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?

I get one custom multivitamin made from getvitaminlab.com which I hope doesn't have maltodextrin in some of their ingredients, other than that the large majority of my supplements are from ND. Are there ND products that do not list maltodextrin in it?
Definitely would love a d3/k2 solution. Another additive that triggers crohns are emulsifiers like soy lecithin and xanthan gum, i believe a few of your other products also contain soy lecithin that I have always wanted to try but avoided due to that additive.

Soy lecithin is in SmartPS, but that's why we have the SmartPS Green version that uses sunflower lecithin. Any time we are going to use lecithin in formulas, we pick the sunflower based one for that reason.
Is the one you get from getvitaminlab.com in powder form in a capsule/tablet, or is it in liquid/softgel?
