It depends...are you looking for overall health benefits or strictly energy? Lauric acid has nice immune benefits, but it's the longest of the "medium" chain triglycerides at 12-carbons and is thus the slowest and least efficient at creating ketone bodies.
If you want pure energy, I'd look for a product with a low or non-existent amount of Lauric acid and focus more on Capric and Caprylic acid.

The lauric acid is 50% of the total amount of fatty acids in most coconut oil.

It fits in my diet as a fat replacement when on keto and functions similar to a carb aiding fat loss.

Cool! Do you feel that your getting energy from it also or is it more a fat burner for you?
