Viva Naturals Organic MCT Oil for Keto Coffee (32 fl oz) - Best MCT Oil Supplement to Support Energy and Mental Clarity, USDA Organic, Non-GMO and Paleo Certified & Keto Friendly

Quaffed daily in Java, amazing!

In the short time I've been using this MCT in my BP coffee, I've not suffered disabling cramps, no violent diarhea, I've produced nary a whiff of offensive odor, nor have I experienced any unpleasant mild aftertaste. While I cannot affirm the synergistic benefits versus virgin coconut oil or Brain Octane, I can say quite confidently that I am penultimately satisfied with this product. Taken in concert with grass fed butter in my morning cup of organic Joe, I feel alert and focused. I barely hear voices in my head anymore and I notice stop signs and lights on my drive to work that I never noticed before. When 12:00 rolls around at work, I no longer find myself pounding my head on keyboard screaming "God, will this day never end!!" At day's end, I haven't felt even the slightest urge to staple my coworkers' lips shut. In lieu of the potential for discomfort and embarrassment this product avoids, I give it an enthusiastic two thumbs up!

MCT Oil made a big difference

I have been Keto for over a year, always used coconut oil in my bullet-proof Tea in morning. Mostly because I thought it wasn't worth the extra money. Still feel great on Keto but weight loss had plateaued, 2 months ago I switched to MCT oil, it has made a big difference, get into ketosis faster, more energy and satisfied longer, makes intermittent fasting easier. Best of had to buy all new pants a size smaller...woo-whoo. My bullet-proof Tea, I make a pot of green tea with fresh ginger, night before, in morning I heat up lg cup of tea, and blend with 1 tablespoon KerryGold (Grass-fed) Butter, 1 tablespoon MCT oil, 1 scoop Collagen peptides. It's yummy, creamy/foamy like a latte. Most people make bullet-proof "coffee" and some add heavy cream as well. Keto Side note: For over 10 years ago I was suffering from various health issues, thyroid, autoimmune, weight gain, acid reflux, back and neck pain, allergies and sinus issues. Various Doctors all had me taking different meds for each alignment, but I felt terrible all the time. A friend suggested seeing a integrated medical doctor. He felt all my health issues were related and basically caused by an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in gut that can lead to inflammation and many serious health issues. Taking probiotics would not be enough, bad bacteria craves sugar and carbs, to restore balance I had to cut their food supply. It made sense but not sure I believed it would really help but worth a try. Giving up sugar, wheat and processed foods, seemed impossible and was a hard adjustment basically followed Paleo. But after 1 month of low carb, felt a real difference, after 3 months felt even better and losing weight, by 6 months amazing, health issues disappearing and no meds at all. Later I discovered Keto and made giving up sugar and grains much easier, when you use healthy fats to fuel your body, you are satisfied, not hungry and cravings disappear. At 51 I feel younger and better than ever

The skeptical Atkins dieter review.

I was VERY skeptical of this products efficacy as related to its ability to jump start ketosis for ketogenic diets. I started taking 1 tbsp in the AM and 1 before bed on Monday. End of day 1 which was a Monday my keto test strip was registering a trace amount. Tuesday I had the "keto flu" which for me is a headache. Today is Wednesday and the attached image is my keto strip. My "keto flu" would normally last 2-3 days. I should note that I lift and do cardio 3-5 days a week but am NOT one of those super in shape people. In doing low carb/ketogenic diets for the past 10 years, I have NEVER gotten this deep of a keto strip this fast. This is so awesome because it makes this diet so much more flexible. Now I can eat a holiday meal or have some fun once in a while and it's not a waste of two weeks of work. I will re-post in a few weeks, but this stuff is awesome. If you do get diarrhea, it's ok it's just the first part of ketosis... Update **** 10/2/17 *** Switched to MCT oil in powder for from Quest Nutrition. No more diarrhea

I will not feel like the weekend is wasted come Monday

Being in my late 30s and 1 kid later, I'm not quite as svelte as I used to be. On top of that, I have slowed way down physically. I began the keto diet to start something different and lose weight. That has been going fine, bit slow but fine. I started using the MCT oil 3 days ago and oh my gosh. Starting yesterday it has really made a difference. I come home from work and actually did things around the house and much to my husbands shock, made dinner! Today was the first day I put it in my coffee and I have cleaned the garage, raked leaves, picked up groceries, made zuchinni bread, home made marinara, various mom duties to a 6 year old, and now will start shampooing my front room. It's only 2:30. Basically, come Monday I will not feel as if I wasted my weekend. I don't feel jittery or jumpy. I just have no desire to sit and I am not wore out at all

New “Viva Naturals” version smells and tastes atrocious. Avoid.

After using this product under its original branding "Viva Labs" (with the orange and blue label) I was shocked to discover that not only did the label change but the product itself is vastly different. The original Viva Labs MCT oil had absolutely no scent or discernible taste. However, I had finally run out of that bottle and opened the new Viva Naturals MCT Oil I had ordered in March and was immediately aware of a stark difference in scent and flavor. I thought my coffee maker needed to be cleaned. Except I brewed another cup without the MCT oil and the awful chemical smell and taste were absent. I'm extremely disappointed and cannot return the oil having ordered it over 2 months ago. Again, the original Viva Labs formula was fantastic but the new (and improved?) Viva Naturals version of the oil is absolutely unusable. Avoid at all cost. Update 5/13/18 I was contacted by the company, given a full refund and a free replacement bottle of MCT oil. Now that's spectacular customer service. Apparently there was in fact a bad batch which I had received and that explains the bitter smell and taste. As far as I'm concerned the company was honest and made good on their efforts to correct the situation. 5 stars all the way. Will order again

Poor package design, avoid powder if KETO

I enjoy the product. It gives me a great deal of energy, without making me shaky or high strung. My only issue (and the reason I probably will not purchase it again) is the packaging. No matter how I try to pour the oil, it runs down the side of the bottle. It needs to be fitted with a mouth similar to an olive oil bottle. At $25 a pop, I really don't want to waste the product. Edited to add...I purchased the powder not realizing that it contains maltodextrin, which is not great for those maintaining a ketogenic diet. Stick with the oil!

