Re:nordic naturals fish oil

[Guest guest]

I'd worry about that natural lemon flavor until it was explained by the

company to be 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

[Guest guest]

Is tocopherol legal? I had thought that it could contain soy and/or soy

derivatives. As a result, I ditched the fish oil brand (Origin Natural) I was

buying from Target in favor of one from Kirkman's. However, the Target brand

seemed to deliver a higher dose of fish oil.

Thanks,

Jill

Jill,

From what I understand Tocopherals as an additive to a supplement are legal as

it is made from the fat (oil) let's say of soy and it is a minuscule amount.

Someone will correct me if I am wrong.

Not the healthiest thing and I try to avoid it.

I have a problem with Soy in general. Vitamin E derived soy does not agree with

me and items derived from corn don't agree with me.

But plenty don't have an issue.

Thanks, Marilyn. I assume that mixed tocopherols are also legal?

Thanks,

Marilyn,

How come?

Are tocopherols always soy derived?

In the Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega product, the lemon is listed as lemon oil,

so I am going to assume these are legal, unless someone corrects me.

Thanks
