Calcium | Calcium is a mineral that is an essential part of bones and teeth. The heart, nerves, and blood-clotting systems also need calcium to work. |

Melatonin | People use melatonin to adjust the body’s internal clock. It is used for jet lag, for adjusting sleep-wake cycles in people whose daily work schedule changes (shift-work disorder), and for helping blind people establish a day and night cycle. |
Cellulose | Cellulose provides structure and strength to the cell walls of plants and provides fiber in our diets. Although some animals, such as ruminants, can digest cellulose, humans cannot. |
Silica | Increasing bone mineral density when obtained from foods. |
Stearic Acid | Stearic acid is one of many fatty acids that occur naturally in various plants and animal derivatives. It’s found in such products as animal tallow, cocoa butter and vegetable fats. When it’s used in cosmetic products, stearic acid primarily fulfills the role of a thickener or hardener. Stearic acid is the substance that helps your bar of soap retain its shape — just as it does in products such as candles, oil pastels and hard candies. |
Cellulose Gum | It’s a highly useful additive that acts as a stabilizing and thickening agent. |
Methylcellulose | It is used to relieve constipation by absorbing large quantities of water in the gut and so increasing the volume of the faeces. This has the effect of stimulating the muscles of the bowels to work and push the faeces out. |
Magnesium Stearate | Magnesium stearate is often used as an anti-adherent in the manufacture of medical tablets, capsules and powders. |
Glycerin | Glycerin is what is called a humectant. Glycerin helps maintain the skin’s water balance on an intercellular level. Glycerin in lotions or other skin care products can help prevent or combat dry skin. |
Carnauba Wax | These waxes also increase the thickness of the lipid (oil) portion of solid and stick-like products. |
