Question: what is the difference between caprylic acid and mct oil?
Answer: The short answer is that regular MCT oil contains all four medium-chain fatty acids (C6, C8, C10, C12) at varying concentrations [*], while C8 MCT oil is 100% pure caprylic acid (the C8 fatty acid). ... That's because caprylic acid (C8) seems to be the most metabolically active medium-chain fatty acid [*].
