Other Ingredients (14)

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.

Magnesium Carbonate (excipient)Anticaking Agent

Magnesium carbonate used as an anti-caking, flow, and drying agent.

Magnesium HydroxideMineral Source

An inorganic magnesium compound used as a magnesium source, antacid, or pH buffer.

Natural FlavorsFlavor

Broad regulatory category of flavor constituents derived from natural sources. Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.

Beetroot Juice PowderColorant

Natural red colorant and mild flavoring derived from beetroot; often spray-dried onto maltodextrin carrier

Calcium CarbonateBuffer

Common calcium salt used as a buffering agent, filler, or mineral fortification in supplements

Citric AcidAcidulant
