Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of fat that are digested and absorbed more rapidly than many other dietary fats, making them a readily available source of energy for the body.
Our True MCT Oil is made from 100% sustainably sourced coconuts, never palm oil. It is produced using steam distillation and gentle hydrolysis to create a balanced blend of C8 (60%) and C10 (40%) MCTs.

A closer look
Say goodbye to fat free fads
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.
Easy to use
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.
Your MCT ritual
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.
100% coconuts - nothing else
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.
What is C8/C10?
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.
Is there a limit to how much I should consume in a day?
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.
How is MCT different to coconut oil?
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.
What time of day is best to consume True MCT Oil?
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.
IS IT WORTHWHILE USING MCT IN BETWEEN MEALS?
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.
WHY DOESN’T TRUE MCT OIL BREAK KETOSIS?
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.
Who might MCT oil not be suitable for?
As with any supplement, individual responses vary; if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or under medical supervision, consult your healthcare professional before use.
MCT oil may not suit everyone, particularly:
Those with sensitive digestion - start low and introduce gradually, whilst listening to body's response.
Those with a history of severe hormonal acne - introduce gradually, monitor your skin and stop if breakouts worsen.
Anyone with a known coconut allergy - do not use this product and speak to your GP or allergy specialist.
