I normally use Garden of Life MCT oil but it is much more expensive so I decided to give this brand a try. This oil didn’t taste right.. it is most likely rancid or has an additive. It is more viscous and made both my husband and I sick to our stomach. In this case I’m going back to the more expensive brand. We can see and feel the difference. Beware this product is quite inferior or no quality control and it is rancid. What is NOW foods going to do to correct this? My neighbor also bought some and she got sick too!

I like this, but maybe it doesn't like us, my wife & I. Most times I took it, in my coffee, I was fine, but a few times I had stomach upsets, mostly just a stomach ache. My wife's response included diarrhea, so it was worse, & she stopped taking it. In general, I like it but stomach pain & diarrhea kinda' ruined it for us. I may try another brand, but not anytime soon. for now, we'll stick to coconut oil

I have ordered NOW MCT oil in a glass jar for years. This was shown as a glass bottle but arrived in a plastic bottle. I have read where things leach into the oil via a plastic bottle so I do not use plastic. I have mad 3 calls to this company WOOHOO with no return call. I tried to do a review on “their” sight and it blocks me. I have 30 days to return this PLASTIC bottle and cannot get a pre-paid return label since they will not return my call. DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!!!!!!!

I did not experience any benefit from using this product. I have used the entire quantity over several months. This does not come sealed, so it is also impossible to determine whether the product is safe or pure. I’ve used other brands and felt that they were beneficial, but this one did not seem to benefit me at all.

Love, Love, Love this product. We drink MCT oil daily in our shakes, coffees, and teas. We have been using NOW products for years now and love the quality and form they come in. This is a glass jar, not plastic. Large quantity for a fair price. We could buy it a bit cheaper at local brick and mortar store but not this brand. We will continue to consume this daily and continue to order this wonderful product.

On the keto diet, down 22 pounds in 5 weeks, and MCT is part of the equation. Can't really separate which parts of the diet are more effective, but I'm keeping this in the rotation. As some others have mentioned, start slow and get used to it. I too had a close call on my second day using it!

My Doctor and Awakening from Alzheimer's said this is a good alternative to other oils, also Organic Coconut oil for salads
and very low heat under 300 degrees F when cooking. Both are good for smoothies. One table spoon for each smoothie.
Coconut oil needs to be warmed up or it will leave small chucks in the smoothie. One or two table spoons in the microwave
for 15 seconds will do the job. Coconut oil becomes solid at below 75 degrees F.
Thanks
Conclusion
Numerous studies suggest that substituting MCT Oil for other fats in a healthy diet may therefore help to support healthy weight and body composition.
