Moderate Exposure Risk — Why This Product Category Matters

Supplement capsules and tablets are often made from gelatin (animal-derived), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC, a synthetic polymer), or titanium dioxide. Supplement bottles are typically plastic. The supplement industry has less regulatory oversight than pharmaceuticals, and many products contain undisclosed additives.

Why We Recommend This Product

Ritual's commitment to ingredient traceability is unique in the supplement industry. They publish the source of every ingredient, allowing consumers to verify quality. No titanium dioxide or synthetic fillers.
