Is the corn starch GMO-free?

Yes! Our product is completely GMO-free! GMO stands for genetically modified organisms. Genetic modification involves the manual and targeted alteration of the genes of an organism by humans and is part of gene technology.

A modified corn starch (E1440) is used to make the gel capsule. This corn starch (Hydropropylated starch) is not genetically modified but just modified to obtain more amylopektin than the natural starch. It acts as a thickening agent for the material of the capsule. Modified corn starch is therefore not a genetically modified corn starch (not GMO).
