So I have a question for you. Why are people that are using the quote MCT method for extracting CBD and CBN or THC for that matter adding lecithin to the mix and how does that increase the potency or absorption or whatever you would call it
Awesome information! As a side note, some manufacturers also call it MCT Oil / MCT Coconut Oil / Mid Chain Triglyceride Oil, etc. instead of fractionated coconut oil. Great Video!
Coconut oil is something I don’t think me or my wife really use around our house but it does sound like a great product to have I’m my beard oils. Thanks for the lesson trusted teacher!
Please tell us whether plastic containers actually leaves plastic residues in these oils. Thank you.
What is the Best supplement to help All other supplements have High Absorption?
Coconut Oil? MCT? or Bioperine (Black Pepper)? Thanks
I bought mct oil pills at wal mart 90 cap one a day. I took one and feel great
I use it for my cannabis oils, What is faster adsorbing virgin coconut oil or mct oil, Do anyone know…..
Please do a video talking about peppermint essential oil, I’ve read some studies that says that 5% peppermint essential oil has the same effect as 3% minoxidil is that true?
what about Coconut Manna-aka Coconut Butter. I am getting confused as to wether or not I’m hurting or helping myself
Sweet Angel
I don’t want to tell people my secrets as to why I’m looking so cute
…JK, I do tell people about you
This video as very helpful for me.
Thanks
❌⭕️❌⭕️❌⭕️
Great job Mr DC One of our favourite oils. We use an organic cold pressed version to make healthy nut bars and an amazing Thai coconut wild rice dish ✌
Hi Dr. Tod, your thoughts on this would be appreciated. Does MCT transport LPS (Lipopolysaccharides) across the membrane which may add to someone who’ve had a heart attack and or heart disease.
The Documentary ” THE MAGIC PILL”… changed my life! I beg EVERYONE who sees my comment to watch it. Thanks to my friend on FB told me about it or I’d never know. It’s all about KETO and miracle stories.
Doctors, farmers, chefs and others weigh in on the controversial ketogenic diet and its potential to eradicate common illnesses.
Wifey and I are on 1000mg MCT capsules, C8, C10, a day. No ill effects.
Is there any benefit to lauric acid? why would you want to get rid of the medium chains?
LDL is an antioxidant, the liver makes it to deal with inflammation for a good reason.
After I use it at night I give my dogs a spoonful. It actually helps them with itching. love the info❤️ I have never tried fractionated but will now.
Great video, I don’t care for coconut for anything other than a pinata colada in the summer. Pure coconut oil is supposed to be really good for reversing gum disease and slowing tooth decay through a process called oil pulling.
I’m not sure what I understood from this, what’s good what’s not
very informative video! thanks! have you checked out Neossance Hemisqualane??
I think Better Body Foods in Lindon UTAH sold at Wal-mart is snake oil, bottled in plastic, cheap bastards.They have a big B on the bottom of the bottle, in a heart. Is that BPA, and BPS free? It tastes like plastic. its claims 90% MCT’s. I may be wrong.
The Difference Between Fractionated and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Are they bio-available after processing? What kind of chemicals are used to process? Did they show to have any benefits?
Omg I’ve totally been using dōTERRA FCO to top off my capsules when I take oils internally … I’m guessing when I go read the bottle it will say it’s not for internal use but seriously I saw other advocates do it and then just assumed that’s what FCO was for… yikes! I’ve gotta be more careful. Thanks for the great videos!!
I have never used coconut oil on anything except an ingredient in my beard care products. Great info and keep that coming. Always learning new things from you, Dan!
Thank you so much for that quick yet informative vid. Really appreciate it
okay you sold me with FCO. I’m gonna buy it as my carrier oil.
Bearded pupils…did anyone else picture tiny eyeballs with tiny beards?
Would also be interested in 101 vid on MCT oil. Wonder if better / different for skin/beard than coconut. Thx!
Can you use fractionated coconut oil in the glass roller bottles for your lips as a moisturizer like a lip gloss?
Good video! I love coconut oil and just ordered one like yours but not the same brand as i always use the one from my kitchen which gets annoying:) cant wait for it to arrive
Excellent report. This a great compliment to the extensive testing and reporting you have done on olive oils. I’ve been a subscriber/member of Consumer Lab for many years and I’m very pleased with your reports on supplements and foods. Thanks for providing a valuable service!
