In their own words
“I tried cutting back on other supplements (oddly, MCT Oil seems to make it worse)”
“I cannot speak highly enough of MCT oil...it makes me feel like a 'normal person'. I don't overeat, AT ALL, I have energy, words and emotions dance their way out of me.”
“Mct oil boosts energy in the morning for me. I made the mistake once of have like a tablespoon and a half of MCT in black coffee on an empty stomach. It was like a mosh pit in my bowels.”
“When I take a spoon of MCT oil, I feel amazing. I feel energized and almost euphoric. They're ketones, so it's like fake ketosis”
“I've tried to level it out before...fats such as MCT oil and Ghee but nothing seems to work”
