Re: Fw: magnesium stearate ınfo

[Guest guest]

I am noticing recently that I seem to do worse when I take all my

supplements and brush and floss. Have not narrowed it down yet, but

magnesium stearate is one possibility I am investigating.

Thanks cindiwonderer for the notes.

Anybody else suspecting this?
