Spray-dried powder carrying a high-purity C8 (caprylic acid) MCT oil. The C8 content is ≥ 95% of total fatty acids — the narrowest fatty-acid profile in the range, and the preferred grade for ketogenic and fast-energy formulations.
When comparing C8 MCT powder suppliers, distinguish the powder’s total fat content from its fatty-acid composition. Our specification lists total fat at ≥ 70.0% of the powder and C8:0 at ≥ 95.0% of total fatty acids. These percentages use different measurement bases and are not interchangeable.

FAQ
What makes this powder “pure C8”?
The encapsulated oil is pure C8 MCT: caprylic acid accounts for at least 95% of total fatty acids, rather than a mixed C8:C10 grade.
C8 or C10 — why does the chain length matter?
C8 (caprylic acid) is the shorter of the two main MCT fatty acids; its narrow fatty-acid profile is why it is often selected for ketogenic and sports nutrition blends.
How is it different from the MCT 70% powder?
The MCT 70% powder carries a mixed C8:C10 oil at a 70% oil load; this grade carries pure C8 oil at ≥ 95% C8. Choose this grade for narrow fatty-acid-profile formulations, and the MCT 70% Microencapsulated Powder for standard solid beverage applications.
Is a liquid C8 version available?
Yes. The same C8 oil is supplied in liquid form as Glyceryl Trioctanoate (C8 MCT oil); the link is listed under Related Products.
Which applications suit pure C8 powder?
Ketogenic and low-carb formulas, sports nutrition, MCT coffee and creamer blends, clinical nutrition requiring a narrow fatty-acid profile, and solid beverages.
