Excipients and supplements

[chainsaw]

I recieved a reply from a supplement supplier about me getting a sample of their longjack product here is what the supplier replied...

At this moment,we are only able to provide customer the ingredients and excipients,if they would like to make the capsule,they should ask for some local
supplement contract manufacturer to process the product for them,we can provide longjack sample.

I looked up the definintion for Excipients, are they referring to fillers, capsules. They man is chinese and his english is not good.

Yes...Excipients are flow agents that make the capping process easier. It is kind of a pain to get just the right amount of excipient to allow for flow, without diluting the formula.

Most US manufacturing facilities prefer to add the excipients themselves.

Magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide are often used as an excipients.
