I am not sure about the " vegetable capsule " .... that doesn't give enough

information. I would also rather know more specifically what " plant fiber " they

are talking about. Just the words " plant fiber " are really pretty general.

What brand name is this?

,

I went to the company's website... but it gives even less information there. It

still just says " hypoallergenic plant fiber added " ... this is as a filler,

inside the capsule. I really can't say if this is legal or not, based on that.

Is this the only one you can get? Or being recommended by your doctor?

You would have to contact the company directly... and have them tell you more

specifically what the fiber is. If it's one of the legal fillers (please check

www.pecanbread.com under " supplements " for a list of legal supplement

additives), then it wouldn't matter what the capsule was made out of, if you are

going to open the caps and sprinkle the probiotic into food or drink.

Otherwise, you'll need to verify exactly what the capsule is made out of, too.

Good... then maybe this page will tell you what kind of plant fiber they are

using. Compare that information to the list of legal supplement additives and

you'll be able to determine whether these are legal. I'm sorry, I don't have

time to research this in depth for you.

, I think it is the plant fiber that is in question and the faqs says it's

cellulose and this is what it says on Elaine's site

www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info. Pearl

Cellulose (in supplements) Legal Cellulose in your supplements is

okay and virtually impossible to avoid.

This is the info I found. Would someone like to give an oppinion as

to whether they feel it is legal or not??? Thanks

Is everything in the capsule listed on the label?

Absolutely. In 1991, we pioneered the practice of providing complete

ingredient disclosure (Accepted industry practice was to hide or omit

allergenic fillers or exipients). Pure Encapsulations supplement

labels list all ingredients. Additionally, if an herbal ingredient is

listed, our label details the strength of the standardized extract.

Do your products contain wheat, rice, gluten, dairy, fillers, etc?

No. Our products are hypo-allergenic. They contain no dairy, wheat,

yeast, gluten, corn, sugar, starch, preservatives or hydrogenated

oils. In addition, they contain no hidden coatings, excipients,

binders, fillers, shellacs, artificial colors or fragrance. Other

companies may use magnesium stearate, preservatives, BHA or BHT in

their products.

What does hypo-allergenic mean?

The term hypo-allergenic is used to describe products that are free

of binders, fillers, excipients, dyes, and common allergens

What is the hypo-allergenic plant fiber used to fill capsules for

some products?

The hypo-allergenic plant fiber we use is a pharmaceutical grade

alpha cellulose derived from purified specialty grades of wood pulp

from Southern pine. Due to the nature of the raw material (wood pulp)

and the manufacturing process, it does not contain alcohol, grain,

corn, corn starch, sulfa, sulfites, animal products or gluten. In

addition, it is free of pesiticides and heavy metals. There are no

known allergens in this plant fiber.

What is the source of your Veggie Capsules?

The capsules are made from Southern Pine, grown in the US. The pine

is pesticide free.

I think someone responded to you yesterday, saying that it seems that what they

are saying in this passage:

<<What is the hypo-allergenic plant fiber used to fill capsules for

some products?

alpha cellulose derived from purified specialty grades of wood pulp >>

....is stating that the " plant fiber " is basically wood cellulose. That is how I

interpret it. You will have to decide for yourself, though. If it's wood

cellulose, it would be legal, as suggested in that reply yesterday.

I'm sorry this is the closest we can come to declaring a product legal or

illegal.
