NO Fillers

no fillers
Think of fillers as the supporting cast – they're there to help the star ingredient shine!
Their script involves performing the functions of:
  • Binding: Holding the ingredients together to form a stable tablet or capsule.
  • Filling: Increasing the bulk of the supplement to a manageable size for consumption.
  • Flowing: Improving the flow of powdered ingredients during manufacturing.
  • Lubricating: Reducing friction between the supplement and the manufacturing equipment.
  • Disintegrating: Helping the supplement break down in the body for better absorption.
However, you might want to focus on supplements that spotlight the key nutrients with minimal distractions - Always look for supplements with minimal fillers. Your body will thank you!
Curious about the supporting (more like, extras) cast? Common fillers in supplements often include...
  • Magnesium stearate: A common lubricant and flow agent.
  • Microcrystalline cellulose: A cellulose-based filler and binder.
  • Silicon dioxide: An anti-caking agent that prevents clumping.
  • Starch: A common filler and binder.
  • Dicalcium phosphate: A calcium source that also acts as a filler and binder.

Why ditch these extras?
  • Reduced Potency: Fillers can dilute the active ingredients in a supplement, potentially reducing its effectiveness.
  • Allergic Reactions: Some fillers may cause allergic reactions in certain individuals.
  • Unnecessary Ingredients: Fillers add unnecessary bulk to the supplement, increasing the cost without adding any additional benefit.
  • Unknown Effects: The long-term effects of some fillers on the body are not fully understood.
