CarboxymethylcelluloseThickener
Carboxymethylcellulose was the second emulsifier (with polysorbate 80) in Chassaing et al. 2015 (Nature, PMID 25731162), which showed mucus-barrier thinning, a microbiota shift toward pro-inflammatory species, low-grade inflammation, and metabolic syndrome in mice. Chassaing 2022 (Gastroenterology, PMID 34774538) tested CMC directly in a randomized controlled human feeding trial and found reduced microbial diversity and bacterial encroachment into the normally sterile mucus layer in a susceptible subset of participants. EFSA's 2018 re-evaluation could not establish a safe level due to data gaps. For a purely textural excipient, the gut-barrier risk profile is unfavorable when safer thickeners are widely available.
Titanium DioxideColorant
Banned in the EU (2022) over concerns that its ultra-fine particles may damage DNA in gut cells. Still allowed in the US. Used only for white coloring — provides no health benefit.
FD&C Yellow No. 6Colorant
May trigger sensitivity in some individuals; behavioral concerns in susceptible children
MaltodextrinBinder
Spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar (glycemic index 85–105). Research links it to gut bacteria changes that may promote intestinal inflammation (Nickerson et al. 2015). Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.
Tapioca DextrinCarrier
A starch hydrolysate from tapioca used as a carrier and flow agent
DextroseSweetener
A simple glucose sugar used as a bulking agent, sweetener, and tablet diluent
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
Medium Chain Triglyceride OilCarrier
Fractionated oils rich in C8/C10 triglycerides used as neutral carrier or anti-sticking agent
How to Take It
Take it anytime
No evidence a formula this broad works better at any particular hour. Take it with a meal containing fat — the vitamins A and E in it absorb poorly without one.
With a meal containing fat
Space it a couple of hours from Iron and Calcium
