Other Ingredients (7)

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.

SorbitolSweetener

A FODMAP sugar alcohol that may trigger GI discomfort (bloating, gas) in individuals with IBS or sorbitol malabsorption, even at small amounts found in supplements. Avoided in low-FODMAP diets.

Magnesium StearateLubricant

A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production

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.

Silicon DioxideAnti-caking

Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping

Microcrystalline CelluloseBinder

Plant-derived cellulose used as a binder and filler in supplements

Stearic AcidLubricant

Saturated fatty acid used as tablet lubricant

How to Take It

Best taken in the morning

Many people prefer it earlier in the day; there's no evidence timing changes anything. Absorption is fine with or without food.

With or without food

On the label

General guidance based on the ingredients, not a substitute for the label or your doctor.
