In this video, we’re going to talk about the differences between MCT oil and coconut oil.
MCT oil is an oil made up of medium-chain triglycerides. Another name for MCT is medium-chain fatty acid.
There are three main categories of fatty acids:
• SCFA - Short-chain fatty acids
• MCFA - Medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs)
• LCFA - Long-chain fatty acids
With MCT oil, you only get medium-chain fatty acids.
Coconut oil is made up of 15% MCTs (and 45% LCFA).
In summary, MCT oil is 100% MCTs, whereas coconut only is only 15% MCTs.
What are the benefits of taking MCT oil? The primary benefits are:
• Fast digestion and absorption
• Converts to ketones quickly
• Great for people without a gallbladder (doesn’t require bile salts)
• Boosts energy
• Supports brain
• Helps reduce insulin resistance
• Reduces hunger
The benefits of coconut oil are:
• Great for cooking because it doesn’t smoke when it gets hot
• Increases HDL cholesterol
• Great for skin
• Helps lower plaque
• Supports the immune system
• Digests slowly
You can add MCT oil or coconut oil to your coffee or salad dressing, or you can take it directly.
Make sure you introduce MCT oil to your diet gradually, so your body gets used to it. Taking too much too quickly can cause digestive problems.
If you’d like to add MCT oil to your diet, give my MCT oil a try and let me know how it works for you.

