Can it cause stomach discomfort or digestive discomfort?Updated 22 days ago

When you first try MCT oil, it's worth starting slowly, with around 5ml a day and building up gradually to 15ml. This gives your body time to adjust.

Coconut oil naturally contains a range of medium-chain fats (C6, C8, C10 and C12). We only use C8 and C10 in our Organic C8 MCT Oil and Organic C8 + C10 MCT Oil, as C6 is the fraction most likely to cause an unpleasant taste and digestive discomfort.

How an MCT oil is processed matters too. Ours is triple steam distilled without harsh chemicals, which can help reduce the chance of stomach upset. If you're ever unsure how an MCT oil has been made, it's worth asking the brand directly.
