Gave Me Heart Flutters So I Had To Stop Taking It

This review is for the Nutiva Organic MCT Oil, 128 oz bottle. I have used MCT oil in my coffee for several years now, along with 2 Tblspns of butter, and 2 Tblspns of heavy whipping cream, and blend it well, before drinking. I always make sure the bottle says it is 100% from coconuts whichever brand I buy. I thought that I had previously purchased a smaller size of the Nutiva MCTs at Whole Foods, so when I saw the 128 oz bottle, I thought I would purchase it to save some money. After the first day of using this oil, my heart started feeling weird, but I didn't associate it with the oil; I thought it was stress from work. So I added it to my coffee the next morning too, and again noticed my heart making fluttering kind of feelings, almost feeling like my heart was skipping beats. It didn't make sense to me that this was happening from stress a second day, so I was suspicious of the MCTs. So I Googled it and found results saying that some types of MCTs, including the BulletProof brand, have been reported to give people heart related side effects. So, I immediately stopped taking the oil and called my doctor who said this should not be happening and not to consume this anymore. Needless to say, I'm out a bunch of money for buying this huge bottle. If you have not used this brand before, you may want to try it the smaller size before splurging and getting the 128 oz bottle. Aside from the heart flutters, the oil was satisfactory: As with other MCTs I have consumed, this oil was tasteless, was not rancid, and I did not notice anything negative about the oil. The bottle came sealed and well-packaged

Haters gonna hate…

Best value for quality MCT oil on Amazon. Read several reviews about people complaining about pouring from the bottle being messy. I'm not sure how these people manage to tie their shoes every morning? This is a bulk purchase, you are not supposed to be pouring from a 1 gallon bottle into your covfefe every morning. I saved my last empty bottle that had a nice squirt spout on it and used a small funnel to easily refill the bottle. Not a drop spilled. This bottle is nearly 50% cheaper than smaller packaged versions, I guess some people just need to stick with easier bottles and need to pay for that convenience

a winner

First time ordering this brand of MCT. We were using NOW Foods but they suddenly went out of stock on Amazon. We then tried an Amazon Brands which was reasonably priced the first time. The next time the price went up significantly. This led us to try this. Reviews were good so we gave it a whirl. We have used it for a month now with no drops in energy. It blends well in our coffee and just makes us feel good. I think we have a new winner. We have been on a clean keto for 3 years now (no cheats!). We both have MCT in multiple cups of coffee a day. We have been through many brands that work or don't. There actually can be large differences in MCT oil. Personally ... I don't even care for Bulletproof brand. I do not find it gives me an energy boost. For us ... this brand is a winner and so economical in the big jug. Would repurchase

Great value and really tasteless!!!

Having been following a Ketogenic diet for the last 3 years I have had a lot of experience trying different MCT oils over that time. I usually approximately 1 1/2 table spoon to my coffee in the morning and to my green tea in the afternoon. Many of the oils that I have tried in the past have caused me to feel a little nausea after drinking. This has caused me to keep trying different brands. This is the only brand that I have tried that is truly tasteless and does not cause that nausea. The other positive is that the value is far greater than any MCT oil that I've been able to find that is also organic. You might be able to find oils that have a higher C-8 level, but not at this price

The seal looked like it was intentionally cut in a straight line

I purchased this item and was really excited to try it. However, it arrived today (March 8, 2018) with a punctured seal. The seal looked like it was intentionally cut in a straight line. The oil had leaked all over the interior of the shipping box. When I went to return the item for a replacement online this evening, it claimed this item was not eligible for a return. So, I spent $67 for an item I can't use or replace because it arrived defective. Be very weary of purchasing anything from this seller. If anything changes, I will be sure to provide an update

My three star rating is because it blends well but I don't like where it is produced

The Nutiva MCT oil, which has no taste, is more watery than what I was using. Why does the side of the bottle have Singapore on it? This makes me uneasy as I have no way of being assured of the efficacy of this product. Why would I choose to order a product that is produced in Singapore and note the United States of American. My three star rating is because it blends well but I don't like where it is produced. Can anyone clarify for me

Stomach pain

I think there is something wrong with this product. I have used MCT oils before without any issues, but this causes me to have bad stomach pains and gas. It is the first time I have bought this brand and the gallon size. It was past the 30 days before I determined this product is what was causing my issues and it is non-returnable, but Amazon took care of me! I also recently learned, from my Nutritionist, that MCT oils should be refrigerated after opening. It is a gallon bottle so it would be wise to refrigerate it. The bottle says 'no refrigeration required'. This product turned rancid. Do not recommend

Labeled BPA free bottle

In terms of quality…. It is obviously a great quality product. Just look at all of the reviews. Some people have claimed that the bottle does not state it is BPA free, well that is clearly incorrect. See image of where this can be found. Also…if you don't like the bottle because of the size, just transfer some of the product to a smaller one. This is a bulk product, so it arrives in a bulk container. I guess you can't please everyone

Excellent Packaging

I like this particular brand but haven't purchased the GAL size till now. Contrary to some reviews, they have stepped up their packaging technique to a 5-tier fail-free sustem. Count them on photo. No way this was going to leak with that many precautions. Great value, Thank you

Best purchase in MCT

Update: previously this had two more stars. However, going from $57 to $84 per gallon in 6 months is absurd. Not a fan of companies that do a 50% increase on their pricing once you're on their subscription list. I'm going back to the old way of buying it as needed instead of bulk. ************** The best things about this purchase other than the quality of the oil, which seems superb is the price and the packaging. If you've ever had a leaky bottle of oil, you'll understand why I highlight the packaging on this product. I'd rather clean up anything but oil. Inside the Amazon box is another very strong box, and inside that one are two cardboard cradles, one perfectly fitted for each end. Therefore, the bottle itself is basically held in suspension inside the box, protecting it from everything except the worst treatment possible. And there's no part of any of this that isn't fully recyclable. Just cardboard and the plastic gallon bottle
