Today we'll review what the science actually says about Magnesium Stearate in dietary supplements.
When my wife was pregnant, I too was concerned about the safety and absorption of supplements made with magnesium stearate.
But found that it's not toxic to your immune system.

High Intensity Health , you need to do more research my friend. Magnesium Stearate, is mainly used for it's anti sticking properties and is used as a mold releasing agent in manufacturing plants, and the safety profile states that it is slightly toxic by ingestion. In it's pure powder form the substance can be a dust "EXPLOSION" hazard , and when heated to decomposition, it emits acrid smoke and toxic fumes. I'm NOT buying anything with magnesium stearate . ~Blessings~
You need to do.MORE RESEARCH.... NEWS IS THAT YOUD NEED EXCESSUVE QUANTITIES. IT IS A FLOW AGENT USED MINIMALLY and found in chicken,beef fed grass.... maybe check Dr Berg. In fact check a few.
Since magnesium stearate in supplements is formed in an INDUSTRIAL setting/lab, and not extracted from one of those healthy foods that you mention, my question is the SOURCE(S) of magnesium and STEARIC ACID that are used to form it for supplemental use, and WHAT IS DONE TO IT in the PROCESSING to MANUFACTURE IT. It may be clean, or not; and just because healthy, natural products contain it within nature, it is not a reason to ASSUME that a manufactured/lab-created form will have the same effect...And if it were extracted from a food source, does it necessarily come from a "clean" food source, or may it possibly come with other toxins or anti-nutrients? Anyone have a response to this???
The use of "clean" sources of lecithin (liquid or granules/powder) could be used in its place, so why not? The brand of Gaia, for example, uses both lecithin and pepper to enhance their product called "Turmeric Supreme," while other/cheaper/lower grade products often use magnesium stearate...
Lecithin is nature's emulsifier; and it is found in high amounts in lemons, limes and egg yolks among other foods/seeds/nuts; and it retains its benefits as long as it is not heated at or above boiling temperatures. Lecithin is part of the sheath around every cell (along with fatty acids), so it therefore is critical for allowing nutrients in and toxins out. Lecithin also composes the sheath around our brains, 80% of semen, and much of the nerve material, especially myelin sheaths. Unless one uses a lot of raw or undercooked pastured egg yolks DAILY and/or a [whole] lot of raw lemon/lime juice, I think that lecithin is a critical supplement, especially for those who consume their lecithin sources at heated temperatures at or above the boiling temperature.
Consuming lecithin in adequate quantity with each meal will supply the emulsification for the entire meal and greatly increase bioavailability..
WHAT IF??????
good morning. I enjoy watching your videos, and see them as my extended education at age 60 Always loved science. I thank you for making these videos so clear. you are a pleasure to join in on. I appreciate all you do.Congratulations to you and your wife on your new baby. 🎈🌺🎈🌾🌿🎀🤗
Mercola disagrees with you on this. Mg Stearate and Titanium Dioxide are both problematic. I ended up with leaky gut because I had these fillers in my supplements. I'm a Biochemist and I avoid these fillers like the plague. Your credibility is shot in my opinion. Where are you getting your information from? You may want to contact Mercola or look on his site he specifically states these fillers are a problem.
Hi Phil George,
I’m getting my information from PubMed, the largest body of published science on the web. (References are mentioned in video.)
Lastly, in this video I️ didn’t mention titanium dioxide, nor am I️ promoting it’s use.
Thanks
most likely the Titanium Dioxide that contributed to your leaky gut not the Mg Stearate... recently there have been articles on the News stating Titanium Dioxide is linked to Cancer/Bowel Disease. theres nothing thats come up about Mg Stearate though.
there is a difference between Mg-stearate and stearic acid Mg-stearate is hard to detox from the liver see dr.group but stearic acid is good for the body. so, the question we should be asking is what is the health effect of magnesium stearate on the body not stearic acid?
He definitely did not talk about mag s! He started but then shifted to stearic acid - most people don’t seem to have caught on that he did that
I really appreciate you for this vid. I was about to make an online purchase and saw an alarmist review about a product containing magnesium stearate and so came to RUclips.
VERY helpful! I have always thought that the 'danger' was overblown but this really helps.
Have to differ with you based on personal experience. I am up at 3am right now due to a killer headache. I have had a problem with vitamin suppliments for some time and headaches except for the gummies and liquids. So just looked on the labels of a couple of them since I have to now wait for my asperin to kick in I noticed they both have magnesium stearate so decided to look it up and came across a few videos. I watched 3 one being yours and another saying it is toxic and another by a guy who says it gives him headaches. So if Im getting major headaches with this thing that alone is a red flag to me that somethings wrong and my body is saying no more of this stuff! And I will trust that over anything the fda or vitamin co's are saying anyday.
