FAQs
What is MCT oil and why is it used in Bulletproof Coffee?
MCT oil is a supplement made from medium-chain triglycerides, a type of fat that is quickly absorbed and converted into energy. It helps enhance mental clarity and supports sustained energy without the crash.
Can I use regular butter instead of ghee?
While ghee is preferred for its higher smoke point and purity, you can use unsalted butter as a substitute. Just be aware that butter contains milk solids that some may want to avoid.
