Other Ingredients (4)
Rice FlourFiller
Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination (FDA and Consumer Reports). Rice accumulates arsenic from soil at higher rates than other grains. Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.

Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production
GelatinCapsule
Protein derived from collagen, used in traditional capsule shells
How to Take It
Take it anytime
Absorbs substantially better fasted — take it about 30 minutes before a meal.
On an empty stomach
On the label
For adults, take one (1) quick release capsule daily, preferably with a meal.
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.