Very obvious question was not addressed: do you personally use it on your face and isn’t it too greasy there?
Good video:) Very informative. I just started using it for my hair.
I have always loved coconut oil. I will definitely look up this brand. I use it for everything as well.
I can’t believe I”ve never heard of this stuff, thank you, Amber! I’m definitely gonna buy some of the brand you recommended! xoxo
Another tid bit of amazement!!! I was under the impression that fractionated was a bad thing. Man wrong again we use coconut oil regularly at home, we cook with it, use on the dogs coats, and i have used it in my homemade beard balm. But it was not fractionated and now it makes sense as to why it was greasy and more like a butta and not a balm?!?!? I know now for the next attempt to use the other type!!!! Thanks again for another great video
hello Doc can i mix pure neem oil with fractionated coconut oil? thanks hoping for ur reply
i heard the difference between fractionated coconut oil vs mct oil is that fractionated coconut oil comes from coconuts and mct oil comes from coconut kernels? or can mct oil come from both
Always remember the daily dose limit:
3 table spoons is OK. Like 3 spoons of sunflower seeds per day, which is a regular dose of seeds to eat on the daily basis. Could amount to a lot over the year.
I use it for essential oil rollers. I am excited about using it as makeup remover (if my sensitive skin will allow for me to start using some eyeshadow lol). Also was using just coconut oil for my hair but this is a good idea. I had 1/3 or more of a bottle leftover after making my essential rollers and now I have a use for the rest of the bottle!!
Hey Dan I’m trying to find a beard oil /balm that smells like green Irish tweed from the creed cologne company it’s my absolute favorite scent and I don’t want spray my beard with cologne lol. Have you ever smelled the cologne I’m talking about? It’s amazing to me
I have a question Dan if coconut oil doesn’t mix well with body chemistry will the fractionated oil do the same thing?
Could you use fresh rosemary rather than rosemary essential oil? Also other alternatives you recommend other than avocado oil
Cheers for that Brother, been looking at adding this to my home made carrier blend but wasnt sure. Great to have someone I trust to give me the advice i need. Am looking at putting Aloe Vera oil into my carrier blend but cant find a beard type review anywhere on this. Any chance you will be doing one in the future?
Great video. Someone from that fourth hour must have gave that thumbs down. We’ve used coconut oil in the past for lots of things from lotion to cooking to cleaning teeth.
hey dan im new here ive seen a few of your videos and thank you for your teaching my beard is 7 in now and used nothing till a couple weeks ago your teaching has really helped me and my beard looks and feels great because of you thank you
Could you make a video of ingredients to avoid and look out for?
I do not buy expensive, rip off beard oil but the natural BEST product for my beard, coconut oil. We live in Vietnam where its in abundance. I love the smell too. Thanks for the vid.
My wife and I cook with coconut oil. It adds a bit of sweetness so it works well with the right flavor profile. If we aren’t using this we cook with avocado oil.
What if you just use reg coconut oil and dissolve it in your hand and put in your beard? Also coconut butter w vitamin E?
Coconut oil really has many uses. We have an English Mastiff that sometimes gets tears on her pads from walking. It does wonders for her and completing safe for her to lick at.
I am on the keto way of eating and use coconut oil, coconut butter, coconut milk coconut flour and my favorite MCT oil which sounds a lot like the fractionated coconut oil you are talking about. It is very versatile and good fatty acids
Great video I use eden coconut cleansing co wash it’s great
A lot about chains, but nothing seems to tell me whether there is any value to this stuff.
Nor if it presents significant cardiac risk (coconut oil not highly recommended, as I recall). Its this, or the huckster’s Miracle Spring Water.
I eat coconut oil one spoon early morning and one spoon before sleep and it changes my skin and all body system from inside it’s a magic it cleans your body from all viruses ❤️
Great info!!! My wife puts it in her coffee. Tons of great benefits for the body and mind
My wife has over 20 years of experience in making skin care products and said coconut oil clogs pores. So, why is it used in oils and balms for beards, since clogged pores isn’t what we, as beardsmen, want?
