Here is a summary of the key points: - MCT oil stands for medium-chain triglyceride oil. It contains fatty acids from coconut and palm kernel oils that have medium chain lengths of 6-12 carbon atoms. - The best MCT for ketogenic effects is caprylic acid (C8), followed by capric acid (C10). Caprylic acid has the strongest ketogenic effect. Coconut oil contains mostly lauric acid (C12) which does not have ketogenic effects. - When consumed, MCTs are absorbed directly into the liver and converted into ketone bodies. This is different than other fats which enter the lymphatic system first. - Ketones produced from MCTs signal mitochondria to produce more of themselves (mitogenesis) and uncouple, wasting energy as heat. This protects and repairs mitochondria. - MCTs can induce ketosis even when carbohydrates are consumed, making them useful for various diets or conditions requiring ketones like epilepsy. - Start with 1 teaspoon of MCT oil and increase slowly, as women can be more sensitive to side effects like nausea. Powders may be better tolerated. - MCT oil benefits brain health and can be useful for those with the APOE4 Alzheimer's gene. It is preferred over coconut oil for these individuals. - When possible, mix MCT oil with healthy fats like olive oil for additional benefits from polyphenols. Start slowly to avoid intolerance.
Muchas gracias. Thank you
Thank you.

I followed your recommendation and was reminded a bit of Ben Shapiro.
seriously-he talks sooo slow😂
Not only the people in Papua New Guinea, but also my great grand mother, her 3 daughters and 2 sons lived into their 90's up to 100 years old. They were high consumers of coconut oil and other coconut products. And they were among the hardest (physical) workers you will ever know. In recent years I have been consuming coconut oil regularly. So far, despite a couple lousy doctors I am up to 82+ with older sisters and brother. Coconut is good stuff.
Except that it raises cholesterol in some people.
Do you know what raises cholesterol in all people? Cholesterol made by your own liver@@winston12364
It tends to promote a favorable HDL to LDL ratio by raising the HDL. If your LDL is less than 3x your HDL, you are doing well. 2x would be better.
CHOLESTEROL IS HEATHY!!! IT IS NEEDED BY THE BODY TO MAKE HORMONES NATURALLY. OUR BODIES MAKE MORE OR LESS REGULATING OUR NEEDS. IT BALANCES HDL X LDL. CUTTING CHOLESTEROL FROM DIETARY FOODS WILL NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE YOUR BODY WILL MANAGE TO MAKE MORE OR LESS AT WILL. THAT IS WHY CHOLESTEROL LOWERING DRUGS NEVER WORKED AND NEVER WILL AND WILL MAKE SICK IN OTHER WAYS.@@winston12364
COCONUT AND COCONUT PRODUCTS (NATURAL WITHOUT ADDING NOR TAKING ANYTHING FROM IT) IT IS VERY HEALTHY AND WILL BENEFIT US IN MANY CASES. IT HAS A BIG DIFFERENT CHEMISTRY AND NUTRITIONAL VALUE AND YEARS AGO THE DOCTORS, BIG-PHARMA, SCHOOL OF MEDICINES FOUND OUT THEY TRIED EVERYTHING TO BAN IT FROM THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE US BY SPREADING THAT IS BAD FOR HUMANS (BIG LIE). INSTEAD THEY PROMOTED HEART DEBILITATING PLANT AND SEED OILS, HYDROGENATED AND MARGARINE, CRISCO AND SO ON. I CAN NOT BELIEVE LOTS OF PEOPLE STILL BELIEVE THIS CRAP PROPAGANDAS FROM FDA,CDC,ETC.
I put a squirt of MCT oil in my morning coffee, it sounded weird before I first tried it but I immediately found out that no negative taste or texture issue at all.
I find it annoyingly oily! Of course, it is an oil! I do it anyway.
@@annahayes1007If you put your coffee in a nutribulit add butter/mct oil it blends in and makes a lovely creamy coffee.
@annahayes1007 I blend it 2 seconds and it looks like a latte
Add some Kerry Gold butter to it, blend it, and you'll have a very tasty creamy bullet proof coffee.
