Overview
Nutricost's C8 MCT powder is vanilla flavored and built with 95% C8 concentration, sold in a 1lb (16oz) container and formulated for keto diets, marked non-GMO and gluten free.
C8 (caprylic acid) is the MCT fraction most associated with faster ketone conversion compared with blended MCT oils that mix C8 and C10, and this product isolates that fraction at a 95% concentration rather than using a general MCT blend. Powder form is meant to mix into coffee or shakes without the oily separation liquid MCT oil can leave behind, though the allergen listing flags milk, likely from a dairy-derived carrier used to turn the oil into powder.
- 95% C8 MCT oil powder
- Vanilla flavor, 1lb (16oz)
- Non-GMO, gluten free
- Formulated for keto diets
Who it's for
Keto and low-carb dieters who want a specifically C8-heavy MCT source in powder form rather than liquid oil. Not suitable for anyone avoiding dairy, since the product lists milk as an allergen.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- 95% C8 concentration, the MCT fraction linked to faster ketone conversion
- Powder mixes into drinks without oily separation
- Gluten free and non-GMO
- Lists milk as an allergen despite being marketed as an MCT product
- Not suitable for dairy free diets
Performance notes
Powdering an oil requires a carrier to bind it into dry form, which is why a product built around C8 MCT oil still lists milk as an allergen. The 95% C8 concentration itself is unaffected by the powder format, it's the same fraction just delivered dry instead of as liquid oil.