Beautiful, thanks for sharing sir. Good to know creating “fractionated” coconut oil is done through natural methods. Understandable how some may see fractionated and assume negatively. Solid video
Thank you for your time in making this informative video regarding the different nutritional information of these types of Coconut Oil products. I was trying to compare if the MCT oil from that type of oil product is better than Olive oil, but I’ve realized that Olive oil is much better, healthier, and cheaper than those MCT oils.
You truly are the trusted teacher! Lots of great information in this series. Keep up the great work buddy.
FYI, I want to see a video on all the beard hats, shirts, etc you have picked up.
Human body does not metabolize cholesterol from food we eat. Big fairy tale told for decades by ivy league medical universities. The body produces cholesterol by itself very small amounts is taken from food we eat. Bad cholesterol comes from carbs not saturated fat
Is Hexane used to extract MCT. Is fractional distillation making healthier MCT. How to find out if traces of Hexane are not present in MCT??
I have a fairly thick and full beard, but one problem I’ve always had is the hair around the corners under my chin always break off to a stubble length. Only in that spot is it coarse and wiry. I notice a lot of Pili Multigemini (wood hairs) in that same spot too. Any help?
hello my bearded brothers!! i hope my brothers have a good day!!!
What an epic beard. You should do a 1 year beard growth time lapse.
Dan another awesome video
I’m really enjoying your carrier oil series, it’s been very interesting and educational
Keep up the great videos!
Dan, thank you for the info in this series. As I’m hoping in the near future to make some of my own beard oils, this is KEY! Fragrance is great but having a solid carrier oil base is a MUST! This series has been a great help. Love your videos, amigo. Keep ’em coming! Peace & Love
Hi I will be making my own CBD oil. The cannabinoids bind/infuse best into MCT oils is what I hear; coconut oil was recommended. But after watching this vid, I am unsure which will be my best option. Can you please advise. Thanks
Hey Dan, really interested with this 1 as for the past month my night routine has been to melt pure organic coconut oil in my hands & work into my beard, leaving it in overnight & rinsing out in the morning. What are your thoughts on doing this? Is this a good thing? For me the beard feels soft, skin is good & it’s way cheaper than using oils or balms. Your beard is looking magnificent btw!
I use it in the beard products I use. Sometimes for cooking but whatever you cook in it will taste like coconut.
You are telling us what are these oils but nothing about the effects on health…
Why do guys keep trying to say that its a dht blocker and will stunt beard growth?
My wife loves cooking with coconut oil, ive never used it in my beard, things that people cook with, i tend not to used as a beard product, but i’ve always knows coconut oil is good for hair and skin, ive always wondered if olive oil could be used in a beard, or is that strictly only for cooking? lol all though i would never even try
Brother I knew when you did the research on this oil you would love it. I cook with this oil, use it as a skin moisturizer, in hair treatments etc. I love to use the unrefined, cold pressed,extra virgin oil thou in my own beard oil. I find if I use too much coconut oil by itself it actual has a drying affect on my beard so I guess ( for me anyways) you can have too much of a good thing. Thank you for these videos, these videos would have been a wealth of knowledge for me starting out. Have Sam make you some cookies using coconut oil it does great with baking
Awesome class!!! My friend..always enjoy your take and effort you put in to our community
I apply fractionated oil on my lashes and they sting when they get into my eyes.. should i rinse this off? or will my eyes be fine if i don”t (i apply this at night btw)
Great video brother! We use both of these oils in different products and fractionated coconut oil is definitely way easer to use when making product. Also where many people use glycerin I like to substitute fractionated coconut oil in its place. Great info for consumers, keep up the great work!
I’ll put coconut oil in/on my beard before going running on the really cold winter mornings.
Well I did it. Now you can be happy again. I bought beard butter today. Eager to try it.
Thanks again teach. I really use this mic dropping knowledge you keep dropping on us when selecting products. So far I luv everything I have selected. Keep em coming All knowledgeable one. …. Heres an apple for the teacher
DanC!!! Another great video brother. I’ve used coconut oil on and off at night but never really consistently. I do like it and have thought about the deep condition hot mask as well but haven’t tried it yet. Anyways gotta get back to the grind before someone realizes I’m not working lol. Stay bearded brother
Another great class! Glad to see the “fractionated” prefix on the ingredients list isn’t a cause for panic. This series has really been helping me pare down my bookmarks folder of beard care companies to shop from.
