Overview

NOW Foods Sports Nutrition MCT Oil softgels deliver 1,000 mg of medium-chain triglycerides per softgel in an unflavored, egg free formula labeled for the keto diet. The bottle holds 150 softgels, positioned under NOW's weight management line.

MCT oil is a fixture in keto-diet routines because medium-chain triglycerides are marketed as a faster-metabolizing fat source than typical long-chain oils. NOW packages that fat in unflavored softgels here rather than the liquid oil format the ingredient is more commonly sold in, trading a larger per-serving dose for less mess and no aftertaste.

  • 1,000 mg MCT oil per softgel, 150 count
  • Keto diet labeled, unflavored
  • Egg free formulation
  • Sold under NOW's Sports Nutrition weight management line

Who it's for

Keto dieters and those adding MCT oil to their routine who'd rather take a softgel than measure out liquid oil.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • 150-count bottle sized for daily long-term use
  • Unflavored softgel avoids the greasy taste of liquid MCT oil
  • Labeled keto diet compatible and egg free
What to check first
  • Softgel dose is smaller per serving than liquid MCT oil
  • No serving size or daily dosage guidance in the listing data

Performance notes

Medium-chain triglycerides are metabolized differently than the long-chain fats found in most cooking oils, which is the usual reason keto and sports-nutrition formulas favor them. Packing that oil into a 1,000 mg softgel means each dose is smaller than a typical liquid-oil serving, so anyone used to measuring MCT oil by the tablespoon will need more capsules to match that amount.
