Thread: Supplement and Cosmetic Ingredients

I've done brief searching on the forum regarding this topic, but haven't really found what I'm looking for. Often is asked what supplements or or what cosmetics are allowed while on HCG, and you will see a list sprout up what's okay to use. However, we all know supplements and especially cosmetics change so much this list is often outdated quickly. I'm looking for a list of ingredients I should be looking out for to stop using all together in P2. Obviously anything with fat, oil, starch, sugar, or something that sounds like food, but when I read ingredients lists I can't make heads of tails of it sometimes.

Can anyone help with a list of NOT Safe ingredients in supplements in P2?

Examples for Supplements is I often see ingredients like this: Gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearic acid, vegetable magnesium stearate and calcium silicate in a lot of the supplements I take. Are these ingredients safe?

Also another Supplement example from my Doctor's Best Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM plus Hyaluronic Acid from Other Ingredients: Gelatin (capsule), rice powder, magnesium stearate (vegetable source).
The rice powder leads me to believe it's not safe so I don't take during P2.

Another example from other ingredients from a supplement I take: Other Ingredients: Gelatin, vegetable magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose and croscarmellose sodium.

Okay, I could go on and on with listing ingredients, but as you can see it can get crazy overwhelming to do that. So, if I had more of list of ingredients to look for that I means NOT SAFE, DO NOT USE! I think the could more beneficial.

Thanks in advanced !

Bees wax is not prohibited in supplements. Massages are warned against in the protocol, both for the oil component and for the disturbance it causes to the subcutaneous fat.
