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!

Unless the product specifically states it is gluten or soy free we cannot guarantee that it is. You can see if there is magnesium stearate in the product by reviewing the 'other ingredients' listed on the label. We hope this helps! Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

The statements that Magnesium Stearate and Stearic Acid is harmful are contrary to factual scientific evidence. Some are even incorrect.

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.

The ingredients on the web say "Rice Powder, Magnesium Stearate" so I assume from those ingrediences that it is coming from rice only :)

I looked at Michael Blue Jay's Vegetarian guide. Magnesium stearate is listed under "possibly from animals" but not "definitely from animals". You may very well be right! See the list here. http://michaelbluejay.com/veg/ingredients.html

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. My wife, a physician who specialized in preventive medicine, nutrition and alternative medicine said magnesium stearate is a flow agent.

It says that the magnesium stearate (vegetable source) comes from palm oil, *(like that of olive oil). Contains no sugar salt starch yeast wheat gluten corn soy milk egg or preservatives. Hope this helps.

Magnesium Taurate is magnesium combined with taurine. It's my understanding that for oral applications magnesium must be bound to something. The issue is what is trying to be accomplished. Most other combinations of magnesium can result in some type of stomach reaction, stool softening or a laxative effect. May Taurate is about the only magnesium combination that we have heard of that doesn't appear to do that so that you get the benefit of the magnesium and the taurine.

No. It is a liquid gel cap. Magnesium Stearate is usually in pre-formed tabletsIf the stearate is plant derived it would be ok to take anyway.
