Moderate Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Supplement capsules and tablets are often made from gelatin, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), or titanium dioxide. The supplement industry has less regulatory oversight than pharmaceuticals, and many products contain undisclosed additives including titanium dioxide (banned in EU food products), artificial colors, and synthetic fillers.

Why We Recommend This Product

Athletic Greens' NSF Certified for Sport formula is rigorously tested. No artificial colors or titanium dioxide. The main caveat is the proprietary blend — individual ingredient amounts are not disclosed. The NSF certification is a meaningful quality marker.
