Mutant MCT Oil — Pure C8 & C10 Fuel From Coconut, Zero Carbs Mutant MCT Oil is 100% pure medium-chain triglyceride oil extracted exclusively from coconut — no palm oil, no fillers, no flavouring. Each 15ml tablespoon serving delivers 9.8g of C8 (Caprylic Acid) and 4.2g of C10 (Capric Acid), providing six times more true MCTs than plain coconut oil (which contains only around 15% C8 and C10). Zero carbs, unflavoured, and produced in Mutant's own manufacturing facility to their quality standard. 946ml / 63 serves, in stock at TopDog Nutrition. Why MCT Oil — and Why C8 and C10 Specifically MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) take fewer biochemical steps to convert into energy than carbohydrates — they bypass normal fat digestion and are rapidly converted to ketones, which the body and brain can use for fuel almost immediately. Not all MCTs are equal though: C8 (Caprylic Acid) — 9.8g per serve — the most rapidly absorbed and converted to ketones. The most prized MCT for fast, clean energy and cognitive performance. C10 (Capric Acid) — 4.2g per serve — slightly slower than C8, supporting sustained energy and immune function. No C12 (Lauric Acid) — C12 behaves more like a long-chain fat and absorbs slowly. Many budget MCT oils load C12 to inflate their MCT numbers. Mutant's formula contains only the two fast-acting, useful MCTs. Key Benefits Fast, clean energy — MCTs convert to ketones rapidly, fuelling body and brain without requiring a blood sugar spike. Zero carbs — adds calories without carbohydrate, making it compatible with keto, low-carb, and any eating approach. Cognitive support — ketones are an efficient fuel source for brain function, focus and mental clarity. Muscle preservation — provides energy from fat rather than muscle glycogen, supporting lean tissue during calorie deficits or fasted training. Digestive efficiency — MCTs are more readily absorbed than long-chain fats, making them easier on the digestive system for most people. Versatile — unflavoured and odourless, it disappears into anything without changing the taste. How to Use It Bulletproof coffee — the classic. Add 1 tablespoon to your morning coffee and blend or froth for a creamy, high-fat start to the day. Protein shakes — stir into your post-workout shake for added healthy fats without flavour interference. Smoothies and shakes — blends invisibly into any liquid. Salad dressings and sauces — drizzle over meals as a high-quality fat source. Pre-training fuel (fasted) — a tablespoon before fasted morning training provides fast-absorbing energy without breaking a ketogenic fast for most protocols. Directions Start with 1 teaspoon (5ml) daily with food to assess individual tolerance — jumping straight to a full tablespoon can cause digestive discomfort in some people who are new to MCT oil. Once comfortable, increase to 1 tablespoon (15ml) with food once daily. May use up to 3 tablespoons per day. Not recommended for frying — pure C8 and C10 MCTs have a low smoke point. Frequently Asked Questions Why start with a small dose? MCT oil can cause nausea, stomach cramps or loose stools if you start at full dose without building up — particularly common in people who haven't used MCT oil before. Starting at 1 teaspoon and increasing over a week or two avoids this completely. Is it suitable for vegans? Yes — 100% coconut-derived, no animal products. Packaged in a facility that also handles milk, soya, wheat and fish (collagen), so those with severe allergies should check the label. Can I use it for cooking? No — pure C8 and C10 MCTs have a low smoke point and break down at cooking temperatures. Use cold or add to warm (not hot) drinks. For high-heat cooking, use coconut oil instead. How does this compare to regular coconut oil? Plain coconut oil is only around 15% true C8 and C10 MCTs — the rest is lauric acid and long-chain fats that don't behave like MCTs. Mutant MCT Oil is 100% C8 and C10 only, making it roughly six times more potent as an MCT source per tablespoon than plain coconut oil. Will it make me gain weight? M
