MCT Oil Gave Me Gas. So What’s the Cleaner Alternative?

You tried Bulletproof coffee for clean energy. But instead of flow state, you got bloating, reflux, and bathroom emergencies. You’re not alone. Many people experience digestive discomfort from MCT oil — even though they’re trying to do everything right.

Why MCT Oil Causes Gut Issues

Not all MCTs are created equal. Most MCT oils are blends of:

• C8 (Caprylic Acid) → fast, clean ketones
• C10 (Capric Acid) → slower, more likely to irritate
• C12 (Lauric Acid) → acts more like a regular fat

And because liquid MCT oil is highly concentrated, it can:

• Speed up gut motility
• Cause cramping, diarrhea, or reflux
• Leave an oily film in your stomach

This isn’t a “detox.” It’s your gut saying: this fuel doesn’t work for me.

A Cleaner Way: Powder + Prebiotics

At Focus Elite, we use:

• 99% pure C8 MCT in powder form → rapid ketone fuel, no gut shock
• Acacia fiber + inulin → 4g of prebiotics per serve, feeding good bacteria

No blender. No mess.. Just clean energy that respects your digestion. And because it mixes instantly, you can take it anywhere — train, office, café — without disruption. Your gut shouldn’t pay the price for focus. It should be supported by it.

“Soluble fiber like acacia supports microbiome balance and reduces intestinal inflammation.”
