What is the purpose of magnesium stearate in this supplement?
Magnesium stearate is often used as a “flow agent”, which means it is added to supplements in microscopic doses to prevent ingredients from sticking together (i.e. caking) and to prevent ingredients from sticking to equipment during the production process.
It is also a known excipient, which means it can enhance the effectiveness of the active ingredients, increasing bioavailability.
