Question 1

There's a lot of controversy over palm oil and orangutan habitats.  You list your sourcing as sustainable.  Can you elaborate?

Accepted Answer

UPDATE:We, Viva Naturals, have recently made the switch from palm-sourced MCT Oil to coconut-sourced MCT Oil; we have found coconut to be a more sustainable source of MCTs. Please note that the fatty acid percentages remain identical (60% C8 and 39.7% C10),  so now you get the benefit of having the same concentration from a more sustainable and widely used source of capric and caprylic acid.If you have any questions about this change, please feel free to contact me directly at vivian@vivanaturals.com.Sincerely,VivianViva Naturals Customer Care

Question 2

Can you tell me the ratio of C8 and C10 acids?  also is this strictly from palm kernal or is it from coconut oil?  thanks

Question 3

How does this compare to the bulletproof mct which claims to have 18x potency than coconut oil?

Accepted Answer

Look at the breakdown/ratio of fatty acids. Brain Octane Oil is strictly caprylic acid, which is a 8-carbon-chain triglyceride (C8). Most other MCT oils are a mix of C8 & C10 (capric acid), with some also adding C12 (lauric acid). Apparently since caprylic acid is only an 8-carbon-chain it absorbs quicker...

Question 4

is it produced without hexane?

Accepted Answer

I was going to ask the same question. I'm going to rephrase this question. Is this product hexane free yes or no?
