At a glance
Summary
This vitamin C supplement contains magnesium stearate, which is often used as a flow agent but can be seen as a filler that may affect nutrient absorption. The product has a simple formulation with only three additives, which is relatively minimal for a supplement. While it lacks harmful artificial additives, the presence of magnesium stearate and the absence of additional beneficial ingredients slightly lower its overall quality.
