Tinctures And Vitamin Supplements


Nanjkay

Recommended Posts

Hi all-

I get so nervous about taking supplements since the excipient lists are not complete and or I don't if there is regulation over supplements, so I bought some tinctures, however, the tinctures have grain alcohol. I am reading conflicting info. Is grain alcohol distilled alcohol?

Also, if a vitamin says "contains no gluten" on the label, are they legally bound?

Also, I would like to start taking colosturum. Any advice there?

Thanks all-

Nancy

I had a bad time with tinctures. I was using a few different ones (not at the same time), and I believe that they contributed to my leaky gut. Grain alcohol and it's safety for those with Celiac is still a murky issue. I decided better safe than sorry. A good herbalist can make your tinctures without the alcohol.

Thank you for letting me know.

How do i find a good "herbalist" without having to go to a health food store and dealing with capsules and excipients, etc? Have you found some online?

I did a consult with an herbalist in a local herb/wellness shop. Everything is customized for you. If you are near or in an urban area there may well be one near you.

I also have had some really bad effects from tinctures. I am sensitive to gluten grain alcohols though. My health food store calls about any that I have had an interest in. It is important the way you word a query about the alcohols and vinagers, because most consider them to be gluten free it is better to ask what the alcohol is derived from without asking 'is it gluten free'. Asking if these are gluten free will almost always get a yes answer from companies, asking what the alcohol is derived from will give you a more accurate answer.

      It looks like their most recent clinical trial just finished up on 5-22-2025.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?
    • Scott Adams
      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