I have been sick for years. Been to many doctors, some even told me to go home and google how to treat my illnesses. Thank God for you Dr because I have been living my best life now and feeling better now at 52 then I felt in my early thirties. I thought I was going to be disabled by the time I reached 40.
I use a tablespoon of MCT pure C8 for breakfast in a chocho protein drink with unsweetened coconut milk. In it I include a teaspoon of turmeric with some black pepper, ground ginger, ground clove, and cinnamon. It is very filling and energizing. I would have it with some walnuts, pistachios, pine nuts, three Brazilian nuts, and an avocado. Very simple breakfast that helps me get going without being weighed down.
Wow, that’s a lot of selenium from Brazil nuts. Possibly enough to harm health.
Quite the interesting combo/mix!
I'd like to buy coconut milk to make coconut milk ice cream but I've heard that coconut milk is not heart healthy because it's too high in saturated fat.
Traditional medicine vilifies saturated fat. But most all of the non traditional medicine do not think that is correct.
@@seth101-hv4st depending on the fat. If medicine comes from plants and herbs then it is safe to believe that any fat that comes a plant is in fact beneficial. Those that comes from animals are possibly not unless that animal has been eating a normal feed of grass and not force fed unnatural foods genetically modified to cause diseases. You choose.
Thank you Dr. Gundry. Healthy food became a science and I am glad to learn from you.
Excellent ‘lecture’ that most can understand 👍🏻
Dr Gundry, thank you for this video.
Best explanation I've heard and I've done a ton of research. My wife and I are up to a tablespoon per day and we started out with a teaspoon per day for about a week. No side effects. This was a very impressive video. I subbed half way through. Thank you Doctor.
I’m starting TODAY! Thanks doctor!
Thank you Dr Gundry! Your expertise is much appreciated! I wonder what's in the mason jar 😊Love the coloured eyeglasses n tie combo ‼
Thank You and by the way that tie is KILLER LUV IT
First class quality & detail & knowledge transfer & explanations - thank you wholeheartedly. 👍
Absolutely amazing information 👌
I pour my freshly made coffee into blender, add a pinch of sea salt, 9 drops of pure stevia, and 1 to 2 tablespoons of MCT oil. Blend on low for a minute. It's better than a latte! I either eat fresh coconut meat or fresh durian with my coffee because I'm in the Philippines.
I make coffee with MCT Oil, butter, and chocolate sauce(sugar-free). Every morning.
@@marialipscomb6988 Sometimes I add a pinch of pure cacao before I grind the coffee. Grass fed butter is great but I don't like the way it changes the flavor. It's worth it to pay more for grass fed butter - so many more nutrients. Kerry Gold brand or Kirkland's grass fed butter at Costco is so worth it.
I am also a big fan of Dr. Gundry. He is doing a remarkable Dr. job in helping people maintaining good health. May the Good Lord continue to bless you with good health.
His coffee mug is the same one that I have used for decades😊
Thank you, Dr Gundry 😊 I use MCT a few times a day. Love it on my eggs with avocado and a bit of goat cheese (slightly melted adds a nice flavour)
Good video!
You are Right on Dr. Gundry!
Great information👍
Dr. Gundry is remarkable Dr. He was amongst the first persons whi pointed out the problems people can have with lectins in some foods, and how we can avoid them.
Right, he is the first one who told along with gluten and dairy products, lectins create problems
twot
@@babitarana3893 where? I've been eating foods with lectin my whole life and I'm still here lmaoo
what?
he changed his tune on lectins you need to go catch up. not a problem for many and benefits if you don't have leaky gut. go listen it was not that long ago
Growing up in the 60's & 70's, there was no discussions on nutrition, so all we did was have normal breakfast, lunch & dinner, and that's how we lived.... My grandmother (on my side) lived to 95, and on my grandfather (on my wife's side) lived to 101... and neither of them spoke of longevity tricks other than telling us to NOT smoke or do drugs and to NOT drink too much alcohol, but that's about it... Well, I took their advice as I grew up to adulthood, so I NEVER took drugs or smoked, and I rarely drink alcohol at maybe 1 drink a month or less because I just don't like the dizzy feeling even after 1 drink, so I avoid alcohol.... So during the 80's & 90's, I just never entertained all this nutrition science stuff and just lived life normally, but I was aware of eating healthy & exercising, so I did, but sure, I ate unhealthy things too... I guess it just wasn't a factor so long as I looked & felt good.... Well, here we are in 2024 and I'm turning 60 years old in August, and I will say that I'm FINALLY taking in all this advice.

