What Are Excipients?
Excipients are binders, fillers and “glues” that are typically non-nutritive substances in nutritional products. Why would you want to consume anything that is not nutritive?
Just a few examples of questionable excipients commonly found in nutritional products:
Magnesium stearate – a cheap lubricating agent; research shows it to be immune-compromising
Methyl paraben – a benzoate family member; a known cancer-causing agent
Microcrystalline cellulose – a cheap filler
Silicon dioxide – a cheap flowing agent (common sand)
Methacrylic copolymer – methacrylic acid, a component of the methacrylic acid copolymer
Triethyl citrate – a plasticizer
Titanium dioxide – used for color
Tablets ALWAYS contain excipients (that is how they are made; they cannot be made without them); therefore, we believe the best choice is to avoid nutritional products as tablets if possible.
