Guest guest Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 , i'm confused about the paragraph below yours, these are from 2008. I wasn't asking you about cough syrups? Unless I've lost my mind? To: miralax Sent: Sat, March 17, 2012 7:33:00 AMSubject: Re: PEG We don't do standard OTC cough syrups, instead relying mainly on homeopathic formulas. To the best of my knowledge Chestal by Boiron does not have any PEG. It's what we use and what helped me get through this weeks nasty cold. Obviously it's harder with kids but there are many other possibilities available in your health food store or on line in places like Vitacost.com.

However, I purchased some Citracal w/bone density builder (the new stuff they're advertising) for my elderly mother and would you believe the third ingredient is PEG. > WHY would they need the PEG in this stuff? What's the purpose?? I like how they don't first mention it in the first info written as "it contains". > Also, the advertising of "significantly increasing bone density"---- up to 5% ? Now that's pretty funny!!!!!!! !! > > I returned it to Walgreen's promptly... > > Introducing NEW Citracal Plus Bone Density Builder. > > As you age, it gets harder to build bone density with calcium and vitamin D alone. Citracal brings you a new bone health supplement that not only helps maintain bone strength, but unlike other leading calcium brands, has Genistein, an ingredient found in nature in soy, which has been proven to significantly increase bone density by up to 5%.* > > IT CONTAINS: > > Calcium to fight osteoporosis > Vitamin D for unsurpassed absorption > Plus Genistein, an ingredient found in nature in soy, > which has been proven to significantly increase bone density by up to 5%.* > > Supplement FactsDirections: Adults: Take two tablets twice daily with food or as recommended by your physician, pharmacist or health professional. > > > > > > > > Serving Size: 2 tablets > > > Amount Per Serving > % Daily Value > > Vitamin D > 400 IU > 100% > > Calcium (elemental) > 600 mg > 60% > > Magnesium > 50 mg > 13% > > Zinc > 7.5 mg > 50% > > Copper > 1 mg > 50% > > Manganese > 2 mg > 100% > > Molybdenum > 75 mcg > 100% > > Boron > 250 mcg > * > > Genistein > 27 mg > * > > *Daily Value not established. > > INGREDIENTS: > Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Citrate, Polyethylene Glycol, Magnesium Oxide, Croscarmellose Sodium, Genistein (Soy Isoflavone), Manganese Gluconate, Hypromellose, Titanium Dioxide (color), Zinc Oxide, Magnesium Silicate, Copper Gluconate, Molybdenum Amino Acid Chelate, Sodium Borate, Magnesium Stearate, Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol) .

It is the top care brand of the Children's Mucinex. It has Propelyene Glycol is that just as bad as the Polyethelyene Glycol? If so can you reccomend any cough medicines that are PEG free? THANKS!!!!
