Slower but effective
Switch coconut_oil to mct_oil
Flavor: More neutral and less coconut-forward.
Potency handling: Dose handling is similar, but liquid MCT is easier to portion precisely.
Texture: Thinner and better for droppers, capsules, and drinks than for gummies or baking.
Use when you want a pourable oil rather than a semi-solid carrier.
