Coconut oil has been touted for its topical, “off-label” beauty benefits for decades. It’s one of those O.G. multi-purpose products able to transform from a basic cooking staple into a damage-reversing hair mask, a DIY makeup remover, and can even double as an all-natural deodorant.

There are four different types of MCT oil, distinguished by the type of acid: C6 , C8 , C10 , and C12 . Each type offers different benefits, and has a level of efficacy based on how pure it is. C8 is the most pore and effective form when it comes to brain function and weight loss because it stimulates the production of ketones the quickest compared to any other type of fat. C10 is the next runner-up, and is a great option for those looking to combat hunger and boost fat burn.

Caproic Acid C6 is shortest chained fatty acid of the four options, meaning it converts to ketones the quickest. While this will in fact, aid in weight loss and hunger suppression, it’s also associated with the most risk of upset stomach and loose bowels. If you have an iron stomach, opting for a C6 may work for you, but I suggest easing into it you decide to embark on this route.
