Sodium BorateBuffer
Classified as a Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) under EU REACH for reproductive toxicity (Category 1B — may damage fertility and the unborn child). EFSA's tolerable upper intake from total boron exposure is 10 mg/day for adults; sodium borate dosing must stay well below this. Acute oral toxicity is moderate (lethal dose ~5–20 g in adults), but the chronic-exposure reproductive endpoint is the binding constraint. Largely phased out of modern supplements and personal care in favor of safer buffers (citrate, phosphate). If a current product lists sodium borate, the inclusion warrants scrutiny — there are safer alternatives for every excipient function it provides.
Silicon DioxideAnti-caking

Coating (unspecified)Coating
Generic tablet coating declaration where the label does not itemize the coating's components; modern aqueous film coatings are typically cellulose-based (HPMC) with a plasticizer
Microcrystalline CelluloseBinder
Plant-derived cellulose used as a binder and filler in supplements
StarchBinder
Carbohydrate polymer used as a binder, filler, and disintegrant in tablets and capsules
How to Take It
Best taken in the evening
The Magnesium in it is what pulls this toward the evening. Take it with a meal containing fat — the vitamin D in it absorbs poorly without one.