Interesting! My wife was suffering from chronic migraines herself.
Have you tried "Foundations Of Life Liquid Multi-Nutrient Formula"?
We've been talking this since 2015. Haven't seen a better multivitamin yet, and especially, NO MORE HEADACHES.
Thank you for the information! I found this helpful as I had been hearing years ago about the "harmful effects" of mag stearate. I was selling vitamins at that and didn't know which way to go. Again thank you for clarifying!
Thanks!
Interesting information. My question is, just because magnesium stearate occurs in natural substances, does it mean, it's not harmless used as a filler? Ben Greenfeild said that magnesium stearate reduces the absorption of the supplement.
I love how he only likes the comments praising this video and casually scrolls past without engaging the important comments about the side affects people actually experience with mag stearate. Can’t argue with the natural sources of it, it’s great, but when its synthetically made (which it is) and put in our supplements, that’s a diff story. Very hard on the liver and should avoid if you have liver problems.
Stearic acid and magnesium are healthy...no issues there. But that does not mean that magnesium stearate is inherently healthy...it is a combination of the two and may have different properties than the two original molecules. Furthermore, the manufacturing of the supplement may lead to oxidation or other issues. I have zero evidence on either side; just wanted to point out an error in logic. You have inspired me to find research showing the safety of magnesium stearate.
Sarah Petty Magnesium is a salt, so mixing it with a negatively charge fatty acid like stearate will not cause it to be structurally altered.
But I hear you, please share any research you come up with!
Mike
Fantastic presentation and important content - I'm so glad you covered this subject as I have been thinking about it a lot recently.
Also, I think you may have mentioned in passing, the issue of breast feeding, (or at least that of pregnancy). Anyway, it would be really helpful to know more about this, as some people believe that losing weight whilst breast feeding will enable toxins previously stored in the body's fat to be passed on to the child via the mother's milk. Perhaps you could cover this in a future video or direct me to a source for more info.
Magnesium stearate is also commonly used as an inactive ingredient in the production of pharmaceutical tablets, capsules and powders. Chemical structure of magnesium stearate. Magnesium stearate, also known as octadecanoic acid, exists as a salt containing two stearate anions and a magnesium cation.
Magnesium stearate is generally recognized as safe to consume. If you ingest too much, it can have a laxative effect. It can irritate the mucosal lining of your bowels
Individual nutrients in isolated--perhaps industrially manufactured form--absolutely cannot be compared to their organic/whole food/natural form. I am not afraid of healthy mother's milk, chocolate, etc.
Hi Mike, Thank you so much for the research! Before I started training under Dr. Klinghardt, when I first started this journey, i did full training in QRA, I always had a problem finding the research to verify what they we're saying about Mag Stearate? Seemed everyone had a opinion but know one could show mw me the science! The only other person is Andreas Marx's from Marco Pharma and he basically says that it's good for you and everyone needs it! So Once again thank you for your hard work!
Interesting, Ken!
Yeah the research is pretty clear--stearate and stearic acid is everywhere--even breast milk and healthy foods.
Stearic acid is even found in 'super foods' that contain polyphenols (olive oil, dark, walnuts chocolate etc...) and somehow we still absorb those polyphenols--imagine that! :-)
Cheers,
Mike
Thanks so much for this! Such a relief considering the mega bucks of supplements I have containing magnesium stearate!!
P.s. ordered your book and can't wait to read it!
Thanks for that feedback!
Hope you enjoy the book,
Mike
Here is an issue though, magnesium stearate is neither magnesium nor stearic acid, but a mixture that is a soap. Just as sodium or potassium hydroxide (two forms of lye) and fatty acids make soap but on their own act incredibly different. Neither magnesium or stearic acid are bad for the body and are very good as you brought out, but can the body even use them blended together at all? Coconut oil is good for you. Water is good for you. Hydrogenated coconut oil is horrible. Your body uses methanol and methyl groups, but if you drink a tiny bit and you die. I am not saying magnesium stearate is dangerous, but this didn't show any evidence otherwise.
I don't mean to disagree, as I see no issue with magnesium stearate, but I trust your work because you use true experts and you present the facts. By saying magnesium is good and stearic acid is good so magnesium stearate must be good it makes it easy to believe, but no facts about magnesium stearate were actually presented.
