Avoid This Additive When Buying Supplements

Another ingredient to avoid when purchasing supplements is magnesium stearate. Manufacturers like to add this ingredient into the development process because it prevents substances from sticking together or to the machine doing the processing. So, if you could imagine, saving money is always priority over consumer health. Magnesium stearate is also used to bind sugar in hard candies like mints, and is a common ingredient in baby formulas. Magnesium stearate is not a source of magnesium and has no benefits, but may have a detrimental effect on your immune function as stearic acid has been linked to suppression of T cells. The filler also stimulates your gut to form a biofilm, which can prevent proper absorption of nutrients in your digestive tract! It seems to be pretty common. After this was brought to my attention, I started to skim the supplement isles and found it to be included in almost everything. If you do not know where to look, every supplement should have an ingredient list somewhere on the bottle. Stay healthy people!