Down 10 pounds by accident!

I've read many of the reviews of this product. Some reviewers are over the top in their warnings about this isn't Keto this or Keto that. They complain it tastes awful (it doesn't), that it can be messy (it's oil for crying out loud). Here's my experience. I decided to try MCT to give me some energy before working out without pounding carbs. I put about a teaspoon in my morning coffee and don't even notice the flavor. It's a bit messy coming out of the bottle, but it would be a breeze to put it in an olive oil jar with a spout and problem solved. First, I noticed I was able to complete my workouts without my energy crashing. Second, and pleasant surprise is that I come home from the gym and I'm not ravenous. I'll eat a bit simply because I know I need to, not because I feel like I'm starving. The MCT absolutely helps suppress my appetite. I may even pour another teaspoon into whatever I'm eating for good measure. Here's the complete surprise. I haven't been trying to consciously diet (been there, done that). However, I noticed getting some slack in my jeans waistband and I decided to risk getting back on the scales. Over the past couple of months I'm down 10 pounds and have truly not been trying to diet. Nothing else is different in my diet. My wife said I seem to be eating a little less at dinner, but this has been totally unintentional on my part. I have to give some credit to the Viva MCT oil. It's really the only change I've made to my diet

I LOVE This Brand of MCT Oil – I've had Amazing Results and OUTSTANDING Customer Service From Viva Naturals

This brand of MCT Oil is simply the BEST! I purposely waited a very long time to submit a review of this product, because I wanted to be sure it worked and I wanted to be able to give an accurate review based on my results. So, here goes... I ordered my first bottle of MCT Oil in June 2016 after seeing an actor on a daytime talk show swear by MCT Oil (he didn't mention any brand) as his "go to" product to help him get lean for roles requiring "HOT Bodies." Well, before his segment was over, I rushed to Amazon, did some quick research and ordered Viva Naturals MCT Oil! I began taking a tbsp a day in June 2016 - in my shakes, or in hot tea or in my coconut water. I am a very active person, so I work out regularly and I typically eat somewhat healthy, however, I had never experienced a body transformation of the magnitude, that this MCT Oil provided! Since June 2016 (it is now May 2017), I have lost 30 lbs, and at 52 1/2 years-old (I am now 5' 3'' and 122 lbs), I have never been as lean as I am in my life! Now yes, it is almost one year later, however, I began seeing AMAZING RESULTS in November 2016 and had lost 15 lbs of body fat! I maintained my regular workouts and did not change my eating habits, but prior to using Viva Naturals MCT Oil, I was not able to achieve this... shed as much body fat, and get a super lean appearance, as my current AMAZING Body. I now swear by Viva Naturals MCT Oil, and I encourage you to buy their product - AND NO, I am NOT getting paid for my review. This is just my HONEST take on a product I LOVE!!!!! As for the company, their customer service is OUTSTANDING and always accessible and responsive! No question is too tough for them, and they take pride in providing you the absolute best experience

Great Stuff

First off, I want to point out that this is a HUGE Bottle! 32 oz is nothing to stick your nose up at. This bottle will last a really long time so for the price, this is really great deal. Next I appreciate the fact that they have used a BPA free bottle which not everyone thinks to do and yet it is so important, especially when we are trying so hard to be healthy and keep crap chemicals out of our bodies. I have heard of the coffee craze with the grass fed butter and MCT but honestly, I just add the oil directly to my coffee and stir vigorously, I don't really care that it floats on top a bit. I also add it to my salad dressing since I prefer to make my own over bottled, they taste better anyway. This is the first time I've tried MCT and I have recently been told I have high cholesterol so I can't wait to see what effect it is going to have on this. Because it also helps you maintain a healthy body weight, that is just an added bonus. There isn't any scent or taste to this and it's not a thick oil, so it goes down easily. I'm going to start adding it to my husbands food as well, he needs to lose a few pounds, lol! I'll be back to update you in a few weeks and let you know about our progress

The bomb.com

If your like me and debating this product to add to your bulletproof coffee to help with your keto diet, stop debating it RIGHT NOW! I have never successfully reached ketosis until incorporating this product. The picture attached is of my ketone test strip on the morning of DAY THREE using this product. That's like half the time it normally takes to start showing traces. I'm in complete shock and full of utter excitement! I do one tablespoon a morning in my coffee and stay below 25g net carbs a day. Day one I did have some toilet hugging experience, but that's a small price to pay and hey, I feel a few pounds lighter. Day 2 I had a slight headache, or my version of the "keto flu" - no biggie. Day 3 as I mentioned, I am on the road to ketosis! I seriously believe these quick trace results are 100% due to this product and I'm beyond happy I made the purchase! Seriously though, for the price, quality and amount of product you get, you can't afford not to try it
