<em>Digestive Issues<\/em> at First<\/h2>\r\n    <p>Pure C8 MCT oil (caprylic acid) is unlike any standard culinary oil. While long-chain triglycerides (such as olive oil or butter) require bile salts and pancreatic enzymes for slow lymphatic absorption, C8 bypasses standard digestion entirely. It travels directly via the portal vein to the liver, where it is rapidly converted into <strong>clean ketone bodies<\/strong> within 15 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\r\n    \r\n    <p>However, this speed presents an initial physiological challenge: your gastrointestinal tract is unaccustomed to processing medium-chain triglycerides at such high rates. If ingested in excess before enzymatic adaptation, C8 triggers an <strong>osmotic effect<\/strong>: it draws water into the intestinal lumen, causing abdominal cramps, urgent loose stools, or mild nausea.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"highlight-box\">\r\n      <p>&ldquo;C8 MCT oil is not harmful to your stomach&mdash;it simply demands an adaptation window. Your liver, mucosal lining, and microbiome need 4 to 7 days to adjust to direct cellular fatty acid oxidation.&rdquo;<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n<!-- SECTION 2: GRADUAL DOSAGE -->\r\n<section class=\"section section-alt\">\r\n  <div class=\"container\">\r\n    <span class=\"section-eyebrow\">&#128202; Protocol<\/span>\r\n    <div class=\"divider\"><\/div>\r\n    <h2 class=\"section-title\">The Starting Dosage: <em>How to Build Tolerance<\/em><\/h2>\r\n    <p>Follow our three-phase protocol to guarantee total digestive comfort while elevating blood ketone levels effortlessly:<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"dose-grid\">\r\n      <div class=\"dose-card\">\r\n        <h4>Phase 1: Days 1&ndash;4<\/h4>\r\n        <div style=\"font-size:2rem;font-weight:800;color:var(--blue);margin:.4rem 0;\">5 ml \/ day<\/div>\r\n        <p><strong>1 teaspoon.<\/strong> Always taken with a meal or blended into your morning coffee.
