For Dietary Supplementation "1/2 tsp first time using it. Within a half hour, I was throwing up, burning up to the point I took my clothes off, laying on the floor, felt like I was dying. Bad stomach pain and diarrhea. Had to take the day off work. Finally felt better a few hours later."

For Dietary Supplementation "I started taking MCT (medium chain triglycerides), and within a couple of hours, I thought it was the end of me! The stomach pain was the most intense I have ever felt! I threw up for hours until the MCT was out of my system. I am taking what I have left back to Costco for a full refund!"

Medium chain triglycerides for Dietary Supplementation "Took the recommended minimum dose of 1 teaspoon, and within 20 minutes, became dreadfully ill. I experienced horrendous stomach pain and started vomiting, very frightening indeed. Eventually, after a few hours, I suffered diarrhea and felt cold and shivery the whole night long. I still felt stomach pains the next day. Definitely would not recommend."