Agree with your observation. would like to see Mike address this. Some of those in the health and fitness industry that say to avoid magnesium stearate are very credible people. I don't believe they are trying to just market their supplements above others.
Rin Nha other than the question of toxicity which doesn't even concern me that much i am also quite concerned about the physical properties of magnesium stearate. Some nutrients are fat soluble, others are water soluble. If you search for magnesium stearate on youtube you will see a lot of videos where people put some soda powder into a glass of vinegar and it reacts very strongly and disappears into the vinegar, whereas when they use soda powder mixed with magnesium stearate - in a fresh glass of vinegar - there is almost no reaction and the soda clumps up. Soda should react violently with acids so if magnesium stearate can stop soda from reacting with acids then i ask myself why we should believe that normal nutrients which are much less reactive will react with acids - including our stomach acid. Is the reaction of nutrients with stomach acids unnecessary? Do the clumps that are formed get absorbed normally in the intestines as the nutrients would be if they were fully dissolved in the stomach acid? Do other fats prevent reactions as much as magnesium stearate and what does this tell us about taking nutrients in general? I believe those are valid questions and this video doesn't seem to address them.
To expand that thought: for example chocolate will also not react violently with vinegar. Neither will almost any other food. On the other hand we have much stronger acid in our stomach, and it also contains other compounds. So maybe normal food will react just enough for nutrients to be absorbed later in digestive tract, while magnesium stearate will stop this process much more strongly, leading to a lack of absorption? The magnesium stearate has a different chemical structure and it is a different compound that might require a different solvent. For example there are solvents that easily eat PP plastic which is resistent to nearly all other chemicals. The physical behavior of magnesium stearate has not been explored or even questioned in the video.
Magnesium stearate together with calcium stearate constitute soap rings. Anyone knows those don't dissolve into water. The question becomes if they dissolve in hydrochloric acid (the largest part of our gastric acid) and how other things dissolve in it (eg chocolate, fats, oils, etc).
Further research brought something up.
This website talks about the chemical properties of magnesium stearate:
m.chemicalbook.com/ChemicalProductProperty_EN_CB5330900.htm
Quote: "decomposed into stearic acid and corresponding magnesium salts in case of acid". Therefore whatever nutrients you have in the tablet are surrounded by what effectively is tallow. Stearic acid is a fat and is obviously water repellent, so if it surrounds the nutrient it will prevent the nutrient from dissolving in water or acid. I do not know whether this prevents water soluble nutrients from being absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract. However, it is my understanding that this fat only gets broken down and absorbed later during digestion and only then the nutrient it encapsulates will be as reactive as it would be if it weren't surrounded by fat. Once the nutrient goes into solution - rather than be hidden inside of a tiny clump of fat - its area of interaction with the gastrointestinal tract greatly increases which, according tobmy understanding, might increase the absorption, but this is just conjecture. Still, absent any proof, it is difficult to see how the nutrient - especially if it's wster soluble - will absorb just as well when it's surrounded by stearic acid, plus a magnesium salt which will make it more difficult for the acid to react with the stearic acid. Based on this alone i would be careful of magnesium stearate.
I try to get all of my supplements in the liquid or powder form, or in the form of what I grow in my garden with my own organic compost containing organic seaweed, so that helps me avoid the fillers and binders. Beyond that, it is not that hard to get organic/wild harvested/pure ingredients in supplements with minimal fillers or binders; and the ones that are necessary are generally cellulose, as in the capsule itself. For all you keto people, watch out for rice powder fillers in low mg/mcg produducts. And watch out for stevia products which commonly contain very bad ingredients! I use the NOW brand Organic Better Stevia POWDER, which has nothing but 100% organic stevia--no fillers or binders whatsoever. Buyer beware! Read your labels!
I have to say that on this issue, I have to agree w/+Breaking The Spell. I have to admit I haven't really heard specific companies consistently bashing competitors about excipients. Yet, it would be unwise to think that smear campaigns & brand wars don't exist (openly & undercover). I know that naturopathic offices were mentioned, but by in large most 'health food' grocery stores sell 98% of their supplements containing magnesium sterate, steric acid, etc. Most filler free supplements have to be sought after & found. -So, the filler free is probably not 'winning' by much anyway, if at all. The most that I have heard on a consistent basis over time, has been the issue of absorption; not that these things were necessarily toxic or poisonous. However, additives have always begged to question quite a few other variables. The issue, not of whether they exist in breast milk, the plant & animal kingdom; but what are the sources, the issue of them being isolated, the issue of the industrialization of these said ingredients, the fact that just because something is found to have health benefits doesn't actually make them a fit for all, etc. One size does not fit all.
