Renew Life Ultimate Flora Women's Care Probiotic Vegetarian Capsules - 30ct
Summary
This probiotic supplement contains a moderate number of additives, including microcrystalline cellulose and gellan gum, which are common in capsule formulations but contribute to its processing level. While the formulation lacks harmful ingredients like artificial dyes or sweeteners, the presence of multiple additives results in a moderate penalty. The product's ingredient quality is generally acceptable, but it does not reach the highest tier due to these factors.
