What Are Fillers and Why Don’t We Use Them?

At Vitl, we keep things clean. That means no unnecessary fillers, bulking agents, or additives in your supplements.

Why?

  • Fillers don’t add any nutritional value.

  • Some can actually block nutrient absorption.

  • Others may pose health risks, and we’re not here for that.

Common Fillers We Avoid:

  • Aluminium silicate (talc): Thought to be a neurotoxin, linked to Alzheimer’s

  • Parabens: Linked to breast cancer

  • Propylene glycol: Can potentially affect the kidneys, heart, and nervous system

  • Magnesium stearate (stearic acid): May damage the intestines and block nutrient absorption

We also skip artificial colours and other additives that have been linked to conditions like asthma and reduced fertility.

Bottom line:

Even though more research is still ongoing, we’d rather stay on the safe side. That’s why we keep our supplements as clean and simple as possible. Just the good stuff your body needs.
