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.

A FODMAP sugar alcohol that can cause GI distress (bloating, gas, diarrhea) at higher doses. Supplement amounts are typically small, but individuals with IBS or sugar alcohol sensitivity may react even at low doses.
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
Apple FlavorFlavor
A flavoring formulated to taste of apple
Silicon DioxideAnti-caking
Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping
Microcrystalline CelluloseBinder
Plant-derived cellulose used as a binder and filler in supplements
GlycineAmino Acid
Non-essential amino acid; smallest of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids. Mildly sweet taste — sometimes used as a low-glycemic flavor modifier in addition to its bioactive role
