Magnesium Stereate

We had a naturopathic doctor come in and discuss supplements with us.

The biggest takeaway for me was to avoid magnesium stearate. It is in a number of different supplements. It is a lubricant they use to help make sure the machinery doesn't get gummed up when producing various supplements. There is concern that the magnesium stearate affects your body's absorption of the supplement.

For best chance of absorption ensure there is no magnesium stearate in the supplements you are taking.
