Other Ingredients (4)

Rice ExtractFiller

Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination. Vague labeling — 'rice extract' does not specify what is extracted or standardized. Used as a cheap filler with no supplemental benefit.

Rice FlourFiller

Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination (FDA and Consumer Reports). Rice accumulates arsenic from soil at higher rates than other grains. Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.

Rice HullsAnti-caking

Ground outer husk of rice grains used as a plant-based flow and anti-caking agent

HypromelloseCapsule

Plant-derived capsule material from cellulose

How to Take It

Best taken in the morning

Bisglycinate is the gentle form — most people tolerate it on an empty stomach, which is exactly where it absorbs best. Vitamin C may help absorption.

On an empty stomach
Keep it away from coffee, tea and dairy
Space it a couple of hours from Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, Manganese and Green Tea Leaf Extract

On the label

Take 1 capsule daily without food. Best when taken as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.

General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
