MCT capsules

How many should you take a day?
Can you take them whenever or do they have to be with a meal?
If you take them you still keep taking fish oil capsules too. (I was recommended to take the latter by my Pharmacist.)

    I've never heard of capsules, but I take MCT daily with fish or krill oil. They're different fats with different benefits. So I'd take both.
    I usually take 1Tbs MCT in coffee. The one I use has 13.8mg caprylic acid. And I take 1000mg fish oil that contains 600mg omega 3.
    I add the MCT to my coffee and have them both in the morning. I almost never eat breakfast, instead having the fatty coffee.

    I take 2 T. MCT oil in coffee per day and 3.5g of fish oil in capsule form.

    Ok thanks! I ordered the oil too. I got the capsules on Amazon. I'll continue on with fish oil - good to know.