The difference between MCT oil and coconut oil is about $8.00!
That's where I found the bad cholestorel was hiding!
So sad.
@@DifferentSaturner ?
@@DifferentSaturner Where??
@@martinlouden9005 In that hidden cost!
@@DifferentSaturner There is no "bad cholestorel."
I just had 2 tsp of MCT to break my 1st 48 hour fast. It was easy as I was not home so I never had food cross my mind once lol😅. Didn't even feel anything. Thanks to Ketones. Truly amazing.
Way to go Sam!
😆 😆😆😆😆😆😆
@@chomperthefirst533 Thank you so much🙌🏻
was 2 teaspoons? or tablespoons? And during the fast what did you do to keep fast, feeling well?
Your information is so clear and researched based. I have forwarded one of your videos on using bile as a supplement for shoulder pain and fibromyalgia and my doctor was surprised to hear what you shared, and gave me a thumbs up on getting your bile supplement. I am so pleased that I can count on you for researched information and products!
Thank you Dr. Berg so much! As always you deliver relevant content get straight to the point and deliver the facts and such a relatable way with such an amazing bedside manner. Thank you so much for being gentle and helping me to learn so very many things. You are a great teacher of Wellness!
YES ... I am benefiting from your short instructive videos. Keep up the good work. Ross
I have taken your advice over the years and learned so much , Thank You
Dr Berg thank you so much for answering my question. You have no idea just how helpful and kind your videos are tytyty
I found that putting both the MCT oil and coconut oil helped my digestive system tolerate the MCT oil better. So I always combine the two. Plus, The coconut oil adds a nice flavor to my coffee. I cannot tolerate dairy in my coffee. It aggregates my GERD and gives me a acid reflux cough that is really annoying.
Could you share your measurements for MCT Oil and coconut oil? I to get indigestion when just having the MCT oil in my coffee.
@@lindareed1374 I found that I could only tolerate smaller amounts like 1 tsp of each, rather than the tablespoon that a lot of people add. Plus I’m just not a fan of super oily coffee. I blend it of course, but I drink it slow so it does let the oil sit at the top again. But at 1 tsp of MCT and 1 tsp of coconut oil, I don’t have any issues. And I might do 2 cups of coffee with that amount. You could start there and experiment with increasing it by small amounts and see how your body responds. It’s easy to find your upper limit with MCT oil though lol. Your body WILL tell you. I’ve done just coconut oil in higher amounts with zero issues, but it’s the MCT oil that I have to be more careful with. I wish I didn’t because that’s the one that gives you the extra ketones, more brain power, and energy and all that. But combining it with coconut oil definitely helps me.
Thank you Cher, I will try to use only 1 tsp of MCT oil and add the coconut oil and hope this works because I agree it gives me that boost I need to stay in my fast.
I have been healthy but added MCT oil, which I purchased from my health food store, based on general recommendations. My LDLs and triglycerides were high after about two months on this product. My HDLs have always been high, around 60, and I attributed this to olive oil. My other labs were normal, including my CRP. The only difference in my diet was the addition of the MCT oil. It seems to be the culprit.
I love how coincise you are in delivering useful information
Dr Berg thank you so much for all of your you tube lectures!! I have learned so SO much from you. I am so grateful for you!
You're very welcome :)
Thank you Dr. Berg I’ll give it a shot and you have helped me so very much. You are a blessing
Very glad to be of help.
You're a blessing in my life right now
Very glad to be of help.
Always appreciate your teaching. I hv learned so much. The u from Texas. Be blessed All.
I started fasting after watching one of your videos about 6 weeks ago. My belly fat has reduced very quickly with little effort. This is life changing. TY
Thank you for the explanation it is so much easier for me to listen to your explanation than wade through all the info on the internet. Love these short infoclips.
Very glad to be of help.
I learn so much from your videos & I have hope now.
Thank you Dr berg for your valuable video and add free content.
Very glad to be of help.
Good breakdown, thanks for this
Very glad to be of help.
Ive been using mct and its enabled me to fast for thirty hours this week. It also helped me move from 16:8 IF to 18:6 with ease.
How do you use it
DIFFERENCE? MCT is a "refined".... Coconut is "Natural" and not eliminating the benefits of Short chain and Long chain fatty acids.😊
I used to take 1-2tsp of MCT-oil. You're definitely right about starting small. Personally, I don't know if it was the MCT, the coffee or the increase in ketones, but I got stressed out and a serious headache. Powerful stuff!
I learn something new every time I watch Dr Berg's videos... Thanks for your hard works Doc.
Very glad to be of help.
Just love you, Dr. Berg. Such a good Dr.
Hey Dr. Berg :-). I have benefited from every video I have seen from you. Clear and detailed always.
Just so you know :-).. Thank you and God Bless
Dr Berg you're a wealth of information & knowledge
Thank you! It is nice that there are still Doctors one can trust! Please don't change!
Just about what I was waiting for😊
Dr Berg waiting for your research on fungi networks on soil, growing your own food etc
Lost a lot of weight without effort since adding oils and salts back to my diet. My body stopped storing fat! No keto just lost the 'crap' from the diet, moved more, added meditation and now am back to my long standing weight of 10 stone 10. @ 6 foot in height. Good energy levels
Sugar is my issue. Next to beat I only have it in tea, but... Several of them. I am weaning off tea by adding green tea to black tea, to alter the taste to favour a move to green tea. Now I have water kefir, that could change!
i just add cocao powder to my greentea to give it flavor. if u gotta add sweetner use small amounts of either raw honey or non glycemic coconut sugar. im surprised dr Berg hasnt done a video about coconut sugar
What oils do you use?
I love the part of meditation. I did that also. Understanding and feeling your emotions, rather than hiding from them or omitting. Being yourself and with yourself. I noticed that "storing" emotions caused, in my case, storing fat. When I started meditating regularly, my body just opened as my emotions went out to be felt.
I didn't have a big problem with weight though, just over 8kg. But visually, like 15kg since my muscles were weak. Now proportions changed. I'm stronger than ever, both mentally and physically.
@@solekhashuwa i no longer eat seed oils...instead i use organic veg/animal fats like grassfed butter , fresh avocado, icelandic cod liver oil (mixed with pure essential oil of choice like mint)
@@solekhashuwa watch Dr Esselstyn talk about seed oils
Great info, thanks.
I'm glad you liked this post.
Thanks Dr. Berg your the Best❤
Thanks Dr Berg. I think that explains why MCT oil can be used (with coffee) as a meal substitute.
In Tibet they drink their tea with butter -- you could add it to tea...
@@AveryMilieu A good idea! Thank for the info.
I appreciate it very much. All these knowledge that you share with the public thank you very much.
heey Doc .! great all the Subjects and research u're taking over..🙂🙏 thnx 4 all . and i'd love to hear about ARGAN OIL too as most of poeple don't know that exist..so is there any benifits..comparing to the other oils..?
thnx a lot ..and respect🙏🙏
Dear Dr. Berg, thank you for all these mini lessons which really help enhance our life.
Thanks Dr. Berg!
I was wondering if eating the coconut itself would be more beneficial than the extracts? Thank you as always Dr Berg for all the wonderful information you share with us🙏🙏🙏
Of course it would
Thanks Doc, just want to say your helping the world be a better place. Not to mention healthier so thanks for that...
I have dropped down from 230 to 186 by making slight changes that you described. I have three favs that I follow and, actually four, and always cross reference with your videos for the breakdown. Computer dude to writer I have benefited from your channel. I’m a veggie guy though, meat messes with my tum quite a bit. Thank you kind sir.
Awesome job! When and how do you take MCT?
I've been using coconut oil for oil pulling in replacement of mouthwash works great kills bad breath ill try the other u mentioned thanks
Thank you so much 😊
I’m wondering is MCT oil extracted using heat? Thank you for all your great videos.
My first experience with MCT oil was more than 20 yrs ago and I had no idea how good it was...then i stopped but I prefer coconut anyway...I made some good guesses I suppose
How you doing Doc & thank you for sharing. 🙏🏾✌🏾🐢🤙🏾💚's
Very glad to be of help.
my parents both have early stages alzhiemer and my father has prostate cancer that has spread to his bones and elsewhere,i have stareted giving them 1 tablespoon of coconut oil mixed with honey,is this alright or should i get them some MCT oil to take and if so how much should they take ? i have also started giving my dad 2 apricot kernels to take each day,am i doing the right thing ? thank you DR, you are amazing.
Thank you Dr.Berg
I like i like i like ❤❤❤👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
What’s the best MCT oil please any suggestions? Are welcome thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you!!
How do I sign up for the course Dr berg. I love your YT channel.
For anti virus and microbe I'm going with coconut oil
Refined or virgin coconut oil is good. Please do a video as refined oil has less smell and taste of coconut but which is good for keto ?
Dr. Berg, can I mix MCT Oil with Collagen Peptides in my morning coffee? And what type of ratio, if permitted? I am about to try some keto smoothies, I am hoping to include both. Thank you for all the great info. Love the shorts. My journey to health continues 😃
That's a great idea!!! Only collagen breaks your fasting. Bullet proof coffee does include MCT oil and I'm told that doesn't break your fasting....🤔

