Caprylic acid, or C-08, makes up 70% of BUBS' MCT oil powder. After ingestion, C-08 quickly converts to ketones for a fast-acting clean energy source. Unlike long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), MCTs don't have to be broken down into smaller molecules and can reach your liver quicker. Basically, your body doesn't have to work as hard to metabolize MCTs so you get your energy faster. | Your brain runs off of fatty acids. The ketones your body produces from MCT oil and C-08 are able to quickly pass through the blood-brain barrier and fuel your central nervous system. Studies have shown that higher blood ketone levels can improve memory in those suffering from impairment. The takeaway is C-08 feeds your brain and boosts your mental clarity. | Fats make you feel fuller, longer. A diet consisting of healthy fats including MCTs keeps your body satiated and reduces your desire to snack. At the same time, MCTs are a saturated fat which your body burns very efficiently and is less likely to be stored as body fat. MCTs increases your body's efficiency in insulin-mediated glucose metabolism, which is an appetite stimulant. By increasing your MCT intake, you decrease your insulin production, and therefore you're less hungry. | Capric acid, C-10, constitutes 30% of our MCT oil powder. MCTs attack harmful bacteria like yeast and fungi because they are natural antibiotics. They remove the bad stuff without decreasing any of the good bacteria in your system. At the same time, healthy fats like C-10 help your body absorb vitamins and minerals. Simply put, C-10 boosts your immune system and keeps your GI tract happy. |
