Question 1

Why is the magnesium stearate in this product?

Accepted Answer

Stearic acid is a fatty acid and magnesium stearate is therefore a "soap". It is effectively a lubricant for the mechanical process of encapsulation. It may also reduce clumping of the powder making the dosage more consistent between capsules.

All such additives must come from a list of FDA approved materials which are present in virtually every other manufactured food.

Question 2

Is this halal

Accepted Answer

Scripture cannot list everything that is allowed, especially since so many of the products that we consume every day were not even known when scriptures were written.

None of your teachers may know anything at all about the product. At some point, you must think this through.

For instance, none of the prescription drugs that many of us must consume could be prohibited.

This product does not deliver enough calories to break a fast and even the gelatin capsules could not have come from any animal.

Question 3

Explain the difference between 130mg lithium orotate and 5mg lithium. Does your product have 26x lithium of other brands or is only 5mg absorbed?

Accepted Answer

The listed 130 mg of lithium orotate can and must contain only 5 mg of actual lithium. That is true for every brand/product.

A chemical name/formula found in the listing and on the label describes a combination of atoms including the lithium. A lithium atom is among the least massive.

Because almost every other atom is more massive, any molecule containing lithium would only contain a small mass of actual lithium atoms.

Question 4

Is the bottle glass or plastic?

Accepted Answer

My 180 capsule bottle was plastic.
