NOW Sports MCT Oil Review

We were pleased to see that this product contains C8 and C10 compounds, which are the most effective elements of MCT Oil. However, we are highly doubtful of the commitment this brand claims to have towards the environment. One of the sources of this MCT Oil is palm kernel oil. Palm kernel oil is derived from the kernel of the fruit from the oil palm. Although palm kernel oil appears in an extremely large amount of products - from food and cosmetic products to dietary supplements - there are many environmental problems that occur because of it. Palm oil is the number one cause of Indonesian deforestation and because of that, destroys habitats and promotes climate change. It also produces large amounts of wastewater which release copious amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas even more harmful than carbon dioxide. Environmentally conscious consumers everywhere are making concerted efforts not to buy any products containing palm kernel oil.

Another negative point against this product was the deception customers experienced upon receiving their orders. Consumers purchased what they thought was a 3-package deal only to find out they really only ordered one bottle. Additionally, the bottle is advertised to be made of glass, however, consumer upon consumer received plastic bottles of this product. There is a money-back guarantee which is valid for 30 days, but it only applies to unopened bottles so consumers don't have the option of trying it to see how it works.

Bottom Line: We are not sure if NOW Sports MCT Oil is effective due to the false advertising and the unethical treatment of the environment. We would have liked to see a stronger money-back guarantee and more positive reviews from people who have used this product to better understand whether it works well or not.

Is NOW Sports MCT Oil Safe?

This product contains natural ingredients and is considered a safe herbal supplement if it is taken according to the proper manufacturer's recommendations. Consumers who have taken more than the recommended dose have notice GI issues and distress. We suggest you always check with your healthcare professional to be absolutely sure.

The main concern with this supplement is that it is derived from palm oil. While it won't cause harm to your body if you take it correctly, there is damage done to the environment with this source of oil. Also, if people do not get the results they are looking for they may be tempted to take more and suffer from serious GI distress. Always, stick to the manufacturer's recommended dosage.
