HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Max Ketogenic MCT Energy Chocolate Brownie by Coromega

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

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 2 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (3.50 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product has 2 active ingredients: medium chain triglyceride oil (an MCT blend) and caprylic acid, a naturally occurring fatty acid. The inactive ingredients include xylitol, acacia powder, chocolate flavor, gum arabic, citric acid, xanthan gum, and potassium sorbate.

Does it work?

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: burn fat as fuel weight loss energy.
  • We looked for evidence on: ketogenic metabolism, metabolic energy, fat oxidation.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate caprylic acid for epilepsy or essential tremor. We don't have effectiveness information on file for the other ingredients in this product for any condition.

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.

Orally, caprylic acid is generally well tolerated in the short term, though some people report mild abdominal discomfort or a change in taste. Rarely, mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue have been reported.

Caprylic acid is recognized as safe in food amounts, but supplement doses are less studied — the safety data advises caution with concentrated supplements unless your doctor approves. Caprylic acid does occur naturally in breast milk, but the safety of concentrated supplement amounts during breastfeeding isn't established, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist before use 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 taking this product, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take blood pressure-lowering medications (antihypertensive drugs), NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen, or warfarin (a blood thinner) — caprylic acid may theoretically interact with all three, though human evidence is limited.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Max Ketogenic MCT Energy Chocolate Brownie 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 the difference between MCT oil and caprylic acid in this product?
The medium chain triglyceride oil is a blend of several fatty acids; caprylic acid is one specific type of fat. Together they're meant to provide quick energy for a ketogenic diet.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure medicine?
Not without checking first — caprylic acid may theoretically lower blood pressure further. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's safe for you alongside your specific medication.

Caprylic acid is generally well tolerated, but some people report mild abdominal discomfort or a taste change. A small number have also reported dizziness, headache, or fatigue, though these are rare.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data to know whether concentrated caprylic acid is safe in pregnancy or while nursing. Caprylic acid does occur naturally in breast milk, but supplement safety at higher doses hasn't been established — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Does this actually work for weight loss or energy?
We don't have effectiveness data on file for the ingredients in this product. It's designed as an MCT supplement for people following a keto diet; whether it delivers the results you're after is a question for your healthcare provider or nutritionist.
