Magnesium Stearate?!
Question:
Magnesium Stearate?
what is magnesium stearate? i know its added to supplements but what does it do? is it safe?
Answers:
Magnesium stearate is typically used in the manufacture of pills as a binder. It is perfectly safe to ingest, and is really just there to make sure that the pill is the proper shape and consistency. If pills were only the active ingredients, they wouldn't stay together and most would be too small to try to handle! You can think of magnesium stearate as the glue that makes sure everything is held together the way you want it to look and feel.