Ie. I have never cared much for chocolate & that's me being nice & diplomatic by saying it that way. -Now, just so it's understood, I grew up partially in Germany & the U.K. where a person can taste & tell the difference between chocolate laden with wax & other additives vs. clean, untainted chocolate. -Either way, from childhood I've never been a huge fan.
-Turns out, based on scientific studies, I found out 21yrs. later & again 9yrs. after that, my blood type doesn't do well with chocolate; nor does my base, most consistent metabolic type. -Of course I tend to question much of these 'types' as well (particularly when they become extreme trends), yet it does resonate with me that there is some merit in some of these findings. I also want to mention that some of the blood type findings concerning blood type, digestion & chocolate (among other things) was found while I was researching the properly combined food eating lifestyle.
I guess what I'm saying is there seems to be a lot to filter, a lot to consider on both sides, in a truly neutral & objective way, questioning both sides. There's so much we don't know & there's so much to know & learn. -& Even at that, how healthy does one need to be to handle industrial use excipients that are also found in nature, in decent amounts?
-& If a person is of a current health stability & status that's consistently good, would they even care to or need to partake of supplements containing mag. sterate or anything else in question.?. -If they took supplements containing these questions, consistently over time; how would it affect them? -Would it affect them at all? -What could be said of their midline health counterpart? -The sick or terminal counterparts on the same supplements? -What type of magnesium really? There's 'several' to say the least, from where, processed how? -What is it's affect with the various products that it's there to lubricate?
It makes me think about the argument of spring water over distilled. Many people thought & still do, that spring water occurs naturally, so we should drink it naturally. -Or that one has to add minerals to distilled water, when others say that one's minerals are meant to come by way of the whole food(s) they eat.
I figure if a person is not all that healthy, but sincerely is wanting to make a life change, but is just starting out at 47% healthy behaviors in all aspects; then if they add food based minerals to their distilled water in the beginning of their journey back to health, then ... it's better than whatever they were doing. However, some raw foodist down the street may find it ridiculous & 'obviously' doesn't add anything to their distilled water.
I agree, it seems ideal to eat what we grow & what is grown naturally & organically (because nowadays it has to be said) by others that we exchange with. -But, for sure it seems we have to critically think & consider concerning the whole matter. This may include motives, world view, personal view or learning a more expansive way of thinking about the diversity of where people are in terms understanding or state of health & how different that may be from one person to another. We do have to try as hard as it may be to be fair & unbiased in games of commerce.
-That's a fight that could go either way on the issue of these specific lubricants, so it's truth for sure that we should continue to seek. -Truth in my humble opinion is also capable of making room for nuance.
I hear what you are saying about mag separate in breast milk and olive oil, but is the mag stearate in supplements synthetic? And is this the thing that caused people to have side effects?.
According to Mercola debunkers, Mercola's evidence is supposed to be that mice cannot break down stearic acid, but since stearic acid is NATURALLY OCCURING in many foods that mice can tolerate well (and many foods in general), I say hmmm...Perhaps it is the whole food vs. the isolate? Never forget that the whole is not the sum of its parts.
Humans are not mice
@@fantasypeach8592 That's right!
Dr. Berg has none of these harmful additives in his sups. And they are sourced mindfully. Your welcome!
Consuming lecithin in adequate quantity with each meal will supply the emulsification for the entire meal and greatly increase bioavailability..
Thanks for the info ! I do Keto and was looking for a magnesium glycinate and couldn’t find any without magnesium stearate !
I buy magnesium glycinate from 5 greens. It's pure without any fillers.
Was just looking into this too
Nice! Hope it helped,
Mike
Glad to hear it. I was getting scared about taking my supplements containing mg++ stearate. No worries now
Could you kindly share the links to those papers? TIA
Alex Newell Time stamps are listed mate, you can see titles there.
Thanks
QUESTION: I bought Solar Ray tongat ali. The additional ingredients are vegetable cellulose capsule, cellulose, magnesium stearate, rice bran extract, and silica. My question is which of these ingredients are in the powder portion of the supplement and which are in the capsule? I want to know because I was thinking if I open the capsule and consume only the powder portion of the supplement I can avoid some of the unwanted ingredients. And would it affect the absorption and/or effectiveness? Thanks!
Completely inert. Thanks for the video. I would rather take magnesium combined with anything over calcium which we get too much of without trying.
