thought that it could contain soy and/or soy derivatives.

Tocopherol is Vitamin E. It is typically derived from soy, but is still

legal, just as liquid lecithin is derived from soy and is still legal.

I'm looking at these and the ingredients are: Ingredients: purified deep sea fish oil (from anchovies and

sardines), natural lemon flavor, d-alpha tocopherol, rosemary extract

I believe that Nordic Naturals was checked and that the lemon flavor was

lemon oil. Tocopherol is Vitamin E.

Thanks, Marilyn. I assume that

mixed tocopherols are also legal?

Mixed tocopherols are legal, and are better for you healthwise.

How come?

Are tocopherols always soy derived?

I believe it's possible to find non-soy tocopherols, but I also know they

can be hard to find. In additional, I know I'm stop-breathing sensitive

to soy, yet do not react to soy-derived tocopherols.

" There are eight forms of vitamin E: four tocopherols (alpha, beta,

gamma, delta) and four tocotrienols (alpha, beta, gamma, delta).

Alpha-tocopherol (alpha-Toc) is the main source found in supplements and

in the European diet, while gamma-tocopherol (gamma-Toc) is the most

common form in the American diet. "
