Other Ingredients (8)

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.

CarmineColorant

Insect-derived (not vegan/vegetarian) and a recognized cause of IgE-mediated allergic reactions, including documented anaphylaxis. The FDA mandated explicit 'carmine'/'cochineal extract' labeling in 2011 specifically because of these reactions. Not toxic to the general population, but a genuine allergen with no health benefit; plant pigments achieve the same color.

Soy LecithinEmulsifier

Widely used emulsifier derived from soybeans

GelatinCapsule

Protein derived from collagen, used in traditional capsule shells

GlycerinHumectant

Sweet-tasting liquid used in soft capsules and liquids

Safflower Seed OilCarrier

Light, neutral oil from safflower seeds used as a carrier in softgels for fat-soluble nutrients

Vegetable OilCarrier

Edible oils used as carriers in softgels and as processing aids

BeeswaxCoating

Natural wax produced by honeybees, used as a coating and binding agent in softgels and tablets

How to Take It
