Sublingual Rhodiola alternative to Ceretropic's Super Rhodiola
Original post in this thread

I LOVED Super Rhodiola but when I ordered it, the ingredients listed monkfruit as the sweetener. When the product arrived, the ingredients read neotame as the sweetener (which is fucking poison).
Is there an alternative out there that's just as effective?
Ceretropic: If you're reading this, do you still make the monkfruit variety of Super Rhodiola?
Thanks

We most certainly did not say "no." This was the response my support team gave you:
Hello,
The L'Tyrosine powder does not have "flow agents/fillers", however, our capsules may. Depending on the product. Let us know if you have any further questions.
Thank you,
Also, the labels on our site list magnesium sterate on the L-tyrosine capsule bottle. We do not use any flow agents in our bulk powder, though. That's why my team told you that the powder did not contain it, but that the capsules may.
99% of capsules have flow agents in them. They are needed for the powder to flow smoothly over the encapsulation machinery, to prevent sticking and provide accuracy in the amount of powder getting into each capsule. Magnesium stearate is completely safe, and I have seen zero conclusive studies proving otherwise. The only people rallying around the idea it's not are those that sell alternatives, and want people to think their products are safer. I can look into alternatives. However, that would not be due to solid scientific reasoning.
Pure Encapsulations uses ascorbyl palmitate instead, but that seems to have risks with causing sensitivity to UVb radiation. Thorne uses silicon dioxide and leucine. However, you can find articles talking about the risks of those as well. Both those companies tout their lack of fillers and excipients, but they are just using different ones. Everyone uses some form of filler and excipient in their capsules. It's just virtually impossible to do it otherwise, or you have massive amounts of loss and inconsistent fill volumes.
