The first time I bought this product, I bought it from another company that I took the time out to check added ingrediants. I didn't want Magnesium Sterate included as it is bad for you ( I won't go into why here) and there was none in their product, but, when I tried this company, I forgot to call first to see if theirs contained the Magnesium Sterate. Sure enough, it arrived and it did contain this bad ingrediant. Wish I hadn't purchased it and was too lazy to send back for a refund. I will go back to the original company I used next time.
I understand the Magnesium Sterate is used as an inexpensive binder, but I'm sure there are better processes that can be used and prefer to stay with companies that don't use these products. I'm taking these things to get healthy not to add more problems to my already over-taxed system.
