HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Coconut Oil by Radiance

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 Jul 16, 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 8 of its 8 active ingredients.
  • “organic Coconut Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (2,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Radiance Coconut Oil is a softgel with 8 active ingredients: caprylic acid, capric acid, lauric acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid, and organic coconut oil itself (which is a blend of these fatty acids). These are all medium-chain and long-chain fatty acids that your body processes for energy and other functions.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — gelatin capsule material, medium-chain triglycerides, vegetable glycerin, and titanium dioxide for color.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
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

This product doesn't appear to be marketed for a specific use, so we graded its ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.

Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports its ingredients for:

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.
  • Since the label doesn't commit to one use, we graded the ingredients' overall clinical evidence instead.
  • On file: Coronary heart disease (CHD) — rated "Possibly Effective" (Oleic Acid) (Natural Medicines).
  • On file: Hypercholesterolemia — rated "Possibly Effective" (Oleic Acid) (Natural Medicines).

The evidence for coconut oil and its components is mixed and often incomplete. Oleic acid (one of the fatty acids here) is possibly effective for high cholesterol and heart disease risk, based on research with olive oil.

Caprylic acid and lauric acid have been studied for epilepsy, tremor, bronchitis, colds, herpes, and yeast infections, but the evidence isn't strong enough yet to rate them either way. For most of the other components, we don't hold effectiveness ratings in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Coconut Caprylic Acid Lauric Acid Oleic 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 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Caprylic acid is generally well tolerated in the short term, though mild abdominal discomfort and change in taste are the most common complaints — a small number of people have also reported mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue. Lauric acid may cause nausea when taken at high rates, though the frequency with regular oral use is unknown.

Because lauric acid is a saturated fat, large amounts in your diet can raise both your total and LDL (bad) cholesterol, though it also raises HDL (good) cholesterol, which may offset some risk. Caprylic acid, capric acid, and oleic acid lack strong safety data at supplement doses, so use caution if pregnant or nursing.

Lauric acid is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation based on its natural presence in food and breast milk, but concentrated supplement safety hasn't been established.

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?
  • 2 of the 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Caprylic Acid, Oleic Acid.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 348 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 taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications (caprylic acid may increase the risk of low blood pressure), warfarin or other blood thinners (caprylic acid may raise their levels), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen or naproxen (caprylic acid may increase their levels), or diabetes medications (oleic acid may strengthen their effects). All of these are Moderate severity concerns.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence behind its ingredients' uses. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Radiance Coconut Oil is a source of fatty acids that some people take for cholesterol and heart health, though the evidence for most ingredients is still being worked out. If you take blood pressure medications, blood thinners, pain relievers, or diabetes drugs, check your specific medications with the tool on this page before you start — the caprylic and oleic acid in this product may affect how they work.

Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's right for you.

Coconut Oil by Radiance: Common Questions

Does Coconut Oil by Radiance interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Coconut Oil has a known interaction with 348 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Coconut 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.
Will this raise my cholesterol?
Lauric acid, one of the fatty acids in coconut oil, is a saturated fat that can raise both your total and LDL (bad) cholesterol — but it also raises HDL (good) cholesterol, which may help balance the effect. Oleic acid, another ingredient, is possibly effective for reducing cholesterol. Your overall cholesterol response depends on your diet and genetics, so talk with your doctor about whether this product fits your heart health plan.
What side effects might I notice?
The most common complaint is mild abdominal discomfort or a change in taste perception. Nausea is possible, especially at higher doses. A small number of people have reported mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue. Most people tolerate it well in the short term, but long-term safety data at supplement doses is limited.
Is this safe to take while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Lauric acid is rated likely safe in pregnancy and lactation since it naturally occurs in food and breast milk, but concentrated supplement safety hasn't been fully studied. For caprylic acid, capric acid, and oleic acid, there isn't enough data to know either way — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before taking this during pregnancy or while nursing.
Does coconut oil actually help with [epilepsy/colds/herpes/yeast infections]?
Caprylic acid and lauric acid have been studied for these conditions, but the evidence so far isn't strong enough to say they work or don't work — it's rated insufficient. More research is needed before we can make a solid claim.
Why can't you check all the ingredients for interactions?
We don't hold detailed monographs for stearic acid, capric acid, linoleic acid, palmitic acid, and myristic acid, so we can't assess their interaction potential. That doesn't mean they have no interactions — just that our database doesn't include data for them. If you're on medications, the search tool can still help you look up your exact drugs.
