Bulletproof Brain Octane® C8 MCT Softgels

Bulletproof Brain Octane® C8 MCT Oil in a convenient softgel format. Each capsule provides 100% pure caprylic acid (C8) medium-chain triglyceride sourced from coconut oil. 60 softgels per bottle. Gluten-free, soy-free, non-GMO, with no artificial colours, preservatives or flavours.

Dietary Note

The softgel capsule shell of this product contains bovine gelatin (animal-derived). This product is therefore not vegan and not vegetarian. The Brain Octane oil itself is plant-derived (from coconut), but the capsule shell contains animal-derived gelatin. Vegan customers may prefer Brain Octane Oil in liquid form, which is plant-based.

Directions for Use

Take 2 softgels as directed on the product label. Take with water.

If new to MCT oil: Start with 1 softgel per day and increase gradually. MCT oil can cause digestive discomfort if introduced too quickly — building up over a few days helps the digestive system adjust.

Refer to the product label for full guidance. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

Softgels vs liquid Brain Octane Oil — which should I choose?

The active C8 MCT oil is identical between the softgel and liquid formats. Choose softgels for travel, gym bags or convenient daily dosing without needing to measure or pour. Choose the liquid Brain Octane Oil if you mix it into coffee, smoothies or food, or if you prefer a vegan option.

What’s the difference between C8 and other MCT oils?

Most MCT oils on the market are blends of C8 (caprylic acid) and C10 (capric acid), with some also containing C12 (lauric acid). Brain Octane is exclusively C8 — the most refined and concentrated medium-chain triglyceride, and the most expensive to produce. Pure C8 products typically cost more than C8/C10 blends per unit volume.

Why is the source coconut, not palm?

Caprylic acid (C8) can be extracted from either coconut oil or palm kernel oil. Bulletproof exclusively uses coconut-sourced C8 due to environmental sustainability concerns associated with some palm oil production.

Should I take it with food?

MCT softgels can be taken with or without food. Some users prefer to take them with a meal to support digestive comfort, while others take them on their own. Consistency at the same time each day is more important than whether food is present.
