want to try this product because of the ratings by ConsumerLab. CocoVia has some of the highest flavanoids and lowest cadmium.But why carageenan?

Probably as a stabilizer. I take the CocoaVia capsules, which do not have it. My wife prefers the powder sachets, which do.

I am glad you are questioning this product it did not tast very good first of all then I saw there was carrageenan in it!!! The things healthy people have to understand is how bad carrageenan is (cancer causing) and the manufacturers of "organic foods put this horrible thing in yogurts soy milk, almond milk...I can go on and on anyway I pitched the rest of the box when I thoroughly read the ingredients. Be aware of things like this!

Not sure I just know it works. My legs don't cramp up at night and I do feel better when I take it. I like the fact that you can add it to any thing. I add it to my Mocha coffee in the morning. That way I get my chocolate fix for the day. Not sure if this helped or not.

it is a natural seaweed extract from the seaweed chondrus crispus and used as a stabilizer in many food items including icecream
998457
That is a good question, and I'll have to admit that I did not notice that on the label.......should have been more alert! It is used as a thickening agent of course, but I have to question why it was necessary to use carrageenan in this product. I don't like the fact that CocoVia thought it was necessary to use this in its product. I am not going to reorder this again after my supply is used up and am going to check for something that is more pure and without that additive.

According to their website, "In dark chocolate flavored CocoaVia® supplement stick packs, carrageenan is specifically used to help create a smooth and enjoyable drink consistency and to prevent the accumulation of cocoa at the bottom of your glass or cup."I use a pack each morning in my coffee. Since I sweeten my coffee, it's fine. It adds a nice mocha flavor.

Have they added Chromium to this-no. Does it contain some Chromiun-yes. All fruits contain trace amounts.

This rather small fruit tree grows wild in India and parts of the Middle East. As far as I can ascertain, most, if not all, of the fruit is harvested from trees that are growing in the wild rather than cultivated. I question whether that would make a difference in the nutritional value of the fruit either one way or the other. The people selling this product apparently think that the fact that this product is from "wild-harvested" Indian gooseberries makes them more desirable. Here's to our health!

Barb...I really don't remember. It has been a while since I took them. I don't think they did anything positive or negative for me so I never got any more of them. Sorry I was unable to answer your question. As with Dianne (see below) I also take Primal Defense (oh..that answers the question) probiotics. I have found that Enzymatica's Digest Gold works very well for me, has an excellent reputation and is a lot less expensive. I am in my 70s and this digestive stuff is important. I wish you well, Andie

I purchased a bottle in December of 2013. The label reads "Stevia extract - Stevia rebaudiana (leaf) supplying steviosides" and "Other ingredients: None." It's the best tasting product out of the 12 brands that I recently tried.

I can only speculate, because they are different products in regards to the amount of phytochemical contained. Special dark has been processed, and includes fewer. However, most people don't select the products for their health benefits but for taste. What's new-that is, unfortunately, the common denominator for most people.

Hi Joey~~I know a person has to almost develop a taste for the coconut water. They do sell flavored coconut water, but I didn't like those at all. I would think you could add a bit of your favorite juice and see how you do with it. I use Zico because I have a horrible problem with keeping hydrated and have been hospitalized for this. Keeps me actually from passing out and acts for me like an instant IV. :) Best to you, Joey~

get on naturalnews.com and do some research! hemp, pea, and chia don't have the high heavy metal content and its because all of the rice protein from china is being watered with water that is 80 percent more toxic than even their government allows. so when Mike from naturalnews.com discovered this in his lab he blew the whole industry up

I'm not certain why one would imagine this product to be "garbage." Read the studies easily available online. 20mg a day of resveratrol is enough to extend lifespan (based upon animal studies, however...No studies have yet been completed looking for this effect in humans). This product contains the resveratrol equivalent of 70 glasses of red wine. http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocenter/phytochemicals/resveratrol/#cancer It also uses vegetable cellulose for the gelcap, which is one indicator of quality investment on the part of the manufacturer. You don't want the cheaper "magnesium stearate" if you can avoid it. This product has every indication of being a quality supplement. I personally have high regard for the Nutri-Gold supplement line. They do their homework.

More info. I contacted company and they said 100% caco. The higher the caco, the higher the flavonoids.

Wow, this is a great question! I do not know the answer, but am curious now. I have emailed Omica directly. I'll keep you posted on what they say. I believe their products, especially this shilajit is far superior to many others on the market so I hope we will find very low levels of heavy metals. Interestingly, one of the many benefits of shilajit is detoxing heavy metals. This is the best shilajit I have found so far. Aside from straight tar shilajit which is very expensive and hard to get. I've had great results from it and love how smokey and dark it is. Please keep me posted if you reach an answer from a different source. Thanks!

Looks like your questions have been answered so this is my 2 cents worth. If you are looking for a Nutella substitute to preserve your health, there isn't one. They all taste like poop on a plate anyway. So just say no... Take up something less addictive and ruinously sugar clogged, say some kind of evil narcotic or the highly dubious Absinthe. Sorry :-)

Is there a specific ingredient that you are looking for or looking to avoid? Here is the link to Genesis Today so that you may view all of their information including the nutritional panel. Can I be of more help to you than that? http://www.genesistoday.com/products/garcinia-cambogia

According to the company website, this vitamin C comes from the Acerola cherry. We've been using this product for a couple years now and it is the ONLY vitamin C we buy. It is a great product, overall, compared to the choices out there. Well worth the price. I had a question once and I contacted Healthforce Nutritionals and they were very knowledgable and helpful. My only problem with this product is the addition of maltodextrin to prevent sticking, as most maltodextrin is derived from corn.
