Scary Ingredients in Your Vitamins #shorts
Dr. Janine shares some scary ingredients in your vitamins. She talks about the filler microcrystalline cellulose. Made mostly from wood chips commonly used vitamin filler can cause gas and bloating. She looks at the use of silicon dioxide as a desiccant commonly used in vitamins. Also found in the little desiccant packs you get with new shoes or electronics. The powder version is often used in many vitamins and supplements. She talks about titanium dioxide, the cousin of silicon dioxide, that has been banned in the European Union but is still being used here in North America. Lastly, Dr. Janine explains how the flow agent magnesium stearate is widely used in the vitamin industry but has never been tested for long-term human consumption, yet its material data safety sheet is very similar to common household abrasive cleansers.
