Preservatives are used to keep supplements on the shelf longer. Artificial or synthetic preservatives can have negative effects on the body and are possibly carcinogenic. At KidStar we use citric acid (occurs naturally in citrus fruits), vitamin C (ascorbic acid), vitamin E, or spirulina as preservatives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.7″]<\/p>\n

Can hinder the body\u2019s ability to clot blood and is a potential allergen. Possible endocrine disrupter. Some studies suggest it may cause cancer in animals. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services lists BHA as \u201creasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen (cancer causing agent).\u201d<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”3.29.3″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.2.2″]<\/p>\n

Used as a preservative, thickener, stabilizer, sweetener, and anti-freeze in both supplements and pharmaceutical medications. Toxicity can occur and cause diabetic complications, heart problems, central nervous system toxicity, and seizures. Children, women, and those with epilepsy or liver\/kidney issues are at an increased risk of toxicity because they have lower levels of an enzyme needed to breakdown propylene glycol. Patients receiving high amounts of treatments containing propylene glycol on their skin are also at an increase risk,\u00a0<\/p>\n
