+++Hi Becki,

I have a bottle of Natural Factors Halibut Liver Oil I bought here in Canada and

it doesn't have Vitamin A (Palimate) 10,000 IU and Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol)

400 IU on the label.

Are you sure it is the Natural Factors brand and that is says Halibut " Liver "

Oil on it? They wouldn't be able to label it as Halibut Liver Oil if it

contains synthetic Vitamin A and D.

Bee,

Here is the link to the product I have but I bought it from

nationalnutrition.ca

http://naturalfactors.com/ca/en/products/312/mega-halibut-liver-oil

<http://naturalfactors.com/ca/en/products/312/mega-halibut-liver-oil>

I called the company and they said that it does contain synthetic

ingredients. I asked why and they said it was because they didn't have a

choice but they usually try to use natural ingredients. I'm not very

happy. That is very misleading to call something Halibut Liver Oil and

use synthetic ingredients.

Hi Bee & Becki,

Becki... good catch and good job calling the company.

My new bottles of Halibut Liver Oil do also state Vitamin A (Palmitate) 10,000

IU and Vitamin D2 (Ergocalciferol) 400 IU on the label.

Palmitate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmitic_acid

Ergocalciferol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergocalciferol

Not sure what the standards are for vitamin companies but I'm surprised they

haven't included a special label indicating the difference between real Halibut

Liver Oil vs synthetic ingredients that have nothing to do with Halibut Liver

Oil. It's false advertising.

Bee, let us know your thoughts.

Thank you in advance.

+++Hi ,

It is okay to take synthetic vitamin A and D in the amounts I recommend, since

even synthetic forms could only cause problems if taken in high doses for 6

months. You'd have to take 50,000 IU of vitamin A, and over 2,000 vitamin D or

more for it to have any adverse affects on your health.

+++Hi Becki,

Thanks for calling Natural Factors. They definitely should not label it Halibut

Liver Oil.

However, it is okay to take synthetic vitamin A and D in the amounts I

recommend, since even synthetic forms could only cause problems if taken in high

doses for 6 months. You'd have to take 50,000 IU of vitamin A, and over 2,000

vitamin D or more for it to have any adverse affects on your health.

Hi bee,

Is this issue with the halibut oil capsules a soy issue as well?

I am concerned about this product now & want to get a different product when I

run out.

Hoping there's not a soy excess worry with the synthetics.

+++Hi ,

That's another good question Natural Factors needs to answer. Ask them if their

synthetic vitamins A and D are derived from soy and whether the soy they use is

genetically modified (GMO). If it isn't derived from soy it is okay, and it is

even better if it is derived from something else.

All the best, Bee

Bee,

Can you receommend another fish liver oil capsule that has vitamin A and D

(the Natural Factors shark oil you recommend does not contain D)?

Thanks,

+++Hi ,

Here's Nature's Life brand that only has soy in the capsule itself so it is

okay:

http://www.iherb.com/Nature-s-Life-A-D-10-000-IU-400-IU-100-Softgels/24003?at=0

I've revised my iherb recommendations, removing Natural Factors and replacing it

with Nature's Life:
