==>Looks good Debra. So a person needs to take about 7 softgels per

day to get enough omega 3.

I guess that's why I assumed that it was OK. It didn't say " free of soy " ,

but it didn't have soy in the " other ingredients " list.

I almost got really excited about another fish oil product on Vitacost's

site. It said that it was free of soy, but in the ingredients, it had

soybean oil! What on EARTH is up with that? Last time I checked, soybean

oil came from soybeans.

I don't think there are fish oil pills that do not contain soy. I've

spent a lot of time on vitacost, vitaminshoppe sites and at local

pharmacies. The only brands that specifically claim to not have soy is

PharmaPure's Fish Oil and Country Life's Omega 3 Mood. I find the

claims hard to believe because they are also softgels. Please correct

me if I'm wrong.

==>Pure Fish oils wouldn't normally contain soy Gene, unless they are

made from synthetic sources. But are you trying to buy Fish Oil or Cod

Liver Oil? Do you live in the tropics where you get enough sun? Lucky

you, if you do.

==>There are many good companies that make softgels that are good.

Check out our cod liver oil folder in our files (left menu) for

websites, some of which I'm sure also sell fish oil softgels.

==>You could try putting a different subject line in so the group can

help you too - try " where do I get good fish oil softgels? "

The best, Bee

" Pure Encapsulations EPA/DHA Essentials " is what I get - contains NO soy. I

order from www.spinelife.com.

I take fish oil to regulate my mood. I understand many of the liquid

forms (of cod liver and fish oil) don't have any soy ingredients or

derivatives. I do prefer them in softgel form, though, as a matter of

convenience.

I have checked and the ones that sell fish oils do not state that

there is no soy in them. I've discovered the reason they have soy (or

don't mention that it doesn't contain it) is because it is their main

source of vitamin E. Research has shown that long-term intake of fish

oils may cause a deficiency in vitamin E. That's why fish oil makers

have been adding soy.

The amount of soy is probably very negligible, so it may be OK to

bite the bullet in this case.

Two other fish oils that do not contain soy are NOW Foods MaxEPA

1000mg and Smart Basics EPA Fish Lipid Concentrate 1000mg.

Does it say on the label that it does not contain soy? I have checked

the maker's web site (purecaps.com) and for that product, it doesn't

state this. Also, they have added vitamin E in the form of d-alpha-

tocopherol, which is usually derived from soybeans.

i have a questions regarding foods that are not

allowed and symptoms...

I ate kilbasi this weekend not realizing it was not

allowed( should have known because it tasted sooo

good)

and i had a reaction during the day with tiredness and

blood sugar feelings of ups and downs. I drank a lot

of water with lemon( because i cant add the salt as it

just burns my stomach) and it helped during the day,

but while sleeping my heart races upon waking up for

a few seconds. I have a mitrovalve prolapse, which i

have had my whole life and am just aware of with my

yeasty condition. the weird thing is i do my adrenal

trigger points treatment and the racing gets better.

What does that indicate? Those adrenals exercises

help me as does dry skin brushing, but my adrenals are

not sore when i do this exercise as the article

indicates they might be.

Thanks... Sue

It DOES in fact say " no soy " on the labelling.

[Guest guest]

They also add vitamin E because apparently fish oil can oxidize and

turn rancid quickly. The soy acts as a preservative. So I suppose it's

somewhat impossible to avoid soy. If you want to take softgels and

minimize the soy intake, the best approach is to get fish oils that

don't have tocopherols listed as being added.

Hi Gene, even " if " the vitamin E used as a preservative is made from

soy it is a small amount compared to the benefit you get from taking

the fish oil or cod liver oil. It may not always be possible to avoid

everything that's bad. The ideal scene is always best, but not always

obtainable.
