The liquid coconut oil from Natures Way states that it is 93% MCTs, what percentage is Carrington Farms?

I called Carrington Farms. They wouldn't comment on "the other company's" % which I wasnt even asking about because Nature's Way clearly states this information on their bottle. They also said they don't release that information regarding their % MCT's. I find this to be a shady answer and will not purchase from this company for that reason.

Is this the same as purchasing MCT oil?

This is not a full MCT-oil product; MCT oil is made up of only capric (C10) and caprylic acids (C8). In one TBSP, which is 14 grams of oil, MCT Oil has about 6.2 grams of capric acid and 7.8 grams of caprylic acid. You don't have other non-MCT oil fatty acids in a pure MCT oil.This Carrington Farms coconut cooking oil product has .7 grams of lauric acid (C12), 4.6 grams of capric acid, and 3.7 grams of caprylic acid. This means it is 60% MCT oil, having 5 times more MCT oil content than coconut oil. Lauric acid is what gives Coconut oil its white color, distinctive taste, and solidity at room temperature. .7 grams is not enough to make this oil white, add the coconut flavor, or solidify it at room temperature. This product also has about 5 grams of other fatty acids, which are long-chain fats (C14-C20).Regular coconut oil has about 6.2 grams of lauric acid, 1 gram of capric acid, and .8 grams of caprylic acid. That's about 13% MCT oil. The other 6.2 grams are made up of other fatty acids: Long-chain fats (C14-C20).The question is what do you want to get out of this oil? If you are looking to raise ketone levels in your bloodstream, the different oils do this in a different ways. Coconut oil does not raise ketone levels in your bloodstream as high as MCT oil does. But the coconut oil does provide a more sustained, but lower, level of ketones for a longer period than MCT oil. (This means the body does convert some of the C12 into ketones after your liver processes it.) And if you were to use a product like Bulletproof Coffee's Brain Octane Oil, which is 100% Caprylic acid, you would get a much higher dose of ketones, but shorter lived than both standard MCT oil and coconut oil.If you are looking to raise ketone levels but aren't too picky about it, this Carrington coconut cooking oil is fine. If you want a ketone surge for a burst "performance" of brain function, then use Brain Octane Oil or some other pure C-8 Caprylic Acid. And if you can find a good deal on standard MCT oil, then buy that.

What is the difference between this and therapeutic grade coconut carrier oil?

I do not know the difference, but I can tell you I've been using food grade coconut oil for my carrier oil as it's safe on the skin and less expensive plus I can use it in cooking. All around win for me. With family members having skin problems and sensitivities, I use this for moisturizing and it works great, with essential oils added or just plain.

How does this product stay liquid at room temperature? Coconut oil is usually a solid at room temperature.

Not sure how they do it but it does stay in the liquid state. The label indicates it can be used for sauteing and baking in temperatures up to 350 degrees, which is probably why it evaporates so quickly when sauteing at high temps and I have to add more oil to the pan. I think it's worth it for the health benefits, since it is a healthier oil than soybean, canola, or olive oils.
