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.

Silicon DioxideAnti-caking

Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping

Microcrystalline CelluloseBinder

How to Take It

Best taken in the morning

Mildly stimulating adaptogen — take in the morning, ideally before breakfast.

On an empty stomach

On the label

Take 1 capsule daily, with food. Best when taken as directed by a qualified healthcare professional.

Labels usually say “with food” because it's gentler on the stomach, not because it absorbs better. Fasted absorbs more — start there, and switch to a light meal if it bothers you.

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