How does stearic acid in Chewable Vitamin C improve supplement's stability and effectiveness?

Stearic Acid  

Stearic acid is primarily used in the production of supplements for its function as a lubricant and flow agent.  

Prevents sticking: During the manufacturing process, stearic acid helps prevent the ingredients from sticking to each other and the machinery, ensuring smooth production and consistent product quality.  

Stearic acid is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) when used in accordance with good manufacturing practices. This means it's considered safe for its intended use in food and supplements.
