HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Coconut MCT Oil Unflavored by Solimo

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Oct 8, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 3 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Total Medium Chain Triglyceride” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

The active ingredients are caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, and a blend of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are fats that the body processes differently from long chain fats. Caprylic and capric acids are the MCT fatty acids this product is built around, and lauric acid is a saturated fatty acid found in coconut.

The product also lists liquid coconut oil as an inactive ingredient, which serves as a carrier rather than an active component.

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

The label doesn't state a purpose we can grade — see each ingredient's own graded uses on its monograph instead.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

Caprylic acid has been studied for colorectal cancer and epilepsy, and for essential tremor, but each is rated Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate, so we cannot say it works for these uses. Lauric acid has been studied for bronchitis, vaginal candidiasis, the common cold, and genital herpes, and each of these is also rated Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate.

We have no effectiveness ratings on file for capric acid.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Caprylic Acid Lauric 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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Caprylic acid is generally well tolerated short term when taken by mouth, with mild abdominal discomfort and taste changes the most common side effects, and dizziness, headache, and fatigue rarely reported. Our safety notes say food amounts are likely fine, but concentrated supplement doses are less well studied, so talk with your doctor before using it.

Lauric acid can raise both total and LDL cholesterol when eaten in large amounts, though it also raises HDL cholesterol, and nausea has been reported with infusion. Lauric acid is rated Likely Safe in pregnancy and lactation, yet our notes say concentrated supplements have not been well studied in pregnancy or while nursing.

Caprylic acid and capric acid have no pregnancy and lactation rating on file, so there is not enough data to know either way; talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personal advice.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Caprylic Acid Lauric 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 2 matched ingredients 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.

Double-check these medication types before taking this product: warfarin (a blood thinner), rated Moderate; blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), rated Moderate; and NSAID pain relievers, rated Moderate. Lauric acid has no interactions documented in our data, but we could not check capric acid or the MCT blend.

Confirm with your own doctor or pharmacist.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may suit someone who wants a simple, unflavored source of MCTs and is not taking medications that interact with it. Anyone on warfarin, blood pressure medication, or NSAID pain relievers, and anyone who is pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy, should be careful.

Talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist before starting.
