Hi everyone,
I am posting here to hear what everyone opinion is..
There are many brands coming out with products without any kind of synthetic flow agents. In most supplements on the ingredient facts, it shows "magnesium stearate" a synthetic soapy kind of substance used to lubricate the tablet presses, and capsule encapsulators.
Consumers are trending to be more and more aware of what ingredients are used in their supplement they are using. There is much controversy whether magnesium stearate is harmful to the body or not used in small amounts. It is know to be harmful in large amounts. So why use any?
Supplement manufacturers are beginning to offer all organic flow agents to replace synthetic flow agents such as magnesium stearate.
What is your opinion? Do you think products should be synthetic excipient free?
