Other Ingredients (12)
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.
Glucose SyrupSweetener
High glycemic load; source typically corn (generally gluten-free)
MannitolSweetener
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.
SucroseSweetener
Added sugars and high glycemic load; dental caries risk
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.
Carnauba WaxCoating
Hard plant wax from the carnauba palm used to glaze gummies and tablets
Citric AcidAcidulant
Natural acid derived from citrus fruits
GelatinCapsule
Protein derived from collagen, used in traditional capsule shells
