Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Vicky,  Here is another soy free, kosher vitamin E oil from Iherb.com  http://www.iherb.com/Solgar-Natural-Liquid-Vitamin-E-4-oz-118-4-ml/9742?at=0  Vicky, BTW what do you do, with the grains and the  alcohol on shabbat or on any other biblical holiday??   From: victoriarosehgp <victoriarosehgp@...> Subject: [ ] Re: Vitamin E Date: Thursday, February 10, 2011, 3:59 PM  Okay so I had my " duh " moment and googled Kosher vitamin E. I'm not familiar with all of the ingredients and what's good or not for this diet, so could someone look at these and let me know which one looks acceptable?

We keep a biblical diet here, which means no pork. And so, I need one without gelatin. The only ones without gelatin have soy in them too. Anyone have one they can reccomend? I will use tinctures if I need to. > > > +++Hi Vicky, > > I recommend Natural Factors Clear Base Vitamin E, but I don't know if the gelatin is vegetable or animal based - you could write to the company to find out. > > However, you can prick the softgel with a pin and squeeze out the oil to take it. > > It is on my iHerb page.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 > > Thanks, bee, but due to faith issues that wouldn't be acceptable. And an FYI - if a product says gelatin in it it is pretty much guaranteed to be made from pork unless it says kosher gelatin or fish gelatin or vegetable gelatin. +++Hi Vicky. I think it is wiser to check with the company, since listings on websites like iHerb aren't always complete. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi Bee! I am finally considering buying from iherb (my local guy is not doing so well in helping me keep stocked up these days, unfortunately) and am researching the vit e issue as well. I am confused, as two of the three brands that you recommend on the website have (or may have) soy in them. The page on iHerb for Country Life says it doesn't have it then says it does - I went to the company page, and it definitely does. The Natural Factors brand says it is " well tolerated " by those with soy allergies, but does not say " contains no soy " (also, the capsule is gelatin, in response to Vicky's question about kosher). Are we supposed to be avoiding soy altogether, or are these exceptions to the rule? Thank you!! - Lilithe > +++Hi Vicky, > > I recommend Natural Factors Clear Base Vitamin E, but I don't know if the gelatin is vegetable or animal based - you could write to the company to find out. > > However, you can prick the softgel with a pin and squeeze out the oil to take it. > > It is on my iHerb page.

Most soy products and foods are genetically modified (GMO) so that's why we must avoid it. Because of it, some products have Non-GMO on the label. However, if a product is not derived from soy and has a little bit in it, the harm would be negligible. I think people are allergic to GMO products, but not necessarily to those same products if they aren't genetically modified.
