Ive seen magnesium stearate advertised in competitor products. Is it the same magnesium used in CreXtreme?
No. Magnesium stearate is made by hydrogenating cottonseed or palm oil and used throughout the supplement industry as a filling agent and machine lubricant. Aside from being toxic, concentrated doses of stearic acid suppress the immune system. Companies that manufacture and transport magnesium stearate must file a Material Safety Data Sheet with the Environmental Protection Agency because concentrated magnesium stearate is classified as a hazardous substance. According to a study published in Pharmaceutical Technology, the percent dissolution for capsules after 20 minutes in solution went from 90% without stearates to 25% with stearates. Many people take more supplements and ingest pounds of this toxic oil we try to avoid in our diets – while directly inhibiting the utilization of the nutrients they’re supplementing!
