Anti-caking agent

An additive placed in powdered or granulated materials to prevent the formation of lumps (caking) and for easing packaging, transport, and consumption. They function either by absorbing excess moisture or by coating particles and making them water- repellent. Anti-caking agents fall under the category of excipients. Excipients can be natural or synthetic. Most brands of food and dietary supplements use synthetic excipients. Dragon Herbs does not. We use bamboo, tapioca or rice bran powder, all of which have anti-caking benefits and aid in digestion.
