Bulletproof Brain XCT Oil-c8-c10. Manic Energy

[Deleted member 5487]

Does anyone have experience with this stuff? It's sorta dangerous.

For me it provides almost a manic like energy, serious feelings of invisibility, and explosive strength. I went to the gym, followed by sprints and i'm not sure I've ever ran that fast.

Is it displacing PUFA/FFA and oxidizing into pure ATP?

Any Idea what's going on?

It's oxidizing into pure ATP. MCT's don't need a carnitine transport to get into cells which would be downregulated on a high carbohydrate diet. It's one of the main reasons Ray Peat likes coconut oil.

Can you explain why it would be down regulated on a high carbohydrate diet?

the way i saw it was, anything to increase metabolic energy is good. And since MCT oil goes directly to liver to be used as ketones, thats an extra energy source to aid in metabolism. and it isnt the dangerous ketones either (where cortisol is used to convert fats to ketones).

Alright that's cool. But the Lauric Acid in CO makes me feel terrible by lower the 5-ar

Stick to the MCT oil but only use a smaller dose.

How much did you use?

How do you know it lowers your 5-ar? Do you have any vivo studies showing that it lowers 5-ar in humans?

I heard recently that all MCTs (C8, 10 & 12) increase gut permeability, and are used for this purpose in research and drug delivery, etc, though I welcome anyone with a better understanding of these things to explain why this isn't a problem.

@Amarsh213 coconut oil is always bad for you currently if I may ask?
