Excipients are binders, fillers and "glues" that are typically non-nutritive substances used in the manufacture of dietary supplements.

Would you want to consume anything that is not nutritive?

We believe it is unnecessary to take nutritional products that have questionable, non-nutritive excipients.

Please note: Tablets almost always contain excipients; therefore, we believe the best choice is to avoid dietary supplements that are in a tablet form.

Just a few examples of questionable excipients commonly found in dietary supplements:

Magnesium stearate — a cheap lubricating agentMethyl paraben — a benzoate family memberSilicon dioxide — a cheap flowing agentMethacrylic copolymer — methacrylic acid, a component of the methacrylic acid copolymerTriethyl citrate — a plasticizerTitanium dioxide — used for colorTalcum powder — a common excipient used for lubricating machines

Other Questionable but Common Tableting and Encapsulating Agents:
