Have you heard of MCT oil before? Perhaps you've seen it when you've come across Bulletproof Coffee recipes? MCT Stands for Medium Chain Triglycerides and is known for supporting a healthy brain function while also assisting in keeping you feeling full and satiated. Like any product you ingest, choosing products made in the USA is a wise choice for knowing you are getting a high-quality MCT.
For high-intensity athletes and those who follow a higher fat, lower carbohydrate diet, MCTs can serve as a vital source of energy. I've been adding MCT Oil in my morning coffee for over 60 days now.
I notice that I can go the entire morning without cravings or energy crashes. I also notice that it has improved my joint mobility. I'm feeling much less stiff than I was before I started my MCT habit.
MCT Oil is composed of the following acids, Caproic Acid (C6-six carbons), Caprylic Acid (C8-8 carbons), Capric Acid (C10-10 carbons), and Lauric Acid (C12- 12 carbons).
Here are five types of MCT oil manufactured in the USA, all 100% coconut oil based, that we recommend. All of the products listed below derive their MCT oil from coconuts.
Kiss My Keto C8 MCT Oil is a pure C8 (the most potent and desirable MCT chain). Most other MCT Oils on the market sell a combination of C8 and C10. While it's slightly more expensive, this oil is best if you're looking to reap the full benefits of the power of MCT Oil.
Kiss My Keto is a newer company that was just launched in February 2017. They offer MCT in various forms including powder, capsules, and oil. Kiss My Keto products are packaged in New York.
Nutiva Organic MCT Oil Unlike non-organic MCT Oil brands, there are no chemicals or filler oils used during the process of extracting the MCT from the coconuts. The result is a clean, light coconut-flavored MCT Oil. I particularly love the seal pour on this bottle; it makes it easy to add to my morning coffee. This is packaged in the company's manufacturing site in Richmond, California.
Onnit Emulsified MCT Oil gives you all the benefits of MCT oil in the most convenient way possible. Instead of needing a blender, you just stir in any one of these delicious flavors and it mixes evenly and instantly. MCTs are one of the cleanest fuel sources available for the body, supporting energy and healthy metabolism.

I have never heard of MCT oil before! This is good to know, and I would like to try it!
I had never heard of MCT oil before. Thanks for the info!
I should try this brand of MCT Oils. I tried a different brand once, and it didn’t agree with my stomach. Since then, I’ve focused only of food based keto diet supplements. 🙁
Stacey, a few tips so that it doesn’t upset your stomach include being sure ingesting it on a full stomach and only starting with one teaspoon. I had the same issue and realized I was taking 1 tablespoon on an empty stomach. I got stabbing pains from it because it was simply running through my system too fast. I hope that helps!
I haven’t heard before that MCT oil is good for your stomach. I thought coconut oils are only good for the hair.
Nutiva is NOT made in the USA. It says right on the bottle Product of Singapore / Manufactured for Nutiva. So what gives?
This is great information, Your health will always be your top priority. Always eat healthy and live a healthy lifestyle.
I have concerns about companies that seem to be the manufacturing site of a product but it is only “packaged” in the USA. None of the companies you list seem to be the direct manufacturer. Can you confirm any of these companies as the manufacturer?
Yes, we share your concern. We can only go by the information the companies provide to us. I encourage you to reach out directly when you have questions. It feels great to talk directly to those on the front lines of American business. If you ever learn anything you think we should know, please report back! Thank you for trying so hard to buy American.
