| Coconut oil |
~50–60% MCTs, of which around 7–10% is C8. A rich whole-food source but dominated by C12 lauric acid. |
| Palm kernel oil |
A fatty-acid profile broadly similar to coconut oil; provides a mixture of medium-chain fatty acids. |
| Grass-fed butter |
~8–12% MCTs, providing C8, C10 and C12 alongside long-chain fats and fat-soluble vitamins. |
| Ghee (clarified butter) |
A similar profile to butter but more concentrated, as water and milk solids are removed. |
| Full-fat dairy (milk, cheese) |
2–10% MCTs, varying with the fat content of the product. |
