Other Ingredients (11)

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)

SucroseSweetener

Added sugars and high glycemic load; dental caries risk

Coconut OilCarrier

Edible oil from coconut used as a release/anti-sticking agent and carrier in gummies and soft formats

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
