Inactive Ingredients

Millions of people need to avoid specific inactive ingredients in their prescription medications, OTC, or dietary supplements; from synthetic dyes and titanium dioxide to dairy, gluten, and corn derivatives. Until now, there's been no simple tool for patients and providers to check.

  • !
    Synthetic dyes linked to hyperactivity, behavioral issues, cancer risk and cancer in sensitive individuals, especially children
  • !
    Titanium dioxide banned in the EU since 2022, still present in thousands of U.S. medications
  • !
    Dairy, gluten, and corn based fillers that are allergens leading to inflammation, gastrointestinal issues and intolerance which are hidden in additives that most people never check

I don't know how to do what you are asking.

Synthetic Dyes & Attention (Nigg et al., 2012) Meta-analysis found synthetic food colors affect attention in children with an effect size of g = 0.27 on psychometric tests, with an estimated 8% of ADHD children having symptoms related to food colors.
EU Titanium Dioxide Ban (EFSA, 2021–2022) The European Food Safety Authority concluded TiO2 can no longer be considered safe as a food additive, leading to an EU-wide ban effective 2022.
