Which oil is better?

[brutalbuilt]

i wish a source had macadamia nut oil as a carrier

thats the best oil you can buy

 

[BrockSamson42]

I used cotton seed and thay was by far the best for me, zero pip always and was from a pharmacy.

The best UGL oil o used , used a mix of coconut and I think cottenseed. That was seriously the best.

Aside from that though, MCT does seem to be pretty decent, and is the favorite for now. GSO does seem to have a great following too.

MCT is almost as clear as water plus no allergens as far as I know as MCT works fine for me and no reactions.

Plus, all the controversy about linoleic acid ("seed oils") in various carriers *when you're literally injecting them.*
MCT seems to avoid this altogether

Plus I'm lazy or impatient so fast/easy injection is high priority

I find some Vigorous Steve videos entertaining and very occasionally, educational.
He did a good one on carrier oils: C-Reactive Protein & Carrier Oils Within Pharmaceuticals – Vigorous Steve

I'm looking for the easiest oil to filter. So MCT would be great. I'll ask again what about allergies and bad reactions to it in people, because I don't do it only for myself?

Least allergenic compounds are those used by big pharma. USP grade sesame, peanut, cottonseed and castor oil

 

[BigTomJ]

yes if its a naturally inflammatory oil the gear doesn't change that..

thats why i try to avoid seed oils used as carrier oils

The "seed oil bad" bullshit is almost entirely unfounded.
they arent uniquely toxic or detrimental to any other source of saturated fats

AFAICT very few known allergies from MCT.

I started with cottonseed oil 20 years ago as that was the standard. Then moved to GSO. And nor use MCT. Better is in the eye of the beholder.

do more research bud

 

[BigTomJ]

do more research bud

"Mostly"
There might be something legitimate there but there hasnt been anything showing anything at all in any convincing manner.

Do better research bud, don't get your information from charletans and chiropractors

 

[DieHardLemon]

don't mean to hijack OPs thread but when people say they get a bad teaction to MCT what exactly do you feel? pip lasting for days or general inflamation in the target muscle, redness etc?

I am one of the people who react poorly to MCT and can't use it. It leads to inflammation, swelling , pain and hardness in the area for multiple days. It's essentially the symptoms of infection without redness, heat, or the actual infection obviously.

Yes I have no issues with MCT/GSO but I have the same reaction to EO and Mig840 but do get the redness and heat like an actual infection.

I'd pump the breaks here a bit. We don't know the difference between injecting "seed oils" vs consuming via diet. 10 or 100x worse or better? No difference?
Compared to saturated fat like MCT?

Well considering consuming them is already zero danger. 10x or 100x of zero is still zero.

Regardless you make a fair point, but the basic of the concern is still based on a incorrect conclusion that "seed oils are toxic".

I think it's fair to be concerned with the health impact of the carrier oil we are using, but it's important to not draw those concerns from those false claims

 

[Thorr77]

So how are you gentlemen? MCT is ok? Will it be better than GSO?

Depends

 

[Thorr77]

Depends

From what ?

 

[Deskoze38192]

From what ?

I use both GSO and MCT. Steering towards using more MCT because I like how thin it is. I also like MCT for higher concentrations because it has more co-solvent properties so I don’t have to use more BB.

 

[narta]

From what ?

What your body agrees better with. Mine agrees with castor oil so I use that.
