I used amazon and ordered some MCT powder and Barlean's brand 'MCT Swirl'. I've used their 'Omega Man' for 3-6-9 poly-un/mono-sat and phytosterol supplementation.

Anyway, the MCT's sound like a good pre-workout supplement, because you don't want to be sitting around and not 'burning them off'.

If anything, it’s easier to make the argument that coconut, ghee, grass fed milk, and other foods should be greatly minimized because of the bad stuff that comes with them.
Especially cholesterol. All of the rich animal-sources contain high amounts of cholesterol.
Plants don’t produce cholesterol, so that won’t be a problem with coconut and the others. But still, they’re a lot of calories and should be consumed in moderation. Plus, just like the animal-sources, they still contain other types of harmful lipids.
In terms of nutritional value and benefits, the science seems to suggest that it might not be a bad idea to buy MCT oil and use it in lieu of coconut, ghee, and others.
There have been no studies to date for neurogenesis. The benefits for bodybuilding and weight loss don’t have enough research behind them to be conclusive. You can’t claim those yet, but there seems to be plenty of user reviews who feel that MCT really does work for dieting and boosting energy levels.
