Guest guest Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Jeanine I looked at stearic acid a year or two ago. Here's my reply: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BTVC-SCD/message/23661 Stearic acid is one of the additives that might be OK, but there are some long-term usage concerns. In other words, if you feel the active ingredient is critical, then you might be willing to risk the possible side-effects or damage caused by stearic acid. Wikipedia discusses stearic acid in detail. But I'd choose another supplement and avoid stearic acid. Just my opinion! Kim M. SCD 6 years > > Hi, > Is stearic acid a legal supplement ingredient?

It's common in supplements, but I'm not sure exactly how it functions in those supplements.n ______________________________A funny, touching gift book for cat lovers.
