Comparing E631 - Disodium inosinate vs E629 - Calcium guanylate

Is disodium inosinate bad for you?

No—at the very small amounts used as a flavor enhancer, it’s considered safe by major regulators; people with gout or high uric acid may wish to limit it because it’s a purine derivative.

Is disodium inosinate gluten free?

Yes, the additive itself is gluten‑free; it’s a purified flavor enhancer not made from wheat, barley, or rye (though the overall product may still contain gluten).

Is disodium inosinate and guanylate bad for you?

Not generally; the I+G combination is used in tiny amounts to boost umami and is regarded as safe, though those sensitive to glutamates or managing gout may prefer to limit it.

Is e631 halal?

It depends on the source—E631 from microbial fermentation or halal‑permissible fish/halal‑slaughtered animals can be halal, while material from non‑halal animal sources is not; check certification or the manufacturer.

What does disodium inosinate do to your body?

It mainly enhances umami taste by acting on taste receptors; once consumed, it’s broken down to nucleosides and uric acid and, at normal food levels, has no meaningful physiological effect for most people.
