Hey Nutrili Family,

It’s Nour here! Let’s talk about something we all care about: what’s really in our supplements. You wouldn’t invite someone toxic into your life (well, not anymore, right?), so why let questionable ingredients into your body?

I’ve seen some things, friends. From unpronounceable ingredients to sketchy “proprietary blends,” the supplement world can be a little... shady. But don’t worry—I’ve got your back! Let’s break down five ingredients that deserve the boot from your wellness routine.

 

                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Magnesium stearate is like that annoying coworker who doesn’t do much but still manages to make your life harder. It’s there to stop ingredients from sticking to machinery (cool story), but studies suggest it can mess with nutrient absorption and irritate your gut. So instead of helping you feel better, it could be slowing you down. Not what we signed up for, right?  

Titanium dioxide might sound all fancy, but it’s essentially the stuff that makes your supplements look pretty. And while I’m all for aesthetics, this ingredient has been linked to inflammation and oxidative stress. Plus, the European Food Safety Authority recently said, "Yeah, maybe don't eat this." If Europe says no, I’m going to go ahead and listen.  

Hydrogenated oils in supplements? Yep, it’s a thing, and it’s not a good one. These oils are filled with trans fats—the same ones linked to heart disease and inflammation. Look, we’re all about love and kindness, but not when it comes to your heart. Let’s keep it healthy and free from these sneaky fats.  

Sure, brightly colored supplements look fun, but when you dig deeper, they lose their charm fast. FD&C Red No. 40, for example, has been linked to hyperactivity in kids. And don’t even get me started on artificial flavors—those “yum” moments could be hiding chemicals your body definitely didn’t ask for. Let’s keep it real and skip the fake stuff.  

Ah, proprietary blends—the ultimate “what are you hiding?” move. It sounds fancy, but all it really means is you have no idea how much of each ingredient you’re actually getting. It’s like a recipe with no measurements: sure, there’s flour in there, but is it enough to actually make a cake? We deserve better than mystery supplements.

Look, you’re here because you care about what you put in your body, and that’s something I deeply respect. Choosing supplements without these unnecessary, harmful ingredients is a huge step in supporting your long-term health. At Nutrili, I make sure everything is as clean, transparent, and high-quality as possible—no shady surprises, just real results.
