommend starting on 5ml per day and increasing your dose slowly, not exceeding four teaspoons per day. Available in individual sachets and a 500ml glass bottle.
MCT comprises only the key medium chain fats C8 and C10, which are readily converted into energy. As a general guide you would need to take 6 tablespoons of coconut oil to gain the same amount of those helpful C8 and C10 medium chain triglycerides found in one tablespoon of MCT.
You can take True MCT oil at any time of day. If you're looking for energy throughout the day, it’s ideal to take it in the morning. However, we would encourage you to be mindful of the amount you take into the evening to avoid any sleep disturbances.
Yes, a tablespoon or more of True MCT is useful between meals during your eating window, as this could help generate a feeling of satiety, distracting you from unhealthy snacks and may also help to bolster energy until your next mealtime. This is one of the reasons why MCT oil is so popular with some endurance athletes, who carry MCT oil on their long rides and runs.
There are three things that tend to break a fast – total calories, carbohydrates and sugar. It’s generally considered that consuming fewer than 50 calories is unlikely to break a fast. So adding just 1 tsp of MCT oil (which contains 42 kcal, no carbs and zero sugar) to coffee, herbal tea or water is likely to support your fast and support ketosis. When consuming more than 1 tsp of MCT oil, you go beyond 50 kcal so you typically break your fast. However, the body is still kept busy converting those extra MCT oils into ketones which continue to support ketosis. Fat fasting is a technique that many keto dieters use to facilitate transitioning into ketosis faster and to help promote weight management. Some types of ketogenic and bulletproof diets suggest adding up to 1-2 tablespoons (or even up to 4 tbsp) of MCT oil to your morning coffee providing 126-252 kcal (or up to 504 kcal), a level at which fasting is likely to be broken, but ketosis continues.
As with any supplement, individual responses vary; if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or under medical supervision, consult your healthcare professional before use.

"I have been using as an appetite suppressant for my fasting days with great success. Its basically untastable in coffee, hurrah! I would recommend starting off little and often and building up to the 10ml over months rather than weeks though - it can be a bit tough on the tummy. But I'm here for more!"
"This certainly gives me lots of energy to do my early morning workouts. It’s very pleasant to take, no real taste but a lovely silky texture not greasy at all. I take mine neat but I have heard you can mix it in coffee or use as a salad dressing (but don’t cook with it). I won’t be without this now."
"This took a bit of getting used to but with advice from A&B I now have it in my morning smoothie not in my coffee. I find it helps keep those pesky cravings totally at bay. It’s worth starting on a small amount & building up but now I don’t notice it at all! It’s become a regular in my subscription"
"Never thought I would be one for succumbing to MCT oil, especially with all the other supplements available for energy and brain fog, but I’m so glad I found it. Bought with the intention of aiding my recovery from illness and reducing symptoms. I use a small amount in my coffee when needed but the protein ball recipe which uses this is the real game changer. Not only do they taste delicious but I actually feel the sensation in my face and body that I’m being awoken. These will now be a staple in my house and are a great emergency pick me up for when hunger is shouting out."
"I'm impressed. I didn't start out with many expectations of whether it would help. Honestly I have so much more energy now My tummy took a little while to adjust but I started with small amounts and worked up to full recommended dose. Delivery a little slow and I find it's a little expensive but subscribing does bring the price down."
"10ml a day and my menopausal brain fog is blown away"
"Love this product"
"I pour this oil onto my breakfast each morning. I take it to help me feel full up and to hopefully help regulate my blood sugar levels a bit. It is easy to use and having it on subscription means I have it readily available. It is pricier than some competitor oils but I am happy that I am getting a quality pure product."
"I have been taking this for about four weeks now and I definitely have more energy and a clearer head."
"Love the oil, especially for my Bulletproof Coofee! It’s really great! On the nost so good side, I really struggle with the container - please, please add a drip as I loose a lot of it when I try to pour."
