Nature's Way MCT Oil From Coconut Pure Source, No Filler Oils, 14 g of MCTs per serving, 30 Fl. Oz.

Jesus Take The Wheel!!!!

I read the reviews and pondered all the possible side-effects of a little, daily MCT oil....and eventually decided to take the leap. Day 1 - After adding a single teaspoon to my morning coffee, I sat back and waited to see what happened. It had no noticeable flavor and wasn't an entirely unpleasant addition to morning brew. After several hours, all was still well, and I went about my day. Day 2 - After the previous mornings success, I confidently added another teaspoon to my Maxwell House, believing myself immune to those side effects you will repeatedly read about in these reviews. But....I was wrong. So very, very wrong. It quickly turned into a “Jesus Take The Wheel!” kinda morning....doubled over in pain, some evil combination of hellfire and acid rain shooting out my back side, and a new found appreciation for those “old people” grip bars, which I don't have, but desperately needed in that moment of absolute horror and misery. I'm giving this concoction 5 stars across the board. Not because it's pleasant or because I believe it does anything to promote weight loss or a healthy lifestyle. It gets 5 stars because it's the best dang laxative I've ever come across in my life. If ya need to poo....this stuff is for you! Otherwise, use it sparingly and stay close to home, just in case

Totally based on hope

There's no hard evidence I can find that says this stuff actually works. So it's just like almost every other supplement in that sense. I don't have a lab to test the quality. I just put it in my iced coffee. Been on a super low carb diet and bolstering with this to help weight loss and also give a little extra fat for energy. I feel like it's helped especially on the latter part. This is my second bottle. It's not great with hot drinks (tends to float to the top) but in cold stuff, it mixes in decently and you don't get a mouthful of oil

Good for Cooking

I paid for a subscription to an online independent lab that tests ingredients and claims for potency. The lab doesn't accept advertisements so I trust their reviews. This oil was recommended for both quality and value (e.g., cost per ounce). Unfortunately I had to quit keto, which is why I bought this in the first place. So now I have a nearly full Bottle of oil. I decided to give it a try with a very hot pan to make fajita veggies. I worried that the oil would smoke with the high heat. I was very pleasantly surprised that it cooked perfectly

Why did you change the lid?!

Update 4th or 5th purchase: I'm SO disappointed. I can usually roll with the changes and adjust but the change they made to this lid is sad. There use to be a stopper or filter (not sure what it's called) in the hole of the lid so you actually had to squeeze the bottle to get the oil out. They removed that, so no matter how gingerly I try to turn the bottle to the side to pour, the oil comes flying out on the counter, in the cup, down the side of the cup, all over the oil bottle lid and bottle. I must have lost at lease 1/4 cup already from this waste. It's a mess. Bring back the old lid please or just send me one of the old style lids that I can keep and reuses. Update 5/31/19 and 3rd purchase: I use this product as a way to increase healthy fats. I have been a vegetarian for a few years and have continued to struggle with my weight. After adding this and swapping out some inflammation causing foods like certain legumes and nuts, I've lost 31 lbs. No gym and sit most of my day for work. It's not a magic oil. I spent two months logging my food intake, reactions and how I felt after eating - bloated, etc. But if you know you need to add healthy fats, this might help. Original: It's packaged well for shipment and does not have a smell or taste. I use it often and I will purchase it again

Memory help

Product is taken in conjunction with Magnesium L-Threonate (Dr. Mercola 2,000mg 3xday) as part of a program from a memory specialist. I was prescribed to improve memory and/or slow the memory decline in old age. I am 78 and, like others my age, keeping the memory sharp can be a challenge. I take the recommended 1 tablespoon as either 1 teaspoon three times a day or 1.5 teaspoons twice a day (spreading out the dose is important). The results are phenomenal: I now can remember exact location of where I last saw things (something I had never been able to do before). Also, people's names from many years ago are being recalled (never my strong point). Product has no taste at all and leave, perhaps, a brief aftertaste (and that only if I am looking for the aftertaste). As to value? How much would you be willing to pay for a better memory? And this one is reasonably priced

TMI on the bowel movements people..

I bought this at Sprouts Farmers Market for twice the price and half the size at first. My internet didn't work in the store when I was trying to check on prices first and Sprouts was having a sale so I rushed to buy it. As soon as I saw it was cheaper here, I returned it immediately and bought it here. Anyway this stuff is great but I have never read so many reviews about explosive diarrhea... TMI people.. I did not have this problem but am almost jealous since you don't go so much while on Keto. I got used to the taste fast and kinda don't like my coffee without it in it now. The only issue I had at first was sometimes it hurt my throat for some reason in a burning way. I only stir mine in, I don't blend it. So it can be oily and separated obviously but I don't mind it. It does get your lips oily tho. I can't say I have that instant miracle energy, super human brain power other people are trying to sell it as, but it's good stuff. Don't know if I'll try something else or repurchase again. My first MCT oil so I don't have anything else to compare it to

Coffee additive

I've been using this for about 2 months and have reordered as a subscription as I like it in my coffee every morning and don't want to miss out. It has an oily feel and it comes from coconut which I like. Someone mentioned something about the pouring (squirting) makes a mess but I have not had that problem as I turn it completely upside down and point it directly into my cup before I squeeze the bottle, works great this way. I have not seen it leak or spill by turning it over which is really good, hence I have to squeeze the bottle to get it to come out which is fine for me. As for what it does health-wise I have no complaints there. There is no flavor to this so makes no difference to the taste of my coffee. It has helped me to cut down on my sugar intake in my coffee, which I am very happy about

Very good overall, but one occasional issue….

I have purchase this on Amazon 3 times. The quality and shipping have been excellent. There is one issue I encounter where the cap design/style is different on 2 of the 3 purchases. The left photo shows two of the three orders I have received. The right photo is 1 of the 3 purchases. The white cap is a far superior way to dispense the oil. It does not leave a mess, or dribble onto and down the side of the bottle. The black caps dribble and run down the side of the bottle. It leaves for a oily cabinet shelf. I have been washing and re-using the white cap. Otherwise, I am very pleased with the quality of this oil

It works

This is a reorder. It have been using this since I have started a Keto somewhat diet over a year ago. I only put a teaspoon in my coffee in the morning. It helps keep me full and has been a part of my weight loss program. Warning, do not use a large amount. If you are just starting to use the MCT oil. You will have stomach problems and have to run to the bathroom because of lose stools! You have to give your body time to adjust to this. I still only take a teaspoon, because my body can't tolerate more and it is all I need

Start low, go slow

I bought this for primarily to alleviate the constipation that I developed when I switched to a low carb diet. I had read that you should start at a smaller dose and work your way up to 1 tbsp. However, my constipation is so persistent and other laxatives have been so ineffective that I started with 1 tbsp right off the bat. Big mistake. I took it straight and on an empty stomach. About 5 hours later, I felt horrible stomach cramps. I was literally doubled over in pain as I stumbled to the bathroom. The next is TMI (you've been warned!) I sat there for 10 minutes moaning and clutching my abdomen in pain, had two large BM's, and finally left the bathroom after about half an hour, feeling a bit shaky. Two days later I began with a half teaspoon, and increased it by a half teaspoon every 3 or 4 days. I'm now up to a full tablespoon. It has, in fact, helped with my constipation. It also seems to be helping a bit with weight loss. I've lost 3 pounds in the last week without even trying. Don't quite understand why. I recommend the product, but please start with no more than 1 teaspoon until you see how your body reacts
