HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MCT Oil 3,600 mg by Nature's Truth

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 Triglyceride Oil” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (3,600 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This product contains 2 active ingredients: caprylic acid and capric acid. Both are medium-chain fatty acids naturally present in coconut oil and found in small amounts in everyday foods.

The softgel capsule itself holds gelatin and glycerin as inactive ingredients to hold the oil.

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

This is a single-ingredient Caprylic Acid product and its label doesn't state a use — see Caprylic Acid's own graded uses on its monograph.

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

The data we hold shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate caprylic acid for epilepsy or essential tremor. We have no effectiveness ratings on file for capric acid.

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 are less well studied — the safety data advises avoiding it unless your doctor approves. Short-term use appears well tolerated, though some people report mild abdominal discomfort, change in taste, and rarely mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue.

We hold no pregnancy or lactation safety data for this product — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

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, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take warfarin or other blood thinners (anticoagulants), blood pressure drugs (antihypertensives), or NSAIDs like ibuprofen or naproxen. All carry moderate interaction risk with caprylic acid.

Caprylic Acid3 drug types · 262 drugs

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.

MCT Oil 3,600 mg by Nature's Truth: Common Questions

Does MCT Oil 3,600 mg by Nature's Truth interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, MCT Oil 3,600 mg 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?
MCT Oil 3,600 mg 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 exactly is MCT oil, and what's it used for?
MCT stands for medium-chain triglyceride — a type of fat made up of caprylic and capric acids. These are short-chain fatty acids naturally found in coconut oil and some other foods. People take MCT oil supplements for various reasons, though we don't have strong evidence in our data to rate whether it works for epilepsy or essential tremor.
Are there any side effects I should watch for?
Short-term, caprylic acid appears well tolerated. A small number of people report mild abdominal discomfort or a change in how food tastes. Rarely, mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue has been reported. Start with a small dose to see how your body responds.
Can I take this if I'm on warfarin?
Not without checking first. Lab research suggests caprylic acid might raise warfarin levels by displacing it from its binding sites, which could increase bleeding risk. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before adding this — they may need to adjust your warfarin dose or monitor you more closely.
Is this safe to take if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough data to know either way. Caprylic acid occurs naturally in breast milk, but we don't know if concentrated supplement doses are safe during pregnancy or lactation. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using it.
Does this product have any fillers or other ingredients I should know about?
The softgel capsule contains gelatin and glycerin as inactive ingredients to hold the oil. The two active ingredients are caprylic acid and capric acid — both medium-chain fatty acids from coconut oil.
