Does this contain any magnesium sterate or steric acid which is known to cause intestinal inflammation?

It does contain Cellulose (the capsule shell), Magnesium Sterate (vegetable source) and Silica, no Steric Acid. I have personally experienced no digestive problems in the years I have taken this product both on an empty stomach or with food.

This product is labeled as 99.9 percent pure magnesium. It is a liquid that is taken sublingually which avoids the stomach upset that can occur with magnesium tablets. In my experience, it is very effective.

Your question is unclear to me and you really should contact the manufacturer about actual ingredients. I don't see soy mentioned on the label and I do see magnesium stearate. (I personally don't buy into the hype about magnesium stearate FWIW)

I think not. I have a list of ingredients which are code for gluten (i.e. dextrin, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, etc.) and neither gelatin nor magnesium sterate are on it.Source: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=grain+brain

There is no "oil". It only feels oily. The ingredients include magnesium chloride and water. It is fairly dense and will burn sensitive skin. If it is too concentrated for your system you can dilute it with water in a spray bottle. Your intestines will tell you how much to use on your skin. Too much will cause loose stools. The right quantity will keep you regular and your muscles and joints in addition to your intestines will thank you as it makes a great natural pain reliever. I can't say enough good things about this product.

What the label says is: Magnesium as Di-magnesium malate, TRAACS (which is a trademark, according to the label) magnesium glycinate chelate buffered. Other ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose, stearates (vegetable source). I don't see any gluten or citric acid or maltodextrin listed by those names.

Hi Robert, thanks for asking this very important question. We will never use magnesium stearate in any of our products.

According to the back of my bottle: Other Ingredients: Di-Calcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid, croscermellose Sodium, Magnesium Stearate, Silicon Dioxide, Ethylcellulose, Methoxylcellulose. Contains no: artificial flavor or sweetener, preservatives, sugar, starch, milk, lactose, gluten, wheat, yeast, fish, or sodium. For what it's worth, I personally have never had any problems with this brand of melatonin. I have a very sensitive stomach, and this has never irritated it. Hope that helps!

It doesn't say. On each packet, under Supplemental Facts, it says: 235 mg Magnesium (elemental from magnesium citrate). Under ingredients it says: A blend of citric acid and magnesium carbonate - which, in combination with water, creates ionic magnesium citrate - organic stevia and organic raspberry and lemon flavors. It has a customer service number (866) 416-9216. They should be able to give you more information.

I do not know the answer. My wife has been using this product for years and has no problems. Check out an article "The Facts About Magnesium Stearate" by Byron J. Richards.

My wife, a physician who specialized in preventive medicine, nutrition and alternative medicine said magnesium stearate is a flow agent. Vets Best is well tolerated by our four cats. They all love it and their hairball woes are a thing of the past. However, Joseph Mercola, DO, has worries about the source of magnesium stearate. Go to his website at mecola.com for particulars. You might want to ask Vet's Best what their source of magnesium stearate is. Mercola says stearic acid supresses T cells and he'd rather see stearate removed from all products. If this bothers you, stick with the sticky, gooey stuff.

Magnesium Citrate is a known treatment for constipation. I had too much diarrhea from it to take the dose I needed.

The statements that Magnesium Stearate and Stearic Acid is harmful are contrary to factual scientific evidence. Some are even incorrect. Magnesium Stearate is used as a binder in almost all pharmaceutical tablet and comprise 0.25% up to 1.5% of the total content of the pharmaceuticals. In comparison - a commercially available 112 calorie chocolate bar has 1,283 mg of Stearic Acid which is substantially more than what's in the medicinal or supplement tablets. Magnesium is a necessary nutrient for bone and muscle health. Al commercially available Magnesium tablets contain vegetable magnesium stearate - it is NOT bad for you.

No, it doesn't have that effect on the bowels. It's the only magnesium I've found that doesn't do that.

Well if it is, it's not listed on the bottle anywhere. "Other" ingredients include: gelatin, microcrystalline celluose, magnesium sterate :( and silicon dioxide. Also :(
