Magnesium Stearate / Steric Acid:
Magnesium stearate is artificially mainly from genetically modified (GMO) plant sources for nutraceutical manufacturing. Coming from:
Cottonseed Oil – A risky genetically engineered crop and one of the heaviest residual pesticide sprayed crop.
Canola Oil – Known as rapeseed oil, also from a risky genetically modified crop.
Palm Oil – Palm oil contains Palmitic Acid, a saturated fatty acid the World Health Organization has identified as a contributor to cardiovascular disease.
Ineffective Absorption Rate-
Did you know you might be taking a supplement and not even absorbing the nutrients you need? Isn’t this why you take the vitamin or supplement in the first place? A study conducted in 2007 stated that tablets with magnesium stearate dissolved slower than ones without magnesium stearate after being placed in gastric juices. If the product isn’t dissolving then, it is clearly not being effective.
Immune System Deficiency-
Studies show that magnesium stearate can affect your immune system in a harmful matter. A survey carried out in 1990 shows evidence that magnesium stearate can contribute to damaging your T-cells walls. Your T-cells are a large contributor to your immune system.
Formaldehyde-
In 2009 a study by Japanese scientists discovered that magnesium stearate could cause formaldehyde to develop.
Contamination From Manufacturing-
In 2011 a report was done by the World Health Organization that states batches of magnesium stearate became contaminated with several toxic chemicals. These compounds were comprised of bisphenol A, calcium hydroxide, dibenzoyl methane, Irganox 1010 and zeolite (sodium aluminum silicate)
Allergies-
A study in 2012 reported that magnesium stearate caused a 28-year-old woman to have a severe allergic reaction.
Many people also stated on Treato.com that magnesium stearate contributed to their breakout of hives.
