So I looked at the inactive ingredients in my No-doz pills to take a look-see at just how much crap I'm putting in me when I take a pill, usually 5 a week on a normal week. The normal level of caffeine is 200 mg. per pill. The inactive ingredients I've listed and added my assumption at the form and function of them:

Benzoic acid: Light acid. Its salts are used as a food preservative. 5 mg for every kilogram of the body. Is the accepted amount before it becomes a body burden.
Carnauba wax: From the leaves of the carnauba plant. Tablet coating agent.
corn starch: Anti caking agent.
FD&C blue No. 1: Coloring agent. Banned in Australia, Germany and Switzerland for hyperactivity.
Hypromellose: Semi synthetic polymer, used for a control delivery component to delay the active ingredient.
Microcrystalline cellulose: Inactive filler.
Mineral oil: Prevents the pills from adhering to one another.
polysorbate 20 : Emulsifier.
Povidone: Water soluble polymer. A binding agent.
propylene glycol: Diol alcohol. Moisturizer.
Simethicone emulsion: Anti foaming agent
Stearic acid: fatty acid. Used to produce a pearly effect
Sucrose: Dissacharide. I guess it's just American to have sugar in everything.
Titanium Dioxide: Provides whiteness and opacity.

So what I don't really know is the level in milligrams that these substances are in the pills. I would assume that it is from greatest to least (I listed in the order the bottle had them in). At the same time, I wonder how much cellulose they use as a filler, alot would mean they are being cheap about the caffeine, how much Titanium dioxide content there is, since it is a carcinogen, and what the Sucrose is doing there. Without knowing the level of these, along with the dye and Benzoic acid, I cant calculate how much I take a week.

Thoughts?

Either take them or don't.

You can get pure caffeine powder from united nuclear if you don't want all of that other shit in your pills. Just get some gelcaps from a health store and make your own.

Email the manufacturer.

Just drink fucking coffee!
