Other Ingredients (5)

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.

Magnesium StearateLubricant

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

Silicon DioxideAnti-caking

Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping

HypromelloseCapsule

Plant-derived capsule material from cellulose
