HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic MCT Powder Unflavored & Unsweetened by Bluebonnet
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This powder has 3 active ingredients: gum arabic (a natural thickening fiber from acacia trees), coconut (listed as a component group rather than broken into individual parts), and caprylic and capric acids—both medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that your body uses quickly for energy. The powder also contains silicon dioxide as an inactive ingredient (a flow agent in the powder itself).
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence on what gum arabic and the MCT acids in this product can do isn't well established in the data we hold. Gum arabic has been studied for metabolic syndrome, kidney function, sickle cell disease, obesity, gum inflammation, and skin healing—but all of those ratings show insufficient reliable evidence.
Similarly, caprylic acid's effectiveness for epilepsy and essential tremor is not established in our data.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Gum arabic is generally recognized as safe as a food additive, though high supplemental doses may cause digestive upset—specifically abdominal bloating, gas, nausea, vomiting, cramping, and mild diarrhea. In one study, these side effects happened fairly often in participants, but they may ease up within 2 weeks if you keep taking it.
Caprylic acid is generally well tolerated short-term, with rare reports of mild belly discomfort, taste changes, dizziness, headache, and fatigue. For pregnancy and lactation, there isn't enough information in our data on either ingredient at supplement doses to say either way.
Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your pharmacist if you take amoxicillin or other oral antibiotics, blood pressure medications, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or blood thinners like warfarin. Moderate interactions are documented for all of these drug types.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This MCT powder is a straightforward source of medium-chain triglycerides with added gum arabic fiber. It's most important to check your prescription medications first—especially antibiotics, blood pressure drugs, NSAIDs, and blood thinners—with your pharmacist before you start.
If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have ongoing digestive issues, talk that over with your doctor too.

Organic MCT Powder Unflavored & Unsweetened by Bluebonnet Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Bluebonnet's Organic MCT Powder has documented interactions through its gum arabic and caprylic acid content.
The most serious concern is gum arabic's Moderate interaction with amoxicillin (an antibiotic)—it can reduce how much of the drug your body absorbs, which may lower its effectiveness. You'll want to separate doses by at least 2 hours.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Gum arabic also has a Moderate interaction with other oral drugs in general, since its fiber content can alter how your body takes them in. Caprylic acid raises similar Moderate concerns with blood pressure drugs (antihypertensive medications), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs like ibuprofen and naproxen), and blood thinners like warfarin—the acid may increase how much of these drugs stays in your bloodstream, though these effects haven't been confirmed in humans yet.
We could not check capric acid, one of the three active ingredients, because we hold no data for it. Altogether, these interactions span 2,034 individual medications.

For each ingredient in Organic MCT Powder Unflavored & Unsweetened with known interactions, here are the types of medications they can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Gum Arabic
Amoxicillin (Amoxil, Trimox)
Gum arabic can reduce the absorption of amoxicillin.
A small study in healthy volunteers shows that taking amoxicillin and gum arabic concurrently significantly reduces the absorption of amoxicillin. Separate doses of amoxicillin from gum arabic by at least 2 hours.
Oral Drugs
Theoretically, gum arabic can alter the absorption of oral drugs due to its fiber content.
Gum arabic has been used as a suspending osmotic agent in drug formulations. It might improve bioavailability of water-insoluble drugs like naproxen, but reduce absorption of polar drugs like amoxicillin. To avoid changes in absorption, take gum arabic 30-60 minutes after oral medications.
Coconut
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking coconut with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
Animal research suggests that coconut milk might increase insulin levels and/or decrease blood glucose levels.
