jonnyb27 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi, Forgive me if this has been asked already. Is MCT Oil allowed on the whole30 diet? Specifically I'm interested to try "Brain Octane" an MCT oil made by Dave Asprey, it's purely Caprylic Acid. Thanks!!Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmcbn Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yes, this is fine - although if you're planning on drinking BPC this should NOT replace any of your meals, and your butter obviously needs to be clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyb27 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 ok thanks, i'd be using it as a supplement to see if it helps with a neuro- inflammatory issue i have. so probably just taking a tablespoon or teaspoon of it right off the spoon at some point in the day, or mixing it with tea. so it wouldn't replace any of my meals, it would be separate from meals basically as a supplement. so that is ok to do? thanks again!!

jmcbn Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Yup, it's fine when taken in this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted January 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 28, 2016 You really owe it to yourself not to add a new supplement while doing the Whole30. If you improve, you won't know if the credit belongs to the Whole30 or the supplement. The risk is that you credit the supplement and keep taking it when it is not the reason you start doing better.

praxisproject Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Just as a heads up, some people also have reactions to MCT oils, but don't have them with more natural forms of MCT, like coconut oil (which contains plenty of MCT without being refined or processed).

Zenobia42 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 This is of interest to me especially in light of all the coconut saturated fat controversy thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
