MCT oil and coconut oil as liquids in bottles from 118 ml to 1 litre and as softgels in packs of 60, 120 and 180. MCT stands for medium-chain triglycerides, and some bottles are labelled C8, which refers to caprylic acid. Compare the serving in grams or millilitres, the number of servings per pack and the fatty acid composition where the label or product page gives it. Softgels state the oil per softgel in milligrams, so multiply by the number of softgels in the serving on the label to compare with a liquid.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between MCT oil and coconut oil?

Coconut oil is the whole oil from the coconut, and its fatty acids vary in chain length. MCT oil is made to contain mainly medium-chain fatty acids, usually caprylic acid (C8) and capric acid (C10). Fractionated coconut oil is coconut oil with most of the long-chain fatty acids separated off. The label or product page states the source oil and the fatty acids.

What does C8 mean on an MCT oil?

C8 is caprylic acid, a fatty acid with 8 carbon atoms. An oil labelled C8 consists mainly of triglycerides of that one fatty acid, while a plain MCT oil usually combines C8 and C10. The composition is stated on the label or product page, so compare it there.

How do I compare MCT oil softgels with liquid MCT oil?

Softgels state the oil per softgel, for example 1000 mg, and the label gives the number of softgels in the daily serving; multiply the two for the oil per serving. A liquid states its serving in ml or g. Because 1 ml of oil weighs less than 1 g, convert both to the same unit before comparing the price per gram of oil.
