Some "Health Supplements" are cheap. It's for a reason! They don't expect you to check the ingredients.

Why Two Nutra Bros Steers Clear of Magnesium Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, and Silicon Dioxide: A Commitment to Community Health
At Two Nutra Bros, we're more than just a supplement brand, we're a community-driven enterprise with a clear purpose: to ensure that every supplement we offer is crafted with the highest standards for your health and well-being. Unlike some low-cost suppliers who fill their tablets and capsules with questionable, low-cost fillers like magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and silicon dioxide, we take a different approach.
We believe that taking supplements should be about reducing health risks, not adding to them!
What Are Magnesium Stearate, Titanium Dioxide, and Silicon Dioxide, and Why Should You Avoid Them?
These three ingredients are commonly used as excipients in supplements—substances added to aid in the manufacturing process or to give capsules a more appealing appearance. But the convenience they offer to manufacturers comes with potential risks to consumers.
1. Magnesium Stearate: The Flow Agent with Drawbacks
Magnesium stearate is often used as a flow agent to prevent ingredients from sticking to equipment during production. However, its inclusion in supplements might hinder nutrient absorption. A study published in Pharmaceutical Technology found that high levels of magnesium stearate could slow down the rate at which supplements dissolve, potentially reducing their effectiveness. It’s also associated with immune suppression in animal studies, raising concerns about its safety in humans when consumed regularly.
2. Titanium Dioxide: A Whitening Agent with Health Risks
Titanium dioxide is used to make capsules look bright white and visually appealing. But in 2022, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) ruled that titanium dioxide can no longer be considered safe as a food additive due to concerns about its potential to accumulate in the body and damage DNA. Research published in Frontiers in Nutrition highlights how nanoparticles of titanium dioxide can cross cell membranes and possibly cause inflammation or oxidative stress—factors that could outweigh the benefits of the supplements they're found in.
3. Silicon Dioxide: Not as Harmless as It Seems
Silicon dioxide, or silica, is often used as an anti-caking agent to keep powdery supplements from clumping together. While it’s considered generally safe by the FDA, concerns arise around the size of the particles used. Nano-sized silicon dioxide has been found to accumulate in organs and cause tissue inflammation in animal studies, as outlined in a study published in Particle and Fibre Toxicology. While more research is needed, it’s worth questioning whether the minor benefits of a smoother production process are worth any potential risks.
Are Fillers Undermining the Purpose of Your Supplements?
Ask yourself: Why do you take supplements in the first place? Most of us turn to supplements because we want to support our health with natural ingredients. We believe in the healing power of nature, not in consuming a cocktail of synthetic fillers that may introduce new risks. These additives can do more harm than good, potentially negating the positive effects of the vitamins, minerals, or herbs you're aiming to benefit from.
When you reach for a bottle of supplements, you're looking for a boost in energy, immune support, or improved overall health—not for ingredients that could potentially cause inflammation or other adverse effects. So why compromise? At Two Nutra Bros, we believe that when it comes to your health, you should never have to choose between quality and safety.
Our Commitment to Purity and Transparency
We stick to our guns because we're a community-first organisation, not just another company trying to make a quick profit. We believe that the people who trust us with their health deserve better. That’s why we have made a conscious decision to leave out fillers like magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and silicon dioxide from our formulations. Our focus is on delivering pure, effective supplements that align with our mission to support the health and well-being of our community.

Choosing Clean Ingredients: Our Promise to You
We recognise that the supplement market is crowded with options. But it’s easy to see the difference between a brand that prioritises your well-being and one that’s just looking to move product. We aim to be your trusted partner in achieving your health goals, and that means being completely transparent about what goes into our products, and what stays out.
Choosing supplements shouldn't be a gamble. With us, you can rest assured that we’ve done our homework, made the hard choices, and put your health first. For us, avoiding questionable fillers like magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide, and silicon dioxide isn't just a marketing angle; it's a commitment to the principles that make us who we are, a community-focused, quality-first brand.