@@deborahthomas9 .... Yes, TV is an abbreviation for Television.
Recently started MCT oil… easy to take! It’s not a thick oil like mineral oil (no gagging) & has absolutely no taste or smell. Began slowly @ 1 tsp for a week, 2 tsps for a week & then 1 Tbsp daily.
Great video thank you 🙏
This is hands down the best explanation on mtc benefits i have read. Thank you very much!!!
Hello 👋Beautiful Lady 🌹..How are you and the weather condition like ?
Mitochondrial uncoupling is a process that occurs when a portion of the proton gradient produced by mitochondrial respiration is not used to create ATP synthesis. Instead, the proton gradient is dissipated as heat. This process is a natural part of body temperature regulation in mammals.
Love the tie and glasses!!🥰✨✌
Each to their own
Thanks for this update and reminder. I was wondering this morning if I can take Olive Oil together with my MCT 0il C8, C10. Answered my questions to what MCT oils levels do their job with mitochondria uncupling AND is it ok to take olive oil with them too. Dr Gundry's answer is yes it's ok to have a tablespoon of coldpressed organic olive oil with a tablespoon or two of MCT Oils C8, C10 ONLY. The other MCT Oils DO NOT actively work together mitochondria uncupling KNOR DO NOT build Ketones. He explains how and why. A good handy followup to ASEA Redox Molecules REDOX 5 previous post today.
Dr. Gundry i am a big fan of your work and the knowledge is 1st class ,thank you for your guidance in preventive medicine , i belive you truly do a lot of good for the common people and other medical practioneers should take notice.
you getting scammed
I'm with you👍
Another fantastic, educational video Dr.G!! ❤❤
Very informative video on MCT oil. Thank you very much.
Blocked my arteries. I have Greek genes., My arteries around my neck I think & have a calcification of %25 from Coconut oil. As a Mediterranean background, our Grannies never cooked with Coconut oil plus it’s a so far way of eating style to cook with coconut. Only Cold Press Virgin Olive oil & some real butter but for frying they used Veggie oil or Corn oil in the past. And they all live long near to 90 years old plus they do their housework alone. Eating Mix of everything perfect I know but I only eat certain things as well. I always make sure to get the seeds of all nightshade veggies with a spoon then marinade & cook them with red peppers again the seed of and peel in the airfryer😊😊😊 But to meet with Lectins is because Dr Gundry helped us, get less arthritis Pain🙏 Thanks to him & love him🙏💙🌺
Love it🔥👏
I give some to my dog who has seizures, seems to be really helping to stop them
Miracle oil. I put it on my bicycle chain.
@@HegelsOwl 😅
I have been using VCO over 15 years and in around the last 5 years I also started using chia seeds, turmeric and mushrooms that come in vitamin form. I also started doing bicycle crunches that work the lower abdominal muscles a lot better. I also started snacking more on roasted almonds. Not sure exactly what caused it, but I lost 70 lbs.!
I forgot to add, I did also start using berberine in vitamin form.
Brand of berberine
I have 2 copies of the APOe4 gene. First time seeing ths information anywhere. Thank you.
I'm taking MTC oil. Love it!
What changes did you experience after taking MCT oil ?
@@mariuszp4530HI there I started losing weight with little change in my diet,I stopped using it trying something else that was a bad choice so I'm back on Gundry MCT POWDER, but when I'm finished with his powder I will try and buy PURE MCT OIL . GOD BLESS I heard COSTCO SELLS IT.
C6 the best yet aromatic, C8 good enough and widely available
Thank you so much Dr. could you recommend a maker of the purest MCT Oil 🙏😊
So if you had to choose: Olive oil extra virgin cold pressed Ór : MCT OIL?
All these products will be prohibitively expensive given constant increase in prices. Can't hardly afford organic food.
