Bouwen Carrier Oil
60/40 MCT oil refers to a specific ratio of medium-chain triglycerides, containing 60% caprylic acid (C8) and 40% capric acid (C10). These MCTs are known for their efficient energy production and various health benefits.Using a 60/40 MCT oil blend (60% caprylic acid (C8) and 40% capric acid (C10)) compared to regular MCT oil for injections offers specific advantages. Potential benefits of a 60/40 MCT oil blend prepared for injection include:
- Enhanced Absorption: Caprylic acid (C8) is absorbed and metabolized more rapidly than other MCTs, facilitating quicker absorption and faster energy availability or delivery of the active ingredient.
- Reduced Inflammation: Caprylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties. A higher concentration of C8 may help reduce local inflammation at the injection site.
- Improved Solubility: The specific ratio of C8 and C10 can enhance the solubility and stability of certain medications or compounds in the oil, potentially improving the effectiveness of the injection.
- Balanced Energy Release: The blend of C8 and C10 provides a balanced release of energy, which can be beneficial for specific medical conditions where steady energy delivery is crucial.
- Lower Risk of Adverse Reactions: The specific blend might be formulated to reduce the risk of adverse reactions compared to standard MCT oil, which contains a wider range of fatty acids that might not be as beneficial for injection purposes.
What is EO and why doesn't Bouwen use it?
Ethyl oleate, an ester of ethanol and oleic acid, is commonly used as a solvent for injectable compounds, particularly in intramuscular injections. While generally considered safe for this purpose, there are risks associated with its use:- Immune Response: Ethyl oleate can trigger an immune response, potentially leading to systemic inflammation.
- Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions to ethyl oleate, ranging from mild skin irritation to severe anaphylactic reactions.
- Local Irritation: Ethyl oleate can cause local irritation at the injection site, leading to pain, redness, swelling, and inflammation.
- Sterility and Infection: If ethyl oleate is not properly sterilized before use, it can introduce bacteria or other pathogens into the body, leading to infections.
- Granuloma Formation: There have been reports of granuloma formation, which are small areas of inflammation caused by the immune system's response to foreign substances. This can occur at the injection site.
- Systemic Reactions: Although rare, systemic reactions can occur, including fever, chills, or other symptoms as the body responds to the injected substance.
- Viscosity and Injection Difficulty: The viscosity of ethyl oleate can make it more difficult to inject compared to other solvents, potentially leading to improper administration or increased discomfort.
- Embolism Risk: If ethyl oleate is inadvertently injected into a blood vessel, it can lead to the formation of emboli (oil droplets in the bloodstream), which can block blood vessels and cause serious conditions such as pulmonary embolism, stroke, or heart attack.
- Long-Term Effects: The long-term effects of repeated use of ethyl oleate as a solvent for injections are not well-studied, and there could be potential risks with chronic exposure.
Health and Safety Concerns
Our top priority is client health and safety. There are common misconceptions about steroids, often considered harmful to the body. Steroids are synthetic derivatives of either testosterone or DHT, both naturally occurring and crucial for overall function. While excessive amounts can be harmful, the same can be said for many substances, including multivitamins.Seed oils are highly processed oils exposed to extreme heat and chemicals during their extraction process, leading to oxidation. Examples include:
- Grape seed oil
- Cottonseed oil
- Apricot seed oil
- Ethyl oleate
These highly processed seed oil extracts are fats, which are stored in the cytoplasm of cells throughout the body. Oxidation in oils can have harmful effects, similar to how metal rusts and breaks down. Injecting highly oxidized oil into your system can spread inflammation to surrounding cells.
