Why did Nootropics Depot add Maltodextrin to Vitamin D?

I happened to be poking around products today and noticed that it now lists Maltodextrin as an additive. Maltodextrin heavily triggers my crohns disease and I find it to be a nasty additive. I recently got Vitamin D and thankfully it appears to not have maltodextrin in it. The old formula seemed to be working just fine, why would they add it in now? I'm just so thankful i didn't accidentally start taking one with maltodextrin in it, it would've been an absolute nightmare trying to track down what is suddenly triggering my crohns. Looks like I can no longer purchase vit d from ND :( Hass maltodextrin been added to anything else now?

We are using a microencapsulated D3 for improved bioavailability. In that process, maltodextrin is used in the spray drying step. We are not adding it in ourselves. It's a part of the microencapsulation formula. It's not going to be in an amount that will cause issues. However, if you try the tablets and have issues with your Crohn's, let me know and I will credit you for it.