Hope it helps answer your question!
@@Drberg Thanks Dr. Berg, the info will definitely help me on my Keto/IF journey 😉 All the best!
@@maryfolks9368 Hey I am taking collagen with no net carbs so 10% Protein for satiety to continue my fasting. I hope you are doing well on your journey, thanks for your comment, really appreciate it 😊
@@onyx368 the one I use is Vital Proteins collagen peptides. It says it has 70 calories, 18 g Protein and 110mg Sodium but doesn't list the carbs. Maybe it doesn't have carbs? Lol. Anyways if it's possible to get my collagen in my bullet proof coffee in the morning...I'd be a happy camper. I keep forgetting to drink my coffee w/collagen when I have my OMAD. Thank you too for your response. I'm still trying to educate myself on what works best for me but I have lost 23 lbs in less than a month and that's with all the mistakes I keep making. I have a tendency to over complicate things🤪 lol
Nice video thanks
thank you, dr. berg... usually i have an Espresso with MCT. Today i had a cup of coffee and in lack of mct I used coconut oil. boah 😰 now i understand, why my liver reacted so hard and felt badly swollen in due to my gallbladder-isue
Hello doctor, I would like to ask you is it true that combining fish with milk causes skin irritation, I am very afraid of irritating my skin because I combined them in the morning 😫
Thanks Dr Berg.
You are very welcome.
What about Grapeseed oil?
Is it Keto compliant?
Thank you 🙏
I take a supplement of MCT oil 120 mcg and D3 5000 IU. I can't eat coconut oil cause it makes me nauseated. The supplement doesn't. Do I need more than 120 mcg of MCT? Thanks Doc for your videos. I am hooked on them..lol Love and blessings to you and your's.
Thank you!💛
You're welcome!
Can I use mct if my triglycerides are high?thanks John
Sir please make a video on anterior pelvic tilt.
Thank you for the video suggestion. I will check with Dr. Berg about doing a video on this!

