Preservatives Have Been Added...
I used to like this product until I noticed with my recent order I received that they changed to a glass bottle and probably to offset that cost they added preservatives: hypromellose and maltodextrin. I'm trying to heal my gut not damage it more, so I won't be using this product anymore.
I emailed Mary Ruth's my concerns about these ingredients but never heard back..
Hypromellose (INN), short for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), is a semisynthetic, inert, viscoelastic polymer used as eye drops, as well as an excipient and controlled-delivery component in oral medicaments, found in a variety of commercial products.
Maltodextrin is a white, starchy powder that manufacturers add into many foods to improve their flavor, thickness, or shelf life. Maltodextrin is a common ingredient in packaged foods, such as pastries, candies, and soft drinks. When it is present, it will usually feature on the food label.
