It seems you are using HPMC capsules...I heard that pretty much all HPMC capsules have carrageenan as an additive, which does not need to be declared on the final product. Not a lot of folks seem to know this. Are you aware of that? I think a lot of people are trying to avoid carrageenan as it is potentially problematic health-wise.
