No Nasty Fillers: Why We Keep Our Supplements Clean
Share
In the world of health supplements, not all ingredients are created equal. While many brands focus on flashy marketing and celebrity endorsements, they often rely on fillers and additives like magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and even titanium dioxide. These substances help manufacturers cut costs and streamline production, but what do they do for you? Spoiler alert: not much, and sometimes, they could even be doing more harm than good.
That’s why at Two Nutra Bros, we’ve made a commitment to keep our supplements free of these common yet questionable additives. Here’s why we believe a cleaner approach is better for your health.
What Are Fillers, and Why Are They Used?
Before we dive into why we avoid them, let’s understand what these fillers actually are. Fillers like magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and titanium dioxide are often used in supplement manufacturing to act as lubricants, flow agents, and anti-caking agents. Essentially, they make the production process easier and more efficient, helping to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the machinery or clumping together.
While that might sound practical from a production standpoint, it begs the question: are these ingredients really necessary for your health? When you buy supplements, you’re likely looking for pure, active ingredients that support your well-being, not substances that merely make the manufacturing process more efficient.
The Problem with Magnesium Stearate
Magnesium stearate is one of the most commonly used fillers in the supplement industry. It’s a compound made from stearic acid and magnesium, typically used to prevent capsules and tablets from sticking during manufacturing. But studies have raised concerns about its potential effects on nutrient absorption. Some research suggests that it could slow down the rate at which nutrients are absorbed in the body, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the supplements you rely on.
In addition to possible absorption issues, magnesium stearate has been criticized for being a synthetic additive that doesn’t offer any direct benefits to your health. At Two Nutra Bros, we believe in prioritising ingredients that have a purpose in supporting your well-being. That’s why we avoid magnesium stearate altogether, so you can be sure you’re getting the most out of every capsule.
Silicon Dioxide: A Questionable Additive
Silicon dioxide, another common filler, is used as an anti-caking agent to keep powdered ingredients from clumping. While the FDA considers it safe in small amounts, concerns have been raised about its long-term consumption. For us, it’s not just about what’s safe according to regulatory standards, it’s about what’s best for your body.
Silicon dioxide doesn’t add any nutritional value to your supplements. It’s simply there to make production smoother. We prefer to focus on the purity and efficacy of our formulas, ensuring that every ingredient we use serves a real purpose for your health. By excluding silicon dioxide, we aim to offer you cleaner supplements that don’t include unnecessary fillers.
Titanium Dioxide: A Hidden Risk?
Perhaps one of the most controversial additives in the industry is titanium dioxide. Commonly used as a whitening agent in capsules and pills, titanium dioxide gives products a bright, appealing look. But recent research has prompted some serious questions about its safety. Some studies suggest that titanium dioxide nanoparticles may be linked to inflammation and other health concerns when ingested over long periods of time.
In fact, the European Union recently banned the use of titanium dioxide as a food additive due to concerns about its potential impact on health. While regulations in other countries might still permit its use, we don’t think it’s worth the risk. At Two Nutra Bros, we would rather invest in quality ingredients that truly benefit your health than include potentially harmful additives like titanium dioxide.
What We Mean by “Clean Supplements”
So, what does it mean when we say our supplements are “clean”? It means that when you look at the label, you’ll find only active ingredients—no fillers, no synthetic binders, no questionable additives. We prioritise natural, high-quality ingredients and use manufacturing processes that don’t rely on the shortcuts provided by fillers.
Our mission is to offer you supplements that are as close to nature as possible, without the unnecessary extras. We believe that what you put into your body matters, and we’re committed to ensuring that every ingredient in our products is there for a reason.
The Real Cost of Additives: Your Health and Your Wallet
It’s worth mentioning that cutting out these fillers isn’t just about maintaining purity, it’s also about providing you with better value. Many supplement companies use fillers like magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, and titanium dioxide to save money in production, but the reality is that the consumer ends up paying for it. When you buy products loaded with these additives, you’re often paying for marketing and manufacturing efficiency rather than genuine quality.
At Two Nutra Bros, we take a different approach. Rather than cutting corners with fillers, we choose to invest in premium, high-potency ingredients and rigorous testing to ensure the best possible product. This means that when you buy from us, you’re paying for quality, not hype.
