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

Thorne's NSF Certified for Sport status means their products are tested for banned substances and contaminants — one of the most rigorous supplement certifications available. Their clean formulations avoid the synthetic additives common in conventional supplements.
