Nutricost

This product delivers 10 g of pure C8 MCT (caprylic acid) per serving, a highly ketogenic medium-chain triglyceride that is rapidly converted into ketones in the liver. C8 is the most efficient MCT form for supporting metabolic and cognitive health, particularly in ketogenic diets or conditions requiring alternative energy substrates.

L-Leucine, Unflavored by Nutricost is a standalone amino acid supplement delivering 5 g of L-leucine per serving, a clinically studied dose shown to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support muscle mass, particularly in older adults and those engaging in resistance training. As a supplement, it is designed to enhance the anabolic response to protein intake or exercise, especially in populations with increased protein needs or anabolic resistance.

Nutricost MCT Oil provides 3,000 mg of medium-chain triglycerides per serving, primarily caprylic acid (C8), a rapidly metabolized fat that supports ketone production and energy metabolism. As a supplement, it is formulated to deliver clinically relevant doses for cognitive, metabolic, and gastrointestinal health benefits.

L-Leucine by Nutricost is a standalone amino acid supplement providing 2,000 mg per serving, designed to support muscle protein synthesis and combat age-related muscle loss. As a primary branched-chain amino acid (BCAA), leucine acts both as a substrate and signaling molecule to stimulate anabolic pathways via mTOR activation. While the dose is sub-therapeutic compared to most clinical trials, it may still offer benefits when combined with resistance training and adequate dietary protein.

This Nutricost supplement provides 500mg of pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and 40mg of calcium per serving. Vitamin B5 plays a key role in energy metabolism and coenzyme A synthesis, while the added calcium supports bone health. The B5 dose exceeds typical dietary intake and aligns with higher-end clinical usage, though evidence for specific health outcomes remains limited.
