C8 Oil

Meaning

C8 Oil is a specific type of medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil predominantly composed of Caprylic Acid, a fatty acid chain exactly eight carbons in length. This particular chain length is metabolically favored for rapid, efficient absorption and swift conversion into ketone bodies by the liver, bypassing the typical lymphatic system processing required for longer-chain fats. It is strategically utilized in nutritional strategies to promote metabolic flexibility and provide a readily available non-glucose energy source for both the brain and muscles.
