Solaray Astaxanthin Is Not Gluten Free

I emailed Solaray to ask if their Astaxanthin (1mg, 2mg or 4mg) is Gluten Free.

 

They responded telling me to call their "Nutritional Products Helpline" (800) 227-6063.  They wrote... "please note that we cannot respond to your inquiry unless you call".

 

So I called their Helpline... talked to "Sue"... and was informed "that product is NOT certified Gluten Free".

 

Not sure why they couldn't just say this in an email, but... good to know!

They know that a certain percentage of people will take it anyway, if they don't know any better, since it takes so long to get ahold of pharm. companies for info.  I was on hold several times for multiple hours over a medication and finally said "Well, I'll just go with their more expensive competitor.  Screw them."

 

I would imagine that they also don't want it in writing anywhere, incase the origin of their ingredients changes - plausible deniability if they tell someone it's gluten-free and then the ingredients change in 6 mos. and get people sick.

      Confused about my results

      By trents · Posted

      That's how I took it but I was confused because in your previous post you said of your biopsy, "and mine very much showed damage".  In the celiac antibody panel that was ordered, was there a test for total IGA included, aka, "Immunoglobulin A (IgA)"? This one checks for IGA deficiency. IGA deficiency can result in false negatives for the IGA celiac antibody tests such as the TTG-IGA and the DGP-IGA.

      The biopsy results were what said indicative of "weak or partially treated celiac disease".

      Exactly what component was indicative of "weak celiac disease"? Is that a reference to the endoscopy results or the whole picture of the results of the blood test combined with the endoscopy results? Villous blunting is the hallmark of celiac disease.

      Of course, what you breathe in eventually winds up in the gut because it gets trapped in the mucous lining of the airway and throat.
