What’s Really in Your Supplements? The Truth About Fillers, Binders & Anti-Caking Agents
We didn’t set out to build a supplement brand. We just wanted to feel better. But the more we looked into the supplements we were taking, the more we realised something wasn’t right. Products that were supposed to be helping us were packed with ingredients we couldn’t even pronounce, fillers, binders, anti-caking agents. All the stuff no one really talks about.
So we did our research. We asked questions. We read labels. And what we found shocked us. That’s when we knew: if we were going to recommend supplements to the people we care about, we had to make our own. Clean, simple, effective with nothing unnecessary.
What Are Fillers, Binders & Anti-Caking Agents?
These are the “inactive” ingredients that most brands use to make their supplements easier and cheaper to produce. They might help with shelf life, machine flow, or making tablets look more uniform but they don’t do anything for your health.
💬 Fillers
Fillers are used to bulk up a product. If a supplement only needs 300mg of an active ingredient, fillers make up the rest of the capsule or tablet so it looks full. Common examples include:
- Microcrystalline Cellulose – refined wood pulp, used as cheap bulk
- Lactose – milk sugar, not suitable for lactose-intolerant people
- Maltodextrin – a highly processed starch that can spike blood sugar
💬 Binders
Binders hold a tablet together. Without them, the pill would fall apart. But many are synthetic or questionable in terms of long-term health effects:
- Povidone (PVP) – a synthetic polymer
- Gelatin – animal-derived and not suitable for vegans
- Modified Food Starch – often chemically altered
💬 Anti-Caking Agents
These stop ingredients from clumping together during production. Sounds harmless until you realise some of these are also used in industrial manufacturing:
- Silicon Dioxide – literally sand
- Magnesium Stearate – can interfere with nutrient absorption
- Titanium Dioxide – banned in EU foods due to safety concerns