Hey Mike.. I was wondering? you said that stearic acid is the most abundant and I was curious to see if it also might get oxidized very easily like other fats or is this not the case with stearic acid?
Final Start Fitness not the case because it's saturated
It’s saturated as was mentioned below, so no issues there.
Cheers,
Mike
Great video as allways,,,thanks a lot
Thank you!!! Most informative.
Glad you like it!
Mike
Hi Mike, really appreciate this video. I am under the impression that IONIC minerals (liquid) are in THE MOST bioavailable delivery system possible. That's what I take. Would u address this please? Thank u. Btw, u r 1 smart dude! 🤓
Hi there,
I've seen that around for a many years--it must work. I do like Albion minerals though as they have absorption studies to back up their data etc...
Thanks!
Mike
Thank you this was great and enhanced my learning.
Fine. You take it. Have fun with that.
I appreciate the investigative on steric acid etc But most multi vitamins are rubbish as there is too little of some vitamins /minerals and too much of another .
Also they tend to put the worst /cheapest forms in and Evan the more expensive will use say methycobalamin ( active form best for nerve damage but not good for over methylators )
and then use folic not folate etc .
ninjanicnic That’s you need a good brand, as you say many are not so good.
I mean lipid salts are soaps, that sounds like it would distrust lipid membranes, and perhaps clog them,
Think I might be done with all supplements, there’s always something that could be an issue with supplements. Don’t know what to believe.
great info, I really wanted to hear about this and has it on my research list already on hold, this helps me along thanks! hey can you do a video about supplements being mostly sourced from China, and the heavy metals in them? I have been researching this for a while now, with unfavorable results! I'm trying to find a good source for making my own potassium supplement among others, and clean potassium citrate is very hard to find!
Thank you for this video. I have been researching this and there's been so much conflicting information. Its frustrating. Do you have information about zinc piccolinate, orotate, chelate oxide, gluconate etc? And what do you say about chromium, and silicon dioxide? Lastly L lysine? Thank you so much again
Thanks for this video!
We all know that the WHOLE is not the same as the sum of its parts; just ponder that...
Maybe those things..olive oil, chocolate etc would be even better without the stearate acid--just a thought
Hi there,
Perhaps you didn't watch the video--to clarify per the research discussed herein, stearic fatty acid is the most prevalent in both the plant and animal kingdom; as well as human breast milk.
Why would we want to remove this and just how would it improve the many widely recognized 'health foods' foods that are naturally high in stearic acid?
Please explain logic!
Thanks,
Mike
Hi--maybe the same reason you would remove tomatoe skin-seeds due to their lectins-
Individual nutrients in isolated--perhaps industrially manufactured form--absolutely cannot be compared to their organic/whole food/natural form. I am not afraid of healthy mother's milk, chocolate, etc.
Hi.... great videos by the way
would you tell me how to to increase the Resting Metabolic Rate?
I want to increase it so I can eat as I want cuz I cook so good...but I want to stay lean after my long time fasting ...
I know that it is better to eat every other day or 1 on and 2 off but when I eat I want to eat as I please ... so how to bring my RMR high so I don't gain fat?
Best Regards.
Gaining weight is a great way to increase RMR--but I'm sure you're more interested in burning fat.
To do this, you need to keep insulin low.
We have tons of free interviews on this channel, if you want more hands-on meal guides and tutorials, we created this eCourse: highintensityhealth.com/keto-lean-ecourse-rsvp
Cheers,
Mike
BMR or RMR is most effectively increased through strength training and the addition of FUNCTIONAL weight (muscle).
Give your body a reason to add muscle with exercise, and you will burn more calories over 24-72 hours with the stimulus-muscle repair cycle.
It’s blocks Absorption!!! Wtf would I spend money on supp that’s blocked by up to 80 percent ??
Please update the information in your five year old presentation.
I am interested in the amount of magnesium stearate to be added to 100g of powdered herbs Thank you!
Every time I take any vitamins or pill with mag stearate my blood pressure spikes and I feel anxious. Why?
No idea what you're taking, when or how.
But it's highly unlikely that's it's from the stearic acid or magnesium.
Thanks,
Mike
I wondered what was causing these symptoms and i did some research. There were similar symptoms reported with mag stearate. Dr. Mercola took it out of his supplements when he had previously stated that mag stearate was harmless. Not true check out why Dr. Mercola took it out of his products.
Even though I avoid supplements with magnesium stearate, I think that your analysis should also look at the contents/processing of your supplements; there are so many factors. What brands do you use? Are they completely clean and organic???
