HelloPharmacist Scorecard of MCT Oil by Totally Products

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 Triglycerides” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (3,000 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This capsule contains two active ingredients: caprylic acid and medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), both fatty acids derived from coconut or palm oil. MCT oil is commonly used as a quick-burning source of fuel for the body.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — palm oil, gelatin, and vitamin E — that serve as the capsule material and preservative.

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 evidence for caprylic acid is currently insufficient — we don't have solid data on whether it works for epilepsy or essential tremor. The product facts don't include effectiveness ratings for the MCT blend itself.

If you're considering this for a specific health goal, talk with your doctor about what the research actually shows.

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. The safety data advises caution with supplement-strength doses unless your doctor approves it.

Short-term, it's generally well tolerated; a small number of people reported mild stomach discomfort or taste changes, and very rarely, mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue. Because caprylic acid shows up naturally in breast milk but the safety of concentrated supplements during lactation isn't known, use caution and check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're 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, double-check any blood thinners like warfarin you're on (Moderate severity), blood pressure medications (Moderate severity), and NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen (Moderate severity). We could not check capric acid for drug interactions, so that's another reason to run your full medication list through with your pharmacist or doctor.

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.

MCT Oil may be worth considering if you're looking for a quick-burning fat source, but it's not right for everyone — especially if you take blood thinners, blood pressure medications, or NSAIDs. Before you start, check your exact medications against the interaction tool on this page and talk it over with your own doctor or pharmacist to make sure it's safe for you.

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 by Totally Products: Common Questions

Does MCT Oil by Totally Products interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, 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?
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 are medium chain triglycerides, and why are they in this product?
MCTs are a type of fat your body uses quickly for energy instead of storing. They're the main active ingredient here, usually derived from coconut or palm oil.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood thinner?
Not without checking first. Caprylic acid in this product may raise blood thinner levels, which could increase bleeding risk. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting — they can tell you if it's safe for you.
Are there any common side effects?
Most people tolerate it well short-term. Some report mild stomach discomfort or taste changes, and very rarely, mild dizziness, headache, or fatigue.
Is it safe during breastfeeding?
Caprylic acid naturally occurs in breast milk, but concentrated supplement safety during lactation isn't well studied. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you're breastfeeding.
Does this help with epilepsy or tremors?
The evidence isn't solid enough to say. We don't have reliable data on whether caprylic acid works for epilepsy or essential tremor, so if that's what you're after, ask your doctor about other options with stronger evidence.