Probably the most “out there” thing I’ve used coconut oil for is my cats. Whenever they have a minor skin abrasion something they might wanna scratch, for example it does for them what it does for us humans, but with the added benefit of them being able to lick it off safely (and of course they do).
I’ve been using FCO for many moons for beard conditioning, cooking, my morning bullet coffees, skin lotion to name a few.
Great class Dan C!
I keep a backup of coconut oil, tea tree oil and argan oil to mix together for a bedtime beard oil. It works really well and is pretty inexpensive when you need something at night and are on a budget. I have used coconut oil in the past for cooking but it made everything have a hint of coconut taste. While I really do love the taste of it, I also understand it’s not for everyone.
We use coconut oil for quite a few things. Use it a lot in cooking and baking…works great for an awesome wheat/gluten free chocolate chip cookie! We also use it as a carrier oil if applying essential oils to the skin like lavender or peppermint. Works really well!
I use coconut oil in a variety of different day to day things including my dog . Helps with fleas and skin conditions for them! Great video Dan C and keep them coming!!!
I’m just learning about essential oils. I am a diabetic and trying to get into the cinnamon oil to help diabetes. I’m excited to learn about the roller bottles. Thank you for showing me that. It will really help.
Great video as always. Never knew much about this before and glad I do know. Off to go study for the final exam!
What are your favorite coconut beard oils,did you try the coconut mask, and do you have a specific brand of pure coconut oil you prefer
I use virgin coconut oil to make “fat bombs” for my keto diet. A cup of coconut oil and chocolate protien powder and some peanut butter. Put it in the freezer you got low carb peanut butter cups.
Thank you for the wonderful review Amber, those are awesome uses for fractionated coconut oil!
Awesome video with great information. Thanks and have a great day.
I never used coconut oil untill I got with my gf. We use it cooking and on the kids for rashes. Weird that you can eat what you put on you kids but it works.
At least 16 years ago I started with -‘KRILL OIL’ -my CHOLESTEROL was over 6, in 1 bottle,90 pills, Cholesterol was down a WHOLE point down to 5.0
Have added Coconut oil, and Baby Coconut Water, with pulp. John in CANADA
My wife uses Coconut oil for baking fried eggs skin care and in her hair. There’s probably other uses that she’s uses it for. Those are just some off the top my head.
Teaching and Preaching!! Love this series, keep them up! I have never used coconut oil other then in beard oils. I’m not a huge fan of the coconut scent. Just to sweet for me. Great vid and keep them up. Cheers buddy!!
Always learning something new with these videos. Keep them coming. Really dont use coconut oil besides in beard. I use olive oil in the kitchen. Beard on my brother. Enjoy your Sunday.
I used to use fractionated coconut oil when I first started growing my beard because my wife had tons of essential oils, it worked pretty well. My wife also uses in on the kids dry hands and small cuts to help them heal.
The Difference Between Coconut Oil and Fractionated Coconut Oil
My barber suggested this as a leave in conditioner for my hair. I’ve been using it for a few months now and really like it.
Would MCT oil derived from caprylic acid provide the same benefits in fighting bacterial and fungal infections. Caprylic acid is sold in pill form but I found this in my search for caprylic brands. There is no indication anywhere about this being the case. Yet the active ingredient is caprylic acid. I appreciate any feedback that would answer this question. Thanks.
Another terrific video. I didn’t know the difference, but now I do! ❤
Most healthy people consuming MCT don’t know it’s a saturated fat. Excess MCT clearly raises LDL. Since MCT impact liver pretty quickly your best bet is to consume lot less than recommended and do your workout, adjust accordingly based on your energy levels. I recommend MCT 3 times a week, the days you work out for normal weight people. If you are doing MCT for weight loss you can ignore this message
Thanks for sharing tips about how you care for your beautiful hair. Can you please tell me why you recommend FCO for hair masc and leave on conditioner instead of Argan or other oils? Also, what would the best alternatives to rosemarybe for someone with epilepsy? Thank you!
Where does fractionated coconut oil land on the comedogenic scale?
I absolutely love Fractionated Coconut Oil! We proudly have it as a main carrier oil in all of our products.
I experience the FCO going rancid after 2 hours on my skin. Is it my skin type unsuitable?
