I used to drip MCT oil into my coffee every day, believing it would make me sharper 🐧

☕ Why I started
MCT Believer

There was a period when I was really into MCT oil made from coconuts, almost like I believed in it.

Tired Brain

Doing desk work all day tires out your brain, and I wanted a body that never got tired.

The Oil Tank

I heard that people have an energy tank from sugar and one from oil, and sugar only gives about a thirtieth of what the oil tank does. So I heard oil was better for focus.

Every Day

So I started dripping MCT oil into my coffee and drinking it, every single day.

🤢 What actually happened
Upset Stomach

My stomach was upset constantly. Every day.

Self Investment

One bottle cost about 3,000 yen, which is expensive, but I bought it thinking of it as an investment in myself.

Did It Work

Whether it actually gave me more stamina for desk work, I honestly could not tell. I have heard that olive oil is good for you. But for MCT oil, the science does not seem to be clear yet.
