A branded MCT oil powder designed for quick energy and better fat-soluble nutrient absorption.
It's a branded version. The MCTs inside are the same. Pay attention to the C8:C10 ratio, not the brand name.
Modestly, maybe. MCTs increase energy expenditure slightly and may reduce appetite. But they're still calories. It's not a magic fat burner.
MCTs are rapidly absorbed and can draw water into the intestines. Start with 5g and work up. Your gut adapts within a week.

Similar ketone production, but powder usually causes fewer GI issues since the MCT is bound to a carrier that slows release slightly.
For ketone production, yes. C8 (caprylic acid) produces about 3x more ketones than C10 (capric acid). C12 (lauric acid) barely produces ketones.
Coconut oil is about 60% MCT, but mostly C12 (lauric acid) which doesn't efficiently produce ketones. Pure MCT oil or powder is much more effective for energy.
Most research uses 10.0g daily. Below 5.0g, you're probably wasting money. Above 20.0g, no extra benefit. The curve plateaus. Safe upper limit ~ 30.0g.
Medium-chain triglycerides (C8-C12 fatty acids) bypass normal fat digestion, going directly to the liver for rapid conversion to ketones. Provides quick energy and enhances absorption of fat-soluble compounds.

Coconut oil · Palm kernel oil
MCTs are isolated from coconut or palm kernel oil through fractionation and distillation. For powder, the liquid MCT is spray-dried onto a carrier (usually acacia fiber or tapioca starch).