BREAKING THE SPELLS I am very careful about what I consume and organic is a priority. I wonder if it is the source or processing. I have given this several tries in different products. Apparently this guy has not had a reaction to this in supplements or prescriptions. It is in both.
Hi there,
There are other options that can be used in manufacturing, like Palmitic acid (ascorbyl palmitate), MCT oil, leucine, and calcium laurate.
Cheers,
Mike
The stuff I get have no fillers no lube
I don't like how he keeps talking about stearic acid individually and that's naturally derived. Is it the same as lab produced stearic acid and stearic acid combined with magnesium. Because manufacturing processes can change the chemical structure and bioavailability of a substance!!!
very helpful!
Sooooooooooooo is it good or bad? Ugh
🤦🏽 He’s Pushing seed oil’s… Like sesame seed oil. Seed oils are not good for you! The oils have to be chemically extracted from the seeds and are highly processed.
I found out this week that I have a fatty liver, bought some milk thistle tablets, they have magnesium streatate extracts in them, could this be a waste of time taking them then?
Hey Mike, I'm pretty new into IF and my girlfriend has pretty bad gastritis. I was wondering if you've stumbled upon some research that assesed the effect of IF in people with gastritis.
Thanks in advance!
ArielBGlennn It’s worth a try!
Read about Cat’s Claw drops
I came across this video because it just sounded suspect even though I first heard it from someone I respected. We repeat stuff without checking it out first.
sorry, I don't buy it! You keep omitting the 'magnesium' part of the stearici acid.
Thank you.
Lauric acid makes up 47% of coconut oil, which is a medium chain triglyceride... 8 or 10 at most, not 14 or 16... Is that right?
MCT is the term to characterize FA chain length between 6-12 carbons long, at least that's how I was taught, Lauric acid is C12.
My concern is the SOURCE and PROCESSING of both the magnesium stearate or lauric acid.
The Material Safety Data Sheet has a list of potential health effects and it states they have NOT studied the toxicity of this substance. Why add a chemical used in manufacturing when you can buy CLEAN supplements without any added excipients & are easy to find. Sorry but I'm not putting this in my body! The BIGGER question is why are you trying to convince your audience to accept anything but clean supplements?
Thank you. For so long I avoided purchasing what would otherwise be great supplements because they contain magnesium stearate and the misinformation provided.
Yeah it's funny how people make a big stink about that. Strange.
@@Highintensityhealth thanks again for this information and all of the other great content that you put out. We appreciate it
You wanna know something terrifying ?

Really love Mike's talks, but would appreciate it if he'd just spend one talk with zero mention if the mike or the screen, or whether it's on.
Point noted, will try that next time.
Cheers,

High Intensity Health That's why I much rather listen to your interviews with other experts, because they're smooth, well-planned, well-framed about the direction you're going and you have a very good, flexible and professional style. I listen to these more informal talks because I feel I need the info and I have to. And don't mind at all if you talk about yourself and your life and how you do things (even if it's an entire show), find it really interesting, but not if it interrupts another topic or break the flow. (Mentioning your wife's pregnancy in this case was great, because it was interesting personal and very relevant.) Maybe it's just me, but that's why I don't listen to radio or many other health experts - they either waste time or they're bad speakers. You're an excellent, pleasant speaker with already high standards, so hearing you interrupt your talk with mike or reception trouble makes me switch off after a long, stressful day at work!
Citizen scientist? Is that the new phrase for a hack? ;-) ? I don't see science in your credentials. Love the ring ;-)
Dr. Andre White demonstrated what magnesium stearate do. Go check his channel.
Cy-toe-steer-ol haha, but other than that good as usual
Did I botch something? Wouldn't be the first/last!
Thanks,
Mike
High Intensity Health just pronunciation but not the facts, o really liked this video, as a chemist I despise companies that market fear to sell but I also get annoyed with people who believe it because they won't do 5 minutes of research, anyway keep up the good work
Must be talking about Mercola ...
Not specifically, I like Mercola and he's done some great things for our space.
There's a Canadian product line who's made a big stink about it lately.
The argument against stearic acid is based on weak, old science.
Cheers,
Mike

i heard semen is health for you
Dr. Berg has none of these harmful additives in his sups. And they are sourced mindfully. Your welcome!
Yes, he does... Take a 2nd look... Natural Vitamin B1, Advanced Digestive Enzymes, D3 & K2 Vitamin, Magnesium Glycinate and others ??? All have Magnesium Stearate.
