HelloPharmacist Scorecard of 100% Pure MCT Oil by Purely Inspired

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Medium Chain Triglycerides” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (14 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: medium chain triglycerides (the MCT oil itself, provided as a blend) and caprylic acid. Caprylic acid is a naturally occurring fatty acid that's part of the MCT makeup.

The product also contains medium chain triglyceride oil as an inactive ingredient to deliver the actives.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: sustained energy for keto and paleo diets.
  • We looked for evidence on: Energy metabolism, Ketone production, Fat adaptation.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

We hold effectiveness data only for caprylic acid, and it shows insufficient reliable evidence to support its use for epilepsy or essential tremor. The evidence we have on file doesn't establish how well this product works for any claimed purpose.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Caprylic Acid

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Caprylic acid is recognized as safe in food amounts, but supplement doses haven't been studied as thoroughly, so the safety profile at higher doses isn't as clear. Short-term use appears well tolerated.

The most common side effects reported are mild stomach discomfort and changes in taste. A small number of people have reported mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue.

Regarding pregnancy and breastfeeding: caprylic acid occurs naturally in breast milk, but concentrated supplement safety during lactation isn't established — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Caprylic Acid

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Caprylic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 262 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start, check your exact medications if you take a blood thinner like warfarin, any blood pressure medication, or regular NSAIDs like ibuprofen. These are the drug types with documented Moderate-severity interactions.

No interactions are documented for the other ingredient in this product that we could check.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

MCT oil is popular for energy and ketogenic diets, but this product's caprylic acid component can interact with blood thinners, blood pressure medications, and NSAIDs. If you take any of those, check with us first.

Otherwise, it's generally well tolerated short-term, though stomach upset or taste changes are possible.

Antihypertensive Drugs

Theoretically, caprylic acid might increase the risk of hypotension when used with antihypertensive drugs.
Animal research suggests that caprylic acid might have positive inotropic effects, resulting in reduced arterial pressure and vascular resistance and increased cardiac output.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (Nsaids)

Theoretically, caprylic acid might increase plasma concentrations of NSAIDs.
In vitro research suggests that caprylic acid might displace NSAIDs from binding sites on albumin. This effect has not been reported in humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Warfarin (Coumadin)

Theoretically, caprylic acid might increase plasma concentrations of warfarin.
In vitro research suggests that high doses of caprylic acid might displace warfarin from albumin binding sites. This effect has not been reported in humans.

100% Pure MCT Oil by Purely Inspired: Common Questions

Does 100% Pure MCT Oil by Purely Inspired interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, 100% Pure MCT Oil has a known interaction with 262 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
100% Pure MCT Oil contains 2 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What's MCT oil, and what are these ingredients actually for?
MCT stands for medium chain triglycerides — a type of fat your body can use quickly for energy. Caprylic and capric acids are both fatty acids that make up the MCT oil. The product is used as a supplement for energy, ketogenic diet support, and other wellness goals, though we don't have reliable evidence on file backing those claims.
What side effects might I notice?
Most common are mild stomach discomfort and a change in taste. A few people have reported mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue. Topical irritation isn't relevant here since this is taken orally. Short-term use appears well tolerated overall.
Is it safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Caprylic acid occurs naturally in breast milk, but we don't have safety data for concentrated supplement amounts during pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using this product in either situation.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure or pain medications?
Not without checking first. Caprylic acid might interact with blood pressure drugs and NSAIDs like ibuprofen, potentially changing how much of those drugs stay in your blood. Use our medication checker below with your exact prescriptions, or ask your pharmacist.
What if I take warfarin or another blood thinner?
This is one to flag. Caprylic acid might increase warfarin levels in your blood, raising bleeding risk. Check with your pharmacist or doctor before starting this product if you take any blood thinner.