Thank you Dr Berg as always you are appreciated. Looks like MCT is needed for IR are you able to do both? Also its been stated that Coconut oil helps with bones ?
I suspect that MCT doesn’t have the antiviral effect that regular organic extra virgin coconut oil has. from my experience, but I think you’re right that MCT is good for certain things like gall bladder issues, my mom uses MCT and has a gall bladder issue
Mct = vco
@@doraKitty23 vco?
And the whole makes one cup of coffee last half the day.
@@lia-liz2012 virgin coconut oile thinks.
Dr.berg, please help
which one is better to fight candida and toe nail fungus?
Been listening to you for years I’ve change my eating habits listening to you I went from 280 to 206 three male 64 years old. And I look pretty damn good now LOL
I thought coconut oil was 40 - 50% lauric acid - which is almost considered a long chain FA, because it’s C12 - and then the rest was MCT’s like capric, caproic and caprilic acid - this last one being C8 - the most ketogenic of all MCT’s.
They vary (MCT oils). Some are only C8, and some are C8 + C10.
Excellent
MCT is great on salads, easier to digest than olive oil.
I may have to try this. I've been using a combination of EVOO with a little bit of Primal Kitchen ranch for my salads. I've always loved ranch dressing, so was thrilled when I discovered PK ranch
MCT gave me a great start for Keto, then moving into IMF. Allows you to extend your fast. For me it's an A+.
How much did you take in the beginning and how did you consume it?
@@ParkerCharlesGabriel Just a table spoon in coffee.
Thank you very much
You're welcome!
Hey, if I’m adding fat to my diet (keto, counting calories) by either adding MCT oil or butter, which one would be better? Or should I do a 50/50 split between the two?
Dr. Berg can You tell us how to consume these products, You explained everything except for that.
Thanks.
In another video you said coconut oil breaks down the outer coating on viruses ( paraphrased ). My question is since MCT is from coconut will it do the same thing ? If so does it do that more, less, or the same as coconut oil ?
Thanks, yes the price is indeed high.
Sounds like I should take both MCT oil and Coconut oil to get all the benefits. Can I take them together with food?
That's Amazing doctor. 😊👏👏👏😊🙏🙋♀️💙
Glad to be an inspiration.
I've been watching Dr. Berg videos for 2.5 straight hours now. I'm completely addicted. Dr. Berg, what do i do about this addiction?🤣🤣🤣

I just about 3 tsps and it does a body fabulous!
How do you consume it and how often?
Is MCT oil refined?? Coconut oil can be found virgin/extravirgin, cold pressed and unrefined... And since nutrients are preserved in unrefined oils, not sure of the MCT... Any opinion on this?
@karin E Alvarez Of course MCT oil is refined. Keyword is “extracted”! Probably safer to stick with coconut oil unless one is sure of the method of extraction.
I have been using MCT oil in my coffee for over a year, but lately I get indigestion after drinking my coffee. Is there something else to get my ketones up. My morning test is only .4 of less. Thanks in advance for any comments.
I’ve been using Dr. Bergs MCT oil in my coffee & have found that I don’t get the jitters from the caffeine 😊… plus all the other benefits
That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

Hey doctor, can you talk about post COVID-19 exercise? How long do we wait before starting to workout again and what intensity? Thank you in advance.

Doc, does it have to be refrigerated after opening ? I purchased it manily for brain health
Is MCT oil recommended only if you are in keto ? Thanks
Can I take MCT with black pepper and cloves tee, what is the benefits?
I’m confused @dr berg in the previous video about the benefits of coconut oil you stated that coconut oil has 70% MCTs and in this video you say it only has 15% MCTs, so which is it?? 🤔
Sources for MCT oil. Can it be bought off the shelf. Never heard of it.
dr berg , please talk more about palm oil , so many propaganda about palm oil being unhealthy fat which is untrue.

What is better for remaining in a fasted state WITH COFFEE? Coconut oil or MCT oil?
What about information about Mct oil causing allergy sensitivity??

Please reply, if you may, can MCT oil be used for cooking?
Does it have a high smoke point, or how is it?

do not heat MCT oil...just add to food as is

So even coconut oil (virgin or non-virgin) should not be heated?
