Introduction
At Vitatree, we believe your supplements should nourish your body—not burden it with unnecessary additives. That's why we’re committed to transparency, integrity, and ultra-clean formulations, completely free from fillers, flow agents, and toxic ingredients. One common additive we want to talk about today is silicon dioxide, an ingredient we’ve chosen not to use—for very good reasons.

What is Silicon Dioxide, Really?
What many people don’t realize is that silicon dioxide is often produced using nanotechnology, meaning the particles are engineered at an ultra-small scale—often between 1 and 100 nanometers. These nano-sized particles can interact with the body in unpredictable ways, and scientists are still learning about their long-term effects on human health.
Where You’ll Find It (Hint: It’s Everywhere)
Silicon dioxide is commonly found in:
-
Supplements and vitamins
-
Baking powder and flour
-
Protein powders
-
Salt, spices, and seasoning blends
-
Processed sugar (especially confectioner’s sugar)
-
Even some beers (used during the filtration process)
It’s also added to dried egg products, livestock feed, and—shockingly—pharmaceuticals. For those looking to live a clean, holistic lifestyle, this additive is one to watch out for.
Why We Choose Not to Use It
We’ve made a conscious choice to never use silicon dioxide—or any other synthetic filler or flow agent—in our products. Here's why:
-
Lack of safety data: The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has raised concerns over silicon dioxide, especially due to the presence of nanosized particles. As of now, they do not classify it as definitively safe.
-
Unnecessary and unnatural: We believe your body deserves real nutrients, not synthetic agents that serve no nutritional purpose.
-
Clean formulation matters: Every ingredient in our supplements is there to support your health—nothing more, nothing less.

Summary
Silicon dioxide is a widely used additive in supplements and processed foods—but that doesn’t mean it belongs in your body. Often created using nanotechnology, this filler offers no health benefits and has raised safety concerns, particularly in Europe. At Vitatree, we believe clean supplements should be just that—clean. That’s why you’ll never find silicon dioxide, flow agents, or unnecessary fillers in any of our products. We’re committed to transparency, purity, and supporting your wellness with ingredients that work—with nothing to hide.
