Yes — Magnesium Capsules is ultra-processed.
Classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (capsule shell), which is an industrially produced stabilizing/encapsulating agent, and multiple isolated mineral and vitamin compounds (e.g., magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium citrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cholecalciferol). These are industrial formulations rather than basic whole foods.
Yes — Magnesium Capsules is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). Classified as ultra-processed due to the presence of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (capsule shell), which is an industrially produced stabilizing/encapsulating agent, and multiple isolated mineral and vitamin compounds (e.g., magnesium bisglycinate, magnesium citrate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, cholecalciferol). These are industrial formulations rather than basic whole foods.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
