Other Ingredients (9)
FructoseSweetener
Added free fructose is metabolized in the liver and at habitual intake is linked to elevated triglycerides, hepatic fat accumulation, and insulin resistance; an avoidable sugar load with no supplement benefit.
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.
SucroseSweetener
Added sugars and high glycemic load; dental caries risk
Date PowderSweetener
Dried, ground dates used as a natural sweetener and bulking agent
Natural FlavorsFlavor
Broad regulatory category of flavor constituents derived from natural sources. Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
Calcium CarbonateBuffer
Common calcium salt used as a buffering agent, filler, or mineral fortification in supplements
StarchBinder
Carbohydrate polymer used as a binder, filler, and disintegrant in tablets and capsules
