DOES IT WORK?
This is microcrystalline cellulose with marketing-friendly labeling. 'Hypoallergenic plant fiber' sounds fancier, but it's the same safe, inert cellulose filler found in thousands of supplements. The hypoallergenic claim is accurate since cellulose doesn't trigger allergies, but that's true of all pharmaceutical-grade cellulose.
