Direct Entry
Standard fats need to be packaged into chylomicrons. C10 goes straight to the portal vein.
HelloPharmacist Pure Tricaprin C10 Softgels - World's First 100% C10 Dietary Supplement
HELLOPHARMACIST 100% PURE C10 TRICAPRIN SUPPLEMENT
The Heart’s
Precision Fuel.
The heart runs continuously and relies on fatty acids for energy. Most MCT (Medium Chain Triglyceride) oils are unpredictable blends: C8 converts rapidly into ketones for 'brain fuel,' while C12 acts like a long-chain fat, getting bogged down in slow digestion and requiring special carriers just to enter the cell.
Pure Tricaprin (C10) possesses distinct metabolic properties that have made it a differentiated focus of cardiovascular metabolic research.
Why Choose HelloPharmacist Tricaprin?
Pure C10
Heart Focused
Metabolizes efficiently to support heart function
No Blends
Full Potency
No cheap C12 fillers. No distracting C8. Just the molecule you paid for
Research Grade
99% Purity
Lab verified for purity to ensure consistent metabolic response
Not All Fats Are Equal
Most MCT oils try to do everything. We chose the one built for the heart.
C8 (Caprylic)
The Brain Fuel
Turns into ketones very fast. Great for mental focus and keto dieting, but it bypasses the heart muscle preference.
High Ketones
The Pure C10 Advantage
Pure C10
The Heart Fuel
The Goldilocks Fat. Short enough to skip the slow digestion traffic, but long enough to fuel cardiac cells.
Optimized Heart Fuel
C12 (Lauric)
The Slow Fuel
Acts like a long-chain fat. Because it requires a 'carrier' (Carnitine Shuttle) to enter the mitochondria, it lacks the direct, optimized metabolic pathway that cardiac tissue prefers.
Requires Carriers
How it works
Why C10 is Different
Your body treats every chain length differently. Pure C10 takes the "Express Lane."
02
Transport
No Carrier Needed
Unlike long chain fats, C10 is less dependent on the carnitine shuttle, giving it a more direct path into mitochondrial energy metabolism.
03
Utilization
Targeted Fuel
C10 is rapidly oxidized for ATP energy, providing a highly efficient, direct fuel source for cardiac tissue.
04
Purity
No Noise
Blended MCT oils split the job. Pure C10 delivers one focused metabolic pathway with no competing signals from C8 or C12.
Published Research
Real Studies. Real Links. Human Evidence First.
We prioritized real, source-linked studies most relevant to cardiovascular health. The strongest direct human evidence today is in TGCV, a rare disorder of impaired intracellular triglyceride breakdown in the heart and coronary arteries.
How to read this section: The two dark cards below highlight the flagship human studies. The six supporting cards underneath add broader evidence showing why tricaprin has drawn interest in cardiovascular research.

In ATGL knockout mice, tricaprin reduced triglyceride buildup inside the heart and improved left ventricular function. This paper helped establish the biological rationale before the later human studies.

Common Questions
Detailed answers from our pharmacist formulation team.
Why is this a softgel instead of a liquid oil?
Purity changes the format. Pure C10 tricaprin has a melting point of about 31°C (88°F), so it can naturally be a white solid at room temperature.
Many standard MCT oils stay liquid because they are blended with other fatty acids such as C8. To deliver pure C10 in a convenient format, we encapsulate it in softgels. Depending on room temperature, the contents may feel more solid or more liquid, which is completely normal.

What exactly is Tricaprin C10?
Tricaprin, also called glyceryl tricaprate, is a triglyceride made from three C10 capric acid chains. Standard MCT products are usually blends. This product isolates the C10 molecule only, giving you a pure C10 serving rather than a mixed oil.
How is this different from the MCT oil I can buy at the grocery store?
The difference is focus. Most MCT oils are blends, often combining C8 and C10. Pure C10 keeps the serving centered on one chain length with its own distinct metabolic profile, instead of mixing multiple behaviors together in one product.
Why not just use a blend and get the best of both worlds?
Blends can be useful, but they are not the same as a pure ingredient. If you want the distinct properties of C10 specifically, a blend dilutes that focus. Pure C10 gives you a consistent C10 only serving every time.
How does C10 relate to heart metabolism?
The heart is highly energy dependent and relies heavily on fatty acid metabolism. C10 has distinct metabolic properties and has drawn interest in cardiovascular metabolic research, which is one reason we chose to build this formula around pure tricaprin.
Why is the serving size 1.5 grams and why does purity matter at that dose?
We wanted the serving to reflect the amount used in published tricaprin research contexts. Just as importantly, 1.5 grams of pure C10 is different from 1.5 grams of a blended oil where C10 may be only part of the serving.
When is the best time to take it and should it be on an empty stomach?
Many people prefer taking it between meals or with a light snack. If you have a sensitive stomach, taking it with food may feel better. Individual responses can vary.
Is this a stimulant, and will it make me feel jittery?
No. Pure C10 is a fat based nutrient, not a stimulant. It does not work like caffeine or other energizers that stimulate the nervous system.
Who is this product for?
This product is for people who specifically want pure C10 tricaprin rather than a generic blended MCT oil. It is especially appealing to people who care about ingredient purity, focused formulations, and the emerging research around C10 and cardiovascular metabolism.
How long will one bottle last?
At the labeled serving size, one bottle provides a 30 day supply. Always follow the directions on the label unless your healthcare professional advises otherwise.
Can I take this with other supplements?
In many cases, yes. But if you take prescription medications, have a medical condition, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are following a clinician directed nutrition plan, check with your healthcare professional before adding any new supplement.
Will the softgels melt during shipping?
Because pure C10 is close to its melting point around warm room conditions, the contents may soften during shipping or in a warm environment. That does not necessarily mean anything is wrong with the product. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the bottle tightly closed.
Does it taste like coconut or oil?
Since it is delivered in softgels, most people do not notice much taste at all. If a softgel is chewed, the flavor is generally mild and fatty rather than strongly flavored.
Why aren’t there more pure Tricaprin C10 supplements on the market?
Three main reasons:
1) It is harder to isolate than standard blended MCT ingredients.
2) It is less convenient for liquid oil formats because pure C10 can solidify around room temperature.
3) It is a more specialized ingredient, which usually means lower production volume and higher cost.
