The raw materials, manufacturing process, and product do not contain any of solvents listed in Organic Volatile Impurities (USP<467>) & residual solvents (Ph – Eur<5.4>).

It is an inactive ingredient that binds the active ingredient in a pill or capsule
The FDA classifies magnesium Stearate as a glidant, or granulating agent.
Magnesium Stearate functions in medicine by preventing the different molecules used to make up the medicine from clumping together, thus ensuring that the correct dose is achieved in every pill made.
It is added to supplements to increase production speed as the machines fill the supplement capsules.
As an excipient, magnesium Stearate helps to prolong the shelf life of pharmaceuticals and masks the taste and odour of active ingredients.
