Our Ingredient Pledge
At New Chapter, we craft supplements with the highest quality ingredients. If an ingredient doesn’t meet New Chapter standards, we won’t use it at all. That means NO synthetic fillers, NO harsh solvents, NO artificial sweeteners or colors. Here’s a list of the top ingredients that New Chapter pledges not to use.
NO Synthetic Colors
Synthetic colors are used in some supplements to offset color loss due to light exposure, temperature changes, and storage conditions, or to correct or enhance a product's natural color. New Chapter supplements let the appearance of our ingredients shine through. We don't use artificial colors of any kind in our tablets or capsules, and our gummies and liquids are colored only with fruit and vegetable colorings.
NO Aspartame
Aspartame is used in some dietary supplements as an artificial sweetener (sugar substitute). When New Chapter wants a sweeter product that tastes delicious, we use, for example, organic inulin from blue agave, organic stevia, organic tapioca syrup, or bee-friendly honey.
NO BHT
BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) is a lab-made chemical that is added to some foods as a preservative. BHT is typically used to prevent rancidity of fats and oils. The New Chapter approach is to use plant-based preservatives, if needed, such as rosemary and oregano supercritical extracts.
NO High Fructose Corn Syrup
Used as a sweetening agent in some dietary supplements and foods. When New Chapter wants a sweeter product that tastes delicious, we use, for example, organic inulin from blue agave, organic stevia, organic tapioca syrup, or bee-friendly honey.
NO Hydrogenated or Partially Hydrogenated Oils
Hydrogenated oils are used in some products to raise the melting point of the fats, and offer increased shelf life at a lower cost. Partially hydrogenated oils also contain trans fats, and are no longer considered “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS) by the FDA. Instead, New Chapter uses raw materials, such as organic sunflower oil or organic carnauba wax, to achieve the desired results.
NO Magnesium Silicate
Magnesium Silicate is used as a flow agent to prevent ingredients from clumping together. When flow agents are necessary, New Chapter typically uses either food-grade silica or organic rice hulls.
NO Methacrylate Copolymers
Methacrylate Copolymers are used as a glazing agent in some commercial supplement formulas. New Chapter uses an organic coating that consists of plant-based materials.
NO Methylparaben or Propylparaben
Parabens are used a preservative in some products to prevent bacteria growth. New Chapter designs our products so they do not require the use of methylparabens or propylparabens.
NO Polydextrose
Polydextrose is a complex carbohydrate made in labs from glucose. It is added to some foods and supplements as a prebiotic fiber. New Chapter uses chicory root inulin or aloe as prebiotic ingredients.
NO Polyethylene Glycol
Polyethylene Glycol is used as a binder in some tablets and pills. This type of compound is derived from by-products of the petroleum and natural gas industries. New Chapter commonly uses plant-based binders to make tablets, such as gum acacia or rice flour.
NO Saccharin
Saccharin is a calorie-free sweetener used in some chewable vitamin and mineral tablets. When New Chapter wants a sweeter product that tastes delicious, we use, for example, organic inulin from blue agave, organic stevia, organic tapioca syrup, or bee-friendly honey.
NO Sucralose
Sucralose is an artificial sweetener. When New Chapter wants a sweeter product that tastes delicious, we use, for example, organic inulin from blue agave, organic stevia, organic tapioca syrup, or bee-friendly honey.
NO Titanium Dioxide
Titanium Dioxide is a protective coating used to impart color in pharmaceutical products. New Chapter does not use artificial colors of any kind in the coating of our tablets, capsules, or gummies. Instead, New Chapter uses only materials that are derived from plants like rice, corn, and sunflower.
