Science Behind It

Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a cruciferous vegetable with a root used for its adaptogenic properties. It doesn't directly provide hormones but is believed to act on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, helping to balance the endocrine system. It contains unique compounds called macamides and macaenes, which are thought to be responsible for its effects on energy, mood, and reproductive health, possibly by influencing neurotransmitter levels and cellular energy production.

Microcrystalline Cellulose

Acts as a fiber (though typically in small amounts in supplements), provides structure to tablets, generally recognized as safe.

Key Function

Bulking agent, binder, disintegrant.

What it's used for

Pharmaceutical and food additive, mainly as an excipient in tablets and capsules.

Key Benefits

Acts as a fiber (though typically in small amounts in supplements), provides structure to tablets, generally recognized as safe.

Science Behind It

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose. It's an inert, insoluble dietary fiber that is not digested or absorbed by the body. In supplement formulations, its primary role is as a binder to hold ingredients together, a filler or bulking agent to increase tablet size, and a disintegrant to help tablets break down in the digestive tract.

Di Calcium Phosphate

Supports bone and teeth health, provides essential calcium and phosphorus.

Key Function

Bone structure, mineral source, bulking agent.

What it's used for

Calcium and phosphorus supplementation, used as a dietary supplement and excipient in tablets.

Key Benefits

Supports bone and teeth health, provides essential calcium and phosphorus.

Science Behind It

Di Calcium Phosphate is a compound containing both calcium and phosphorus, two essential minerals for human health. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, primarily stored in bones and teeth, providing structural integrity. Phosphorus is the second most abundant, also critical for bone and teeth formation, energy metabolism (ATP), and cell membrane structure. In supplements, it acts both as a mineral source and a pharmaceutical excipient (filler/binder).

Magnesium Stearate

Improves manufacturing efficiency, ensures consistent tablet/capsule fill, generally recognized as safe.

Key Function

Lubricant, anti-adherent.

What it's used for

Pharmaceutical and supplement manufacturing aid to prevent ingredients from sticking

Key Benefits

Improves manufacturing efficiency, ensures consistent tablet/capsule fill, generally recognized as safe.

Science Behind It

Magnesium stearate is a salt formed from magnesium and stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid.
