Tastes great in hot beverages and more easily tolerated by my system.
This is an interesting convenient supplement I found while researching the benefits of the ketogenic diet approach to cancer treatment, especially Dr. D'Agostino interviews on YouTube. The more ubiquitous MCT oil products give me the runs and stomach aches unless taken in smaller amounts with food but this is more easily tolerated by my system. When you taste this directly in its powder form, it tastes similar to lighter powdery coffee creamer. In your coffee/tea, it tastes pretty much like a light creamer so it actually enhances the taste of the beverages. I could take the supplement on air travel as well since it's in powder form, but I do wish the price were lower since it's so much more costly than the MCT oil brands for equivalent grams per serving (7g fat vs 14g in oil). I'm taking MCT supplement to help my brain functions since I'm a bit insulin resistant after years of being a borderline prediabetic (now under control, being less sedentary, cutting refined carbs, and eating beans helped). MCT directly fuels your brain and my head keeps clearer and focused for much longer. Studies show MCT holds promise for Huntington's, dementia, and Alzheimers, and it makes sense given that some call Alzheimer's the diabetes of the brain where it can't effectively metabolize glucose for fuel, whereas ketone bodies provide an alternative fuel source to improve cognitive function. Give this supplement a try if your brain keeps getting foggy, as MCT allows for ketone production by liver and bypasses the digestion process to directly fuel your blood stream. Cancer cells can't utilize ketones for fuels, so this is a great supplement to try while restricting sugar/glucose or carbohydrates if you're battling cancer while restricting calories and in nutritional ketosis.
