Why do you use Magnesium Stearate?Updated 2 years ago

Some cheaper forms of magnesium stearate are made from animal fats, cottonseed oil or genetically modified oils. We would never consider using any of these routes as they fall below our standards. Our magnesium stearate is sourced from solvent-free, pesticide-free, non-GMO, and sustainable palm oil, and the company that we source it from is one of the founding members of the (RSPO) Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil. The amount of Magnesium Stearate in this blend is incredibly small–just 6.75mg per capsule–which is about one-one thousandth of a teaspoon!
