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!
