Roll Call does not check drug interactions or assess personal safety.

Ordinary table sugar, a simple carbohydrate made of glucose and fructose joined together. In supplements it commonly appears as a sweetener, bulking agent, or coating component rather than an active ingredient.

Why it’s used

Used to sweeten chewable or powdered products, or to add bulk and texture, not for any intended physiological effect.

What the evidence says

There is no efficacy question here since it is not included for an effect; its safety and metabolism as a common food ingredient are well characterized in general nutrition science.
