Fish Oil That's Actually Free Of Soy
Anyone know of one? Every one I look at (that's claimed be soy-free) either contains vegetable glycerin or natural tocopherols, or both. And of course, both of those ingredients are usually made from soy, despite what the ads claim.

Hi, Tex. I take Omega 3 fish oil from the Vitamin Shoppe. "Speciality" is listed on the label. I thought it was safe although now I see glycerin listed as an ingredient. Is that the same as vegetable glycerin? Ingredients are gelatin, purified water, glycerin. Does not contain: yeast, corn, wheat, gluten, sugar, salt, soy, starch, dairy, citrus artificial colors or flavors.

Marcia,
Bingo! I think that one will work, because most glycerin (aka glycerol) is made from animal fat, so the usual convention is to list simply "glycerin" on the label, unless it's sourced from something other than animal fat. IOW, if the label states "vegetable glycerin", then the source is vegetable, and that usually means soy.
The obvious risk is that the manufacturer might have just assumed it was cool to leave off the "vegetable" prefix, and there's no way of knowing for sure, but I think I'll take a chance on those, because as I mentioned, all of the products I've looked at so far (at Vitacost, Amazon, etc.), listed either vegetable glycerin or natural tocopherols, and we know those can't be trusted.
Thanks. I think I remember you mentioning that product before, but it apparently went in one ear and out the other.

Hi Brandy,
I actually bought some Neptune Krill Oil last fall, but after researching it (and asking my doctor about it) I was afraid to take it, because it is a blood thinner, and I'm already taking Plavix (for stroke prevention). So I gave it to someone on this discussion board.
I appreciate the link though. That appears to be a soy-safe product.
Thanks,
Tex

Yes, magnesium oxide definitely tends to perform as a laxative in sufficient doses. That probably occurs because it is very poorly absorbed, and unabsorbed electrolytes tend to cause D. That's generally true for any electrolytes. It's also the cheapest form of magnesium, so that's why it's so popular among some supplement manufacturers, but it's never a bargain for consumers (unless they're looking for a cheap laxative).
