Micro Ingredients Organic MCT Oil Powder 8 oz

Overview

Micro Ingredients' MCT oil powder combines C8 MCT oil with prebiotic fiber in an 8 oz tub, marketed as a coffee creamer substitute for keto diets. It is unflavored, vegan and labeled free of GMOs.

C8 is one of the shorter-chain MCTs and is often singled out from a broader MCT blend because it converts to ketones more readily than longer-chain versions, likely why it is named specifically here rather than a generic MCT label. Powdering the oil with prebiotic fiber is what lets it dissolve into hot coffee without the oil slick that liquid MCT oil can leave, functioning as a creamer substitute. At 8 oz per tub, this is a smaller size than the company's 1 lb electrolyte product, sized more for trial or single-person daily use.

• C8 MCT oil with prebiotic fiber
• Powder dissolves into hot coffee
• 8 oz tub, unflavored
• Vegan, no GMOs, keto diet compatible

Who it's for

Keto dieters who want an MCT-based coffee creamer without dairy or added sugar, and who prefer C8-specific MCT over a generic blend, fit this product well. Anyone wanting a full-size, multi-month tub or a flavored creamer should compare sizes and flavors before buying, since this is unflavored at 8 oz.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

C8 MCT is the specific medium-chain triglyceride used here rather than a generic MCT blend, chosen because it converts to ketones faster than the C10 and C12 chains found in many MCT products. Powdering it with prebiotic fiber lets it mix into hot coffee without separating the way liquid MCT oil can, which is the practical reason to choose a powder over liquid oil for this use case.
