Mutant MCT Oil is a clear, unflavoured oil in a 946 mL (32 fl oz) bottle. The label lists one ingredient: 100% fractionated coconut oil, made up of medium chain triglycerides. The front of the bottle names the two MCTs it contains, C8 and C10. A serving is one tablespoon (15 mL), and the bottle holds 64 of them.
Nutrition per tablespoon
The Canadian Nutrition Facts table lists 120 calories and 14 g of fat per 15 mL, all of it saturated, with 0 g of trans fat. It is not a significant source of carbohydrate, fibre, sugars, protein, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, calcium or iron. The oil adds fat calories and nothing else, which is why people on keto and other low-carb plans use it to raise their fat intake without adding carbohydrate.
What C8 and C10 are
C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid) are fatty acids with chains of 8 and 10 carbon atoms. Regular coconut oil also contains longer chains, mostly lauric acid (C12), and it turns solid in a cool room. Fractionating separates out most of the longer chains, so this oil stays liquid in the cupboard or the fridge and has almost no smell or taste.
How to use it
The directions call for one tablespoon once a day with food. Start with one teaspoon (5 mL), about a third of a serving, and increase over several days. Large amounts of MCT oil, or oil taken on an empty stomach, can cause cramps or loose stools in some people, so build up slowly.
Because it has no flavour, it blends into protein shakes, coffee, tea and smoothies, or into salad dressings and sauces. You can also drizzle it over cooked food. It is not suited to frying: pure C8 and C10 oil has a low smoke point. A blender or milk frother mixes it into coffee more evenly than a spoon. At one tablespoon a day, the 946 mL bottle lasts a little over two months.
Storage and allergens
Keep the cap closed and store the bottle away from heat and direct light. The label says it is packaged in a facility that also handles milk, soy, wheat and fish (collagen).

I take this before and after a workout. I used to mix a tablespoon of this with my protein shake but now I just take it straight and it mixes well with the shake. The oil has no taste and doesn't seem to have any adverse effects on my stomach.