Thank you Dr Gundry, what about drinking goat milk or eating its products ? Have i missunderstod the point ? Then how MCT oil is produced ?
Whoever reads this, I pray to the universe to cure all your diseases, and to remove all your pains from your daily life. 🙏🙏🙏
Amen!
Amen. Same to you🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌 𝒚𝒐𝒖. 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔.
Amen and God bless you 😢🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh, prayer is not a strategy
Would like to read about it. Do you have an article? Really don't understand w/o further explanation.
Dr Gundry, you look Terrific 😊 Gifted Dr. kind and gentle man!!! Lovely wife agrees, I’m sure 😊
Thank you so much Dr Gundry. Is Mct bad for people with high cholestrol/ triglicerides and pancreatic cysts?
Please answer this-as my triglycerides are high now - all of a sudden!
thank you
please explain what is uncoupling mitochondria
Coconut oil gives you a feeling of being full, as does hot cocoa drinks
I do MCT powder with collagen in my morning coffee. I found the oil to be messy, all over cup, lips.
MCT powder in my coffee, almost like cream, mixes easily
I bought and tried MTC, I did not realize it could cause upset stomach and balloting, I was in a lot of pain the two days I tried it. I waited a few days and tried it again later in the day instead of in the morning and it happened again. Now I have a quart and I can't consume it. Now I can use coconut oil and have not noticed it to upset my stomach, although I do not use it in my coffee.
Very difficult to know what YT Dr to listen too, I'm hoping Dr Gundry is right
The number one American doctor. ❤ 🙏🏻
Great info. Question: If I am on normal diet, not on ketogenic diet, would taking MCT oil supplement result increase of my blood glucose or may result in diabete?
I usually just take a teaspoon or so of MCT. I find nothing offensive about it. Sometimes get a tiny hit of coconut on a clean palate but I love coconut which I don't get much anymore.
Doc GA, do you think that Keto diet is safe for leaky gut?
Always love the info but I feel like im watching Nick Jr with the office colors, crazy tie and orange glasses. Like at any minute bubble guppies are going to swim in and take us on an adventure to explore mitochondria.
Copra is also one of the words for coconuts in some languages in SEA
I pour a teaspoon of mct oil and a tablespoon of olive oil into a shot glass, and take it to the head, every morning. Then I take my lipid soluble supplements: CoQ10, Vitamin D3, K2 with K7, and Lutein. I am a woman, and haven’t had any issues with mct oil yet. Over time, I will increase the amount of mct oil in the shot glass.
I use both oils in a sesmie seed treat that i make.....sugar free as well.
I concur
Dear dr Gundry , you are my Hero ! Can you please tell me how to eat quickly garlic to not get a stomach pain ? Because I squeeze it en drink al together with one glass water , or with one tablespoon with olive oil but I get little pain and brand 🔥 , 🙏🏻❤️
Have with honey and chase with water
I swallow the crushed raw garlic with water. If the garlic is still big to swallow I bite it into small pieces.
To Dr. Gundry, what happens if I mix olive oil in apple cider vinegar and shake the container a lot and the olive oil rises to the top? I was 🤔 thinking if I take that olive oil out of the container after I do that, it should have polyphenols from the apple cider vinegar right? Or is it the other way around and the apple cider vinegar has the olive oils polyphenols? And what if I replace the apple cider vinegar with mct oil what happens?! -Sneak King
Can you cook with it mixed with EVOO? What does heat do?
Thank you for discussing MCT vs Coconut oil AND how it pertains to APOE 4. A podcast on APOE would be helpful.
please, please, please provide an Apo4 podcast!
I did suffer a very upset stomach, not the point of nausea, but I literally had to run to the bathroom and stayed there for quite some time. I was ignorant in trying MCT for the first time and paid the price. I do a tsp for a couple of weeks.
How many times can someone take it if newbie
@@vivianafelipe5204 I took it that one time, but I think it was a tablespoon. I've taken smaller doses since and haven't had any problems.
Yes I agree, you need to start on a lower amount and build up, otherwise you get a bad reaction.
