Avoid Magnesium Stearate in Your Supplements

The decision to become healthy is a great one and the first thing you want to do is follow a healthy diet and start taking vitamins and supplements to help your immune system. However, read the labels! If it lists Magnesium Stearate on the bottle, put it back! Magnesium Stearate is an additive used to lubricate the ingredients to keep them from sticking to machinery during the making process. The harmful effects are: poor absorption of nutrients into your intestines and the suppression of T-cells, which are key players in your immune system.[1]

Be smart and read the labels! This is so important because putting “healthy” on the label doesn’t always mean it’s completely healthy for your body.
