How Much Power Meal Should I Take?

A full serving of Power Meal contains a tremendous amount of nutrition and comes out to 44g, which is approximately 1 full scoops. However, because Power Meal contains MCTs, you should start slow to allow your digestive system to adjust. Sometimes if MCTs are introduced too quickly into your system, loose stool and gas can occur. To minimize potential discomfort, we recommend you begin with a ½ scoop at first and work your way up to a full scoop.

How is MCT Oil Different Than Coconut Oil? Isn’t Coconut Oil Mostly MCTs?

Coconut oil contains 62-65% medium chain triglycerides, or MCTs. However, there are 4 types of MCTs and there is an important metabolic difference between them. MCTs are a form of fats with carbon chains between 6 and 12 carbon atoms long, C6, C8, C10, and C12. The most impressive health and energy benefits come with caproic acid (C8) and caprylic acid (C10), which comprises Power Meal's MCT oil ingredient. These are absorbed directly into cells and converted into the bioenergy currency of ATP in only 3 steps. Lauric acid (C12) is processed by the liver, not directly by tissue cells like C8 and C10 MCTs. Thus, while it is technically an MCT by name, it doesn’t metabolically behave in the same way as the others.



Lauric acid is the predominant component of coconut oil, typically about 50%. C8 and C10, by comparison make up 6% and 9%, respectively. Lauric acid still has plenty of health benefits, and coconut oil is a very healthy fat, but MCT oil has a much higher concentration of C8 and C10 and therefore gives you much more energy.



I thought I was not supposed to take PerfectAmino with fats or oils, but Power meal contains MCTs?

The reason PerfectAmino is recommended to not be taken with other protein, fats, or oils is because these can significantly slow down the absorption rates into the the blood – usually taking only around 20 minutes after ingestion. This is part of how PerfectAmino can provide such powerful performance-enhancing benefits. The presence of other macronutrients will trigger different digestive processes that slow the passage of material into the small intestine where absorption occurs. MCTs, however, are not typical fats. They are absorbed very quickly and do not slow down the digestive process.
