My Vitamins..

[majicbunnies]

Label says:

People's Choice

Natural Vitamins

Daily Multiple with Iron

Ingredients: (besides the vitamins) Dicalcium Phosphate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Stearic Acid, Magnesium Stearate, Paba, Hydroxyproyl Methylcellulose, Polyethylene Glycol, FD&C Yellow #5, FD&C Yellow #6, and Titanium Dioxide.

It says it has no ADDED: sugar, yeast, soy, corn, wheat, dairy, gluten, egg, fragrance, artificial flavors and preservatives.

That doesn't neccarily mean it's gluten-free though right?

AND is vitamin E safe? I saw a thread about it possibly containing wheat germ oil...I was confused and didn't understand it. Can someone explain that?

Thanks

I buy vitamins that say that and I think they are gluten free. What would be the point of them saying they don't add gluten if they weren't gluten free? Maybe the company is just trying to be careful about saying gluten-free because of CC issues. It might be the same as companies saying food is "made with gluten free ingredients". Many companies are afraid of saying gluten free.

I talked to my mom about the Vitamin E/wheat germ oil thing and she said that if Vitamin E is from wheat germ oil, it will probably say on the label. She sells vitamins (she is a chiropractor) so she reads a lot of vitamin labels. A lot of people look for wheat germ oil specifically, so the company would probably want to advertise that. I'm not saying that you can be 100% that Vitamin E is gluten free if it doesn't say from wheat germ oil on the container, but it will probably say where the vitamin E is from. I am going to ask her to ask the company she orders from next time she calls them. HTH

What brand? I couldn't find "People's Choice" anywhere (well, not anywhere - amazon and drugstore.com and google ) So is that the brand name, or something different? The ingredients certainly look gluten-free.

You can get E that specifically says gluten-free if you're worried about cc.

I use Nature Made. From their Vit E label -

"No Artificial Colors

No Artificial Flavors

No Preservatives

No Chemical Solvents, Yeast, Starch or Gluten.

Vitamin E softgels made to USP and Nature Made's guaranteed purity and potency standards."

" Polyethylene Glycol"? You call that natural? Good lord. You should take Twin Lab. They are made for highly sensitive and allergic people so there's mostly rice base in them. All the ones I asked them about were gluten free. I took the Daily Ones and they changed the formula and now they have citrus in them!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I take the Allergy Multiples by them.

I have called three times to different companies of manufactured vit and got an answer within minutes.

Go shopping, write down the 1-800 # and call. It takes minutes.

Not many of us can read the looooong words that they put in vit's, but it does not take long to find out.

Been around for over a year and I'm still learning.
