I have used Coconut Oil and found no benefit. I recently tried MCT Oil sold by NOW. It is a natural pure concentrated Coconut and Palm Oil. It purports to enhance energy. I tried one tablespoon twice during the day. I got surprising benefits. I am on Carbidopa-Levodopa 25-100 12 pills a day. The pills work adequately until 1PM. I start shuffeling when I walk and the pills are less effective the rest of the day and I have little energy. Yesterday I took 1 TBSP of MCT at 1PM another around 6PM. I walked without shuffeling, had more energy and the MCT seemed to enhance the Carbidopa-Levodopa. This is only one day and I am not advocating anyone try it but I am asking if anyone else has tried it and what they experienced.

I am currently taking Nature's Way coconut oil, which has 62% MCT oil. Other than having more energy, I haven't noticed any other benefits yet. I also am on CL 25-100, but take 3 pills a day. Just ordered the MCT oil by NOW and will start taking it once it arrives. Will post any changes I experience.
