Don't like that this product has MALTODEXTERINE

It's a small amount and unless you have a maltodextrin allergy or specific food allergies, it should not be a problem.

I'm not crazy about it either but it's made from food and is used as a binder in some vitamin products. Many supplements have chemically derived binders that are worse than maltodexterine, at least it's a food product. Not much of an answer, sorry I don't know more about this additive.

its not a small amount if u take this capsules nonstop over time.Also, just because its a lesser of two evils, doesnt mean that u should take it.Maltodexterine has not been extensively studied in longitudinal studies.most of the people posting 5 stars, and for anyone in that matter, would not know of longterm effects until they are the piggy being tested on. also, i have a big problem with this company just making these nice pictures and "critical extraction" claims.

Apparently this stuff doesn't do much for you or against youj. It seems to be an inert ingrediate. Why it's added, I haven't a clue.

I couldn't agree more but I like it less that they sold out to Proctor and Gamble. I'm writing a book that is going to blow the whistle on all the corporations that have taken hostage supplements you buy.

Proctor and Gamble only has helped secure their supply chain. Most of their products are deccent and use good quality extracts in softgel dosage form with Halal/Kosher Gelatin used. The quality of the softgels though are not the best compared to Irwin Naturals and Nature Wise quality.

Perhaps because it doesn't have the corn sweetener maltodextrin added. I find it plenty sweet and have cut back on amount as I use it longer. But everyone has different taste buds! I won't buy another brand after using this.

Thank you for pointing this out! I started buying this because it had no other ingredients and no longer read its label. I was very disappointed to discover it now contains maltodextrin. I won't buy this brand again.

I don't know, but I hated the product. It looked like dirty wet shoestrings and the texture in your mouth was disgusting. I didn't even bother to return it - I tried to give it away, but eventually just tossed it. I thought I could eat anything, but I was wrong!

I had the same reaction when I bought this product. My suspicion is that they added the dextrose as an anti caking agent, but since we are trying to cut out all forms of excess sugar from our diets, I won't be buying this product again. I want the iodine, but not the sugar.

I just got a pack today and there's also maltodextrins added........that sucks.

These use Maltitol - which is apparently pretty much as bad a sugar (GI and carbs), but lets you use a a sugar free claim in your marketing. So, why is everybody so excited about this product? http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/nutrition/a/maltitol.htm

Under other ingredients it says: Non-GMO corn Maltodextrin as a drying medium.

if you are ordering pure Stevia Extract there should be no maltodextrin ... or anything else in it. I've purchased this a couple of times in the past and there was no maltodextrin. It's the primary reason such a small amount and this bottle goes such a long way. The products that contain fillers have to be larger to last. I am presently utilizing another brand (Now Foods) that is also labeled 'extract' and contains no other ingredients.

It also contains Maltodextrin which isn't listed on the container, but it is on their website. I find that a little strange.

The ingredients: Acerola extract with non-GMO organic maltodextrin (a complex carbohydrate - NOT sugar) as a drying medium

It says in the product description that it has natural maltodextrin (from corn). I think that means there is corn in some form in there.

Other ingredients: Maltodextrin, hypromellose, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, water, dexrin, magnesium stearate, caramel color. Contains wheat and soy.

Go to any other website and read the ingredients if shown....yes it does indeed now contain maltodextrin. But at least it doesn't contain "natural flavors".

Mine is long gone, I don't know. It had a variation of sugar added, unfortunately. I don't recall if it was maltodextrin, or what.

YES! The "New" formula now contains maltodextrin. I have an old bottle and a new bottle. Is there a way to add a picture...I can confirm with a picture. Highly disappointed.
