Brand review

Ecological Formulas

One of the more expensive options. Some capsules were not filled entirely. There is no customer service and no website to ask questions. Concerns regarding the additive ingredients – inosine and magnesium sterate. Magnesium Sterate is known to effect / slow the absorption of supplements and the capsules are not suitable for vegetarians.

From buyer reviews

Most critical review

“It has INOSINE 7.5 mg in it. I should’ve checked before ordering. I looked up this ingredient and not a whole lot is known about it. Should be advertised as monolaurin WITH INOSINE. Not a happy customer. Like I said I should have checked but the monolaurin I used before was ONLY monolaurin and assumed (yes I know what assumed denotes) this was the same. Will definitely read the label when ordering ANOTHER BRAND.”
