NOW Foods Sports Nutrition, MCT (Medium-chain triglycerides) Oil 14 g, Weight Management, Liquid, 32-Ounce

As another reviewer had mentioned, I also read a review of the benefits of MCTs. My purpose in getting it was for my 93 year old mother who has dementia. Although we had been making progress with her using other supplements, all of this came to a screeching halt when she got shingles on one side of her face and in her eye, and then got a super bug UTI from the hospital she was admitted into. In the 6-8 weeks that we battled her illnesses, she became incontinent, slept almost all the time, became unable to walk, and couldn't eat solid foods. All of her foods had to be liquefied so she could swallow them. Getting her to swallow any supplements was completely impossible. After almost 8 weeks of little improvement, I read the article about the benefits of MCTs. I had coconut oil on hand. So I ordered this MCT oil, and the next morning, my husband added a tablespoon of coconut oil to her liquid oatmeal. Surprisingly, I received my order for the MCT oil that day. So I added a tablespoon to her fruit and veggie smoothie and to her "soup" in the evening. The next morning she was more alert and awake for a longer period. Again, MCT oil was added to her liquid meal at 3 different times. By the end of the day, she was walking more on her own, watching TV, and went to the bathroom without us asking her if she had to go. Tonight, the second day, she was trying to talk again, and was laughing for the first time in 8 weeks. So, is it co-incidence that this happened after less than 48 hours after taking the MCT oil and the coconut oil? With all that we have gone through with her, I don't think so. As with most supplements, you will not feel a difference unless you have a "real" problem that the supplement happens to help. In my mother's case, I believe that the MCTs in the MCT oil and coconut oil have made an almost miraculous different in her.I also tried a tablespoon of this MCT oil in my fruit and veggie drink and noticed increased energy the same day. I truly believe this supplement is beneficial for extra energy, for dementia, and it is also supposed to help with weigh loss (can't vouch for this). I would highly recommend this product for the quality and for the low price for a quart of it.UPDATE:I thought I might also add that I have used this oil in bread recipes with great success, and also for salad dressings. I usually get the 4-pack offered on Amazon by XSNonline to save money.

A cure for Alzheimer's? Not exactly but it does provide amazing results. We discovered the use of coconut oil and MCT oil on a website: [...]which tells the story of a doctor whose husband has Alzheimers. She had remarkable results with giving him this oil three times a day. So, we tried it too along with coconut pills and coconut spread. We also are seeing remarkable improvement's in my mother's dementia. It may not work for everyone, but it's worth checking out.There are virtually no side effects other than diarrhea if you take too much too soon. It's pretty much tasteless and can be added to food or beverages. Gradually adding it to the diet is recommended.How it works in a nutshell is that it provides the brain with ketones/triglicerides that the body is no longer producing enough of and sends it directly to the brain, bypassing the liver. It is the adding of these ketones that feed the brain what it is lacking. The side effects of these ketones are less confusion and more memory retention, and patients have remarked that after taking this it is like "turning the light on" in the brain. You can see minimal results after two hours of the first dose. And improvements continue the longer a person takes it in gradually increased doses. You will be completely convinced of its effect if you use it for a month then take it away for a week. Of course, you may have to start all over in smaller doses, but if it is working, you will definitely know. I've personally started adding to my coffee each morning (I'm 42 years old and a diabetic and new studies link Alzheimer's and diabetes)Baby formulas have MCT forms added because it helps the brain develop and pre-mature babies have been getting it in one form or another since the 60's because of it's effect on the developing brain.Go to that website, read the research. Check it out for yourself. If it works for you, please spread the good news.