I've been buying/using your product MCT Wellness and there is no indication on the label or website which form of MCT is in it! Is it C8, C10 or C12? I called your customer service to inquire (which I shouldn't have to according to the information you provide in this video) and they were unable to answer the question. I don't appreciate this double standard Dr G!
Wow that’s totally disturbing Not even on his labels Unreal
@rshfn44 while getting my 3 tablespoons a day should I actually allow a little carbs in my diet rather than staying low on carbs ?
Any thoughts about MCT oil been good for skin?
MCT oils are also said to be antibacterial? And because they don't need a carrier to get through the cell wall, they can pass through mucus. Won't this harm gut bacteria? And thus violate their homeostasis.
Good day Doc is MCT oil good for CKD watching from Philippines God Bless ❤
I love the glasses and tie combo!
I appreciate the way you take time to pronounce your words so we can understand ❤ and don't have to adjust the speed on your content. Fast talkers lie/ misinform
Would MCT increase LDL cholesterol?
Hi Dr. G. Have been using mct oil Sr brand from Costco. Says from coconut oil but adds that it has c8 9 g and c10 4.7 g. I'm confused
That's fine
Dr Gundry which MCT oil is the best for ketones ATP brain function ?
Coconut oil vs MCT on ketone bodies? is it more effective, seen mixed results. Maybe some respond better to the fractionated oil than the standard oil.
I’m able to get my blood ketone levels up with regular coconut oil and find I can eat a lot more of if than I can of MCT oil. I think it’s a little contradictory to push a whole-foods diet but recommend a refined oil like MCT.
I'm just recently trying to adopt some of the things Dt Gundry promotes like MCT oil balsamic vinegar ,mineral water and since I started ( 3-5 days ago)ive felt sick ,weak and like i got some kind of bug ,oh yeah i also tried bok choy ,so I'm wondering what's happening?
i drink 70-100 ml per day on a ketogenic diet. my ketones are through the roof!
What the hack is mct oil? 😂😂😂 love it❤
Hi Dr Gundry, my brother is 57 and found out he has a blood disease that causes over production of red blood cells. Thickening of the blood. What do you recommend food wise or supplements that can help reverse or stabilize his disease. Thank you, I’m trying to help him. I have him drinking dandelion tea and I’ve read milk thistle is good too.
Hello 👋Beautiful Lady 🌹..How are you and the weather condition like ?
Truly insane!
Love the tie with the glasses! (The info is so good too!😊)
I use mine to make mayo 😊
💰
I can take MCT C8 on its own, or with coffee, no problem 1tbsp. As soon as I put it in the shake - i get sick.
Thank you can you tell me where you buy your eye glass frames?? Yours RB
Does your MCT wellness provide all the C8 i need daily?
Dr Gundry can I take mct oil on a normal diet/carbs
I wonder if goat butter and cheese can work well as well? I live in the Netherlands and we can buy affordable milk and butter from goats. Your thoughts?
I don’t know it will work “as well” but goat milk, cheese, yogurt, and butter are packed with MCT’s.
@@HEARTANDSOULOFMINE I guess it should work. After all Capra means Goat:-)
I took my very first dose of MCT oil C8 C10 1 teaspoon. Then at lunch time another teaspoon then at dinner. No effects from it at all. Don't need to loose weight but just taking for the health benefits.
Which mct oil is best? Did he say coconut mct isn't good?
It’s all about the frames.
I use MCT oil almost on a daily basis now, I get great energy at the gym and I feel great as well! The MCTs are quite interesting in that they not only facilitate the production of ketones but also help with lactic acid/recovery from a vigorous workout.
About to order MCT oil but don’t know which is the best. Can you suggest one please . Thanks.
Nutivia organic
What about someone who has high cholesterol, high ApoB, high low density LDL using MCT oil since it’s very high in saturated fat? Experts say to lower saturated fat for someone with this type of profile. 🤔
I have the same question…
I have the same question. Wondering if MCT is absorbed directly by liver then does not affect LDL?
I use mct oil in my coffee every morning after my green tea
I am trying to listen but I can’t keep up… so much valuable information is lost in delivery!
Baby goats are adorable 😍.
