Inactive ingredients, also known as excipients, play a crucial role in the manufacturing process of dietary supplements.
In the pursuit of health and wellness, many individuals turn to dietary supplements to bridge nutritional gaps and support their well-being. As consumers become more discerning about what goes into their bodies, it's essential to shed light on the often-overlooked aspect of supplement formulation – inactive ingredients. Why do dietary supplements have these added ingredients? Are they necessary? Are they harmful or safe for us? Let’s dive deeper into the role of inactive ingredients and learn more about their role in the vitamins and supplements we take.
The Role of Inactive Ingredients: A Necessary Component
Inactive ingredients, also known as excipients, play a crucial role in the manufacturing process of dietary supplements. For example, one common method of supplement production involves compressing ingredients into convenient tablet forms for consumption of the nutrients. In this process, certain inactive ingredients act as binders, disintegrants, lubricants, or serve similar purposes, aiding in the creation of stable, easily consumable tablets. These inactive ingredients all aid in the overall experience of taking the dietary supplement, assuring a seamless process of swallowing vitamins and supplements orally.Quality Matters: Food-Grade Inactive Ingredients –
