Re: Digestive Enzymes/magnesium stearate

[Guest guest]

I read somewhere to avoid supplements that have magnesium stearate as it is

toxic to the body, but the reason I do not know. Anyone have any knowledge on

the subject?

Suze,

I'll see if I can locate the source of the information that I posted on

toxicity and mag stearate. Again, I don't believe it cited a reason, but I will

see if I can find any info on that. It may be of no concern at all.

---->ron schmid writes about the downside of mag. stearate, but it has to do

with the dissolution of the capsule and absorption...didn't see anything

about toxicity. i'd love to find a digestive enzyme that *works* for my dogs

and doesn't contain mag. stearate, which i generally try to avoid. but i

open the capsules and pour it on their food, so dissolution of the capsule

is not an issue. plus they work! so the mag. stearate isn't preventing the

enzymes from doing their job.
