Look For Healthy Vitamins and Supplements: Free of Stearates
Especially those you plan to take over the long term
So stearic acid, also called magnesium stearate appears to inhibit absorption, be harmful to your liver, cause cell death in your body and suppress your immune system. We may not know if the small quantities of stearates found in vitamins are enough to cause health problems, but do you really want to be taking vitamins or other nutritional supplements on a long-term basis with these ingredients in them?

One brand we know of that is guaranteed from of stearates is the Quantum / Premier brand. Two online stores we know of that carry the Quantum / Premier brands are Total Health Secrets and Love Street Living Foods:
Love Street Living Foods carries the Quantum/Premier natural vitamins and also Gaia Herbs, Healthforce, Weleda and Organic Raw Foods.
