Keto on the Go has never been so easy!
No more "oil slick coffee or MCT oil mess!
MCT Oil is a very powerful nutritional supplement. It can help you lose weight, boost your energy, crush cravings, and make it easier to get your body to burn fat for fuel. The problem is, MCT Oil is very hard to take on the road, it's messy and gets on everything. Many people dislike the way MCT Oil rises to the surfaces of drinks, creating a "oil slick at the top".
The SpecOps® MCT Keto Shakes and are a convenient way to get your MCT on the go, without the mess or "oil slick" experience.
The Fire Team Whiskey SpecOps™ Shakes comes in individual serving size packets (so you don't have to lug a big jug or bag around with you) and you don’t need a blender! Just tear open one packet of SpecOps® Shake, pour into a shaker bottle with ice and 8-12 ounces of any liquid. Shake it up and enjoy! Of course, if you have access to a blender, play with some ways to change up the flavor with nut butters, extracts such as almond, mint or vanilla, or cocoa powder.
No messy MCT Oil spills to deal with. SpecOps® Shakes and make it easy to take your MCT with you on the go.
WHAT IS MCT?
Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) is a healthy fat derived from coconuts (basically a condensed coconut oil). MCTs are an ideal source of fat that create a source of energy called ketones. Ketones are a very efficient and long lasting source of energy and are produced almost instantly by consuming MCT. Ketones generate a strong thermogenic effect in the body (i.e. metabolism boosting and fat burning). Best of all, unlike the energy you get from carbohydrates and sugars (glycogen), ketones cannot be stored as body fat! There are many health benefits associated with consuming MCT. Here are just a few below!
HEALTH AND FITNESS BENEFITS OF CONSUMING MCT
MCTs Aid in Weight Loss
Several studies in both animals and humans have shown that MCTs increase the body’s ability to burn fat and calories. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7072620
In humans, MCT consumption for 4 weeks induced energy expenditure, fat burning and body weight loss. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4882694/
Studies performed on cells showed MCTs reduces the conversion of excess carbohydrates to fat. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4882694/
An analysis of experiments showed after 3 weeks of MCT consumption or more participants had reduced body weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, total body fat, total subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat compared to LCT. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4882694/
MCTs Can Enhance Exercise Performance
It has been shown that consuming food containing MCTs instead of LCTs for 2 weeks increases duration of high-intensity exercise in recreational athletes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19436137
MCTs Can Improve Cholesterol
MCTs lowered LDL/HDL ratio, total and HDL-cholesterol; improved cardiometabolic profile in obese individuals. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4882694/
In humans, natural sources of MCT, like coconut oil, along with low calorie diets led to reduced LDL cholesterol and increased HDL cholesterol. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19437058
MCTs Can Reduce the Symptoms of Diabetes
One study showed that diets rich in MCTs increased insulin sensitivity in adults with type 2 diabetes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1568535
A different study on individuals with type 2 diabetes showed that MCT supplementation improved diabetes risk factors as well as reduced body weight, waist circumference and insulin resistance. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17570262
MCTs Can Benefit the Brain
MCTs have been shown to improve memory compared to placebos in individuals with mild cognitive impairments. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26675661
MCTs have been observed to improve cognitive status, especially women, those without diabetes type II, and severe patients. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26667739

ONE NOTE ABOUT CONSUMING MCT FOR THE 1st TIME
If you have never used a MCT Oil product before, or have not used one in a while, we recommend starting with consuming only half a serving for the first few days. Some people experience stomach irritation when they first start eating MCT Oil based foods. There is no cause for alarm, but we want to help you avoid any discomfort. Take it easy and do half servings until your body gets used to this very powerful and complex fat. After a few days of consistent use, your body should adjust and not react with stomach irritation any longer. If the MCT Oil causes you severe stomach pain or nausea, we suggest starting with a tablespoon serving then increase by a tablespoon each week until you reach a full serving size.
