MCT, does it absorb properly ?

[EMPERADOR]

Hi guys
Ive noticed that you often use MCT as a carrier oil,
I always thought that Synthol is basically MCT oil,
Whats your thought about it then ? Does the gear on mct oil hit you same way as something normal like gso ?
Thanks

it's all preference, the people I know that have used mct oil blends wont use anything else if they can help it

ok, but obviously we all know how synthol works, so if mct is synthols main ingredient well that makes it a bit controversial in terms of gear absorbtion, unless synthol isnt really mct ?

Do we actually know what synthol is made from? Seems to me this is something the manufacture would keep a closely guarded secret. Maybe its been repeated so many time that it is mct that it is just now accepted that it must be that?

I'd like to know as well if the absorption rate with MCT oil is the same, or similar as GSO.

In my experience, I do get knots frequently, but I don't think the MCT is the reason.

I dont think in 21 century composition of anything can be a secret well not something as simple as Synthol, Im pretty sure synthol is basicly MCT, all diffrent makes may be adding some ingriedients like silica or colagen but for most is just MCT + BA
I guess it cant be too bad as a carrier oil cause guys all over the world are using it and its fine but Ill stick to gso+eo
