Other ingredients
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.
Capsule ShellCapsule
Generic capsule shell where the label does not specify the material. Common materials are hypromellose (HPMC) for vegetarian capsules and gelatin for traditional capsules — both are GRAS-listed and safe. Fish gelatin and pullulan variants also exist.
Microcrystalline CelluloseBinder
Plant-derived cellulose used as a binder and filler in supplements
Sodium Stearyl FumarateLubricant
A standard tablet/capsule lubricant, often used in place of magnesium stearate.

How to take it
With food
ALA does better on an empty stomach, but something else in this bottle needs food. Taking the whole product with a meal is the better trade — an upset stomach is why most people stop.
On the label
Take 1 capsule daily, half an hour before a meal, or as directed by a qualified health care practitioner.
