Home brewers.. MCT vs GSO ?

I used cheap mct from walmart and that shit was SO painful then I went and got the good mct oil and that shit was SMOOOOTH as buttered silk lol, even test-prop turns out absolutely pip free. The quality mct oil is amazing stuff!!!

I will try to send you a pic of tje brand I've been using.. it's lab grade usp..
 
Haha. Funny thing is. Only time I heard of castor oil is with nebido.

Yeah but Nebido is crap... I mean, who the fuck wants to inject 4cc once a week or some shit. F that.

I dunno, I'm still on the fence about it... I have some pre-made Test E in MCT coming this week and if I don't react badly to it, then that's what I'm going with.
 
100% I will not use grocery store mct.. I'm site lots of guys and even labs use it and it works.. but I get a lab grade quality.. sterile/filtered.. it's thinner and clearer... after you add bb and a little ba.. she gets really thin..
I know alot of people get reactions from it but I really want to make a small brew with miglyol 840.. it's a tad thinner.. and is supposed to hold hormones really well.. just for a personal experiment.. hard to find in small amounts though and it's not cheap..
I'm very partial to GSO. It's simple, cheap, effective, and just about all the local grocery stores carry it. It has worked for me for the past 8 years. Convenience is important to me so I figured I would ask.

Why not grocery store bought MCT oil? Some of my high end grocery stores sell high quality MCT, not bottom of the barrel Walmart stuff. You mention it comes pre filtered and sterile. To me, it's a moot point as I filter all my home brews twice. Overkill sure, but I prefer erring on the side of caution.

Any canucks have a G2G MCT brand recommendation?

You can use high quality grocery store.. lab grade is just usp grade.. I find it's thinner.. and it's sterile and prefiltered.. which I know we filter.. but the clean the oil is to start with.. the longer the filters last before clogging from impurities.. that's how it was explained to me.. hogh.quality products = high quality ingredients..
Here a pic of tje one I use

One of the advantages of MCT over GSO is the shelf life. Although after adding BA and storing in vials I wonder whether GSO's shelf life is extended.
 
For me as a newbie brewer the thing that puts me off GSO is the short shelf life.
MCT has a shelf life of like 1/2 years, GSO is supposedly in the months.

Edit: damn @nightisyang you were in my fkn head haha
 
I think once in the bottle it'll last for years. Least I hope.

That's what I heard and it makes sense but it can be more fragile to heat fluctuations and what not.
If MCT works well for me next week, then that's what I'm going with in the future.

If not, it'll probably be castor oil or GSO.

I used now brand from Amazon , what brand you using ?
 
GSO is a polyunsaturated oil with vitamin E. It is very gentle when coming in contact with skin, doesn't clog pores and is absorbed rapidly.

MCT being a saturated oil tends to clog pores, can irritate skin.

I'm gonna be honest with you and here's the ultimate test.

Beat off with GSO and you'll have no problems at all, your skin will be well conditioned and in top form.

MCT on your dick is gonna cause irritation and cause the skin to break down, clogging pores.

Whenever in doubt about a carrier oil the "dick test" is the gold standard of what oils work best.

From the dick test I've ruled out Olive Oil(virgin to refined), mct, mig840, avocado. These are all mono and saturated fat oils, they'll eat your dick up.

Oils that are polyunsaturated that your dick will love is Sunflower Refined and the best is GSO. Without a doubt GSO is the best of the best and that's why it's not only the dick butter of choice, it's the best injection carrier as well.

I never start a brew without first making sure it passes the dick test.

Jet what constitutes “quality” MCT? (Legitimate inquiry)
 
i can tolerate MCT if i preheat it. but shooting mct in cold always results in a massive welt the following day

i dont know if cold MCT oil settles differently in the body or what in a bad way, but preheating it seems to do the trick

or maybe its just more common to have allergic reactions to MCT contra the traditional carriers
