Other Ingredients (6)

MaltodextrinBinder

Spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar (glycemic index 85–105). Research links it to gut bacteria changes that may promote intestinal inflammation (Nickerson et al. 2015). Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.

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.

Silicon DioxideAnti-caking

Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping

Magnesium StearateLubricant

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

Citric AcidAcidulant

Natural acid derived from citrus fruits

HypromelloseCapsule

Plant-derived capsule material from cellulose

How to Take It

Best taken in the morning

Bisglycinate is the gentle form — most people tolerate it on an empty stomach, which is exactly where it absorbs best. Vitamin C may help absorption.

On an empty stomach
Keep it away from coffee, tea and dairy
Space it a couple of hours from Calcium, Zinc, Magnesium, Manganese and Green Tea Leaf Extract

On the label

As a dietary supplement, take 1 capsule daily with 8-12 oz of water or as directed by your healthcare professional.

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