Re: Nordic Naturals and soy

[Guest guest]

i've got a bottle and it says contains no gluten, yeast, milk derivatives or artificial colors or flavors. Contains vitain E derived from refined soybean oil. My daughter is not allergic to soy but I am trying to stay away from as many of the grains as possible. This is a pick your battles. God bless you all. Hope things get better for us and there are safer more effective products that don't contain allergens like corn, soy, and a host of others.

Thanks Mattea,

Pls keep us posted..

Just notice that in the latest bottle I got, mentioned Vit E derived from soybean oil, and I was so surprised! I didnt see that in their brochure in Kirkmann catalogue.

And what make me dissappointed is the Vit A content, which I though is between 600-1100IU per 2 softgels, and now with my bottle is 260-600IU per 2 softgels! I didnt notice it until last nite, so basically I was giving my son less Vit A since last month! as I assume that the vit A content is the same, RANGE of 600-1100.

I'm looking around for a better CLO.

Thanks.

Hi Mattea,

I google around but only find 2 brand, Childlife and Vital nutrient.. there is another one that require prescription so I dont keep tht in note. I tried to check vitalnutrient but cannot find more specific detail whether it contain any allergens (only found it contain ascorbyl palmitate, which i dont know its ok or not). Can you check with them? I'm from outside US, so its difficult to call them, timewise and costwise.

I didnt check Childlife yet..

keep me posted...thanks.

Apparently Green Pastures has no soy.

This was the email I sent asking them about it (certainly not conversationalists...)
