Overview

['NOW Foods sells this as a caprylic acid MCT softgel, delivering 600 mg per softgel in a 100 count bottle. Caprylic acid, also known as C8, is one of the individual medium-chain triglycerides found in coconut and palm kernel oil, and this listing isolates that single compound rather than blending it with other MCT types.', 'At a price near 12 dollars, this sits at the budget end of the MCT category, and the softgel format is a simple swap in for anyone who prefers a capsule over a liquid oil poured into coffee or a shake. The listing itself does not spell out a specific stated benefit, diet certification or flavor, so shoppers looking for those details will want to check the current label.', "Buyer response has been strong, with a 4.5 rating built from about 3,000 reviews and roughly 1,000 units reportedly bought in the past month. As with any supplement, it's worth talking with a healthcare professional before adding a new one to your routine, especially if you take medications or have digestive sensitivities."]

Performance notes

This is a softgel supplement delivering 600 mg of caprylic acid (C8 MCT) per softgel, packaged 100 to a bottle. It isolates a single MCT type rather than blending several, and the listing does not list a stated flavor, diet certification or specific marketed benefit.

What buyers say

A 4.5 rating from roughly 3,000 reviews, together with about 1,000 units reportedly bought in the past month, points to a steady, positive track record for a budget priced softgel option. That volume suggests the product reliably meets basic expectations, though individual results with any supplement can vary.

Frequently asked questions

What form does this MCT supplement come in?

It's a softgel, with 600 mg of caprylic acid per softgel and 100 softgels per bottle. There's no liquid oil or powder option in this specific listing.

What is caprylic acid?

Caprylic acid, also called C8, is one of the individual medium-chain triglycerides naturally found in coconut and palm kernel oil. This listing isolates that single compound rather than blending it with other MCT types like C10.

Is this a good fit if I want to add MCT to my coffee?

Not directly, since this is a softgel rather than a pourable liquid oil. If you specifically want to blend MCT into a hot or cold drink, a liquid oil product would be a better match.
