please help me think this through . . . Jody?

Hey guys!

From the very beginning, our nutritionist wanted Elle K(19 mo.) on a

flax/borage oil supplement. But I was never able to find one. This

past weekend I found one by Spectrum Essentials, but I cannot dicern

whether it is legal or not. There are some things listed that Elaine

doesn't address either way . . . either that or I don't understand

enough to deduct logical conclusions. Please help!

I bought 2 forms . . . liquid and gel capsules because the

ingredients are different.

LIQUID: cold-pressed unrefined organic faxseed oil, cold-pressed

unrefined organic borage oil, mixed tocopherols (non-GE, non hexane

extracted natural vitamin E). It also says " bottled with an inert

gas for freshness; bottled in a facility that produces peanut and

tree nut oils. "

GEL CAPS: cold-pressed unrefined organic flaxseed oil, unrefined

borage oil, softgel (gelatin, glycerin, water, caramel color, carob).

I know that there are some illegals in the softgel portion of the gel

caps; however, Elle will not be consuming the capsule. I would

pierce the capsule and squish out the liquid for her. Does the carob

and caramel color still contaminate the product?

So since my nutritionist recommends this type of supplement, is this

brand OK? Which form should I select if it is OK?

Thanks!

Hey !

I have never heard of what you just said. Is this a flaxseed/borage oil

supplement? How did it help you?

Hi

Barleans is a very good company with impeccable care to keeping good

high quality products.. I would recommend this brand..Also Dr Yasko is

another great avenue for great quality.. spectrum has a history of having

rancid oils..for supplementation..I tend to steer clear of this brand for our

supplements..

To my knowledge, most oils are okay.

I would avoid the flavored gel cap version.

Dear ,

Thank you! I decided to forgo the Spectrum Essentials due to everyone's helpful

input. And after checking out your link, I ordered some of Dr. Yasko's

Essential Fatty Acid Capsules. I appreciate your help here.
