A great question! Under the listed ingredients you’ll usually find two different sections of active and inactive ingredients. To make it simple, the active ingredients are the compounds, which provide therapeutic and pharmacological effects, while most inactive ingredients are used to stabilize the medicine while in pill, serum, or any other form. In most cases, inactive ingredients have little to no effect on the medicine itself.
