Magnesium Stearate is a compound made from magnesium and stearic acid, commonly used as a flow agent in the manufacturing of capsules and tablets. It prevents ingredients from sticking to machinery, ensuring consistent and efficient production of supplements.
While it doesn’t offer direct health benefits at small doses, it supports the quality and stability of supplements by improving the uniformity of active ingredients in each dose. It’s widely used in the nutraceutical industry and is considered safe by regulatory authorities when used within recommended limits.
