When it comes to supplements, most people focus only on the active ingredients—vitamins, minerals, plant extracts, amino acids, etc. But there’s a whole other part of the label we often ignore: the excipients, additives, and coating agents.

That’s why you might know someone (like my mom) who claims s.he gets sick when s.he takes the generic version of a drug.
