Why do your supplements contain excipients? Can any of them be harmful?
Unlike excipients found in processed foods, those used in dietary supplements are essential to:
- Facilitate the administration of the active ingredient. We add an excipient when the dose of active substance is small, which often requires another excipient to bind the two ingredients together. Sometimes, the active ingredient must be released only when it reaches its destination. Probiotics, for example, contain living micro-organisms that must resist the acidity of the stomach to reach the intestines alive.
- Give a form (capsule, gel, drops, liquid...) suited to the most relevant administration mode.
- Improve the manufacturing process during which there may be some problems. Powders may have difficulty flowing in the matrices for instance, that is why we use flow agents such as stearic acid or rice flour.
- Improve the acceptability of the supplement. Sometimes, we use excipients because it is necessary to hide a taste and facilitate absorption, especially for children. Other excipients are used to produce liquid or effervescent forms that are easier to ingest. However, that does not mean our supplements contain flavoring, coloring, or preservatives!
- Ensure preservation or maximize bioavailability. Active ingredients are often fragile and can need antioxidant excipients or antimicrobial agents. In other cases, excipients help the active substance to be better absorbed by the body.

Supersmart is a reliable company
Supersmart is a reliable company. I know my product will arrive, and I am always charged exactly as ordered. Supersmart carries high-quality supplements. My last package, the Mastic Gum package is badly deformed from the shipment, but I checked inside and the content is preserved in tact.
