TalcAnti-caking
IARC classifies cosmetic-grade talc not containing asbestos as Group 2B (possibly carcinogenic to humans); perineal talc use as Group 2A (probably carcinogenic). Johnson & Johnson voluntarily withdrew talc-based baby powder from US/Canada in 2020 and globally in 2022 after extensive litigation tied to ovarian-cancer and mesothelioma cases. The 2018 FDA contamination survey found asbestos in 9 of 52 cosmetic talc products tested. As a supplement excipient talc is a pure manufacturing convenience — no nutritional or functional benefit to the user — so the asbestos-exposure risk has no offsetting upside. Safer alternatives (silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, rice hulls) 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.
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.
Medium Chain Triglyceride OilCarrier
Fractionated oils rich in C8/C10 triglycerides used as neutral carrier or anti-sticking agent
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
Microcrystalline CelluloseBinder
Plant-derived cellulose used as a binder and filler in supplements
Croscarmellose SodiumDisintegrant
Cross-linked cellulose derivative used as a superdisintegrant
PolyvinylpyrrolidoneBinder
A synthetic polymer used as a tablet binder and film former
