Hi there! This product is cold-pressed and does not contain palmitic acid. The only ingredient in this product is macadamia nut oil, as it is 100% pure. We hope this helps!

There are saturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and mono-unsaturated fats. Saturated fats are the ones that should be avoided. Partially hydrogenated means that these are not saturated although it does not say to what extent. Olive oil is mono-unsaturated and it is considered good. There is no claim made that this product is health food only that it is sugar free. Also note that some sugar substitutes are considered problematic. If you want to eat only health food, go organic.

All fish oil has tiny amounts of cholesterol, but it is negligible. But science shows that people who take fish oil generally have a significant reduction of triglcyerides. I can't speak for how other companies set their prices. But, we have a direct relationship with the company that sources and distills the fish oil, so we're able to cut out the middleman. Also we feel strongly that everyone should take the highest quality product available so they get results, so we try to keep our prices down

no iron in it. my doctor says too much iron can cause a heart attack. if your iron levels are sufficient, you shouldn't need iron in the vitamin.

The only ingredient listed is roasted peanuts. The oil has been removed from the peanuts which makes it low fat. This isn't the case with other products, like PB2, which also removes the oil but has some added sugar and other ingredients. Highly recommend Protein Plus!

Dear Anne, I do not have the product in my possession, but I looked up the ingredients at the company's site online. It listed palm oil as the oil which in its natural form , is not hydrogenated, that is why it is used in many food preps. Just look up Boigaia probiotic ingredients online. Hope this helps. Priscilla

I don't see it listed in the ingredients. It says AHAs, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Phytoestrogens, Glycosaminoglycans in the summary.

I'm not sure if you're asking if it improves your heart health or if it causes heart palpatations or rapid heartbeat. If you're asking the latter - the answer is no. I experienced no rapid heart beat, heart palpatations, or "jitters."

This product contains sodium nitrate. Known carcinogen! And very much suspected of causing Alzheimer's!!! For a product that people should take to prevent clogging of their arteries including in their brains this is one to truly stay away from!!

Not sure...I know that is the main ingredient for tea tree oil to help with inflammation so if this one is pure as it says it should I would assume. You may have to contact the manufacturer for that answer because there wont be a breakdown of chemicals on the bottle or pamphlet.

The statements that Magnesium Stearate and Stearic Acid is harmful are contrary to factual scientific evidence. Some are even incorrect. Magnesium Stearate is used as a binder in almost all pharmaceutical tablet and comprise 0.25% up to 1.5% of the total content of the pharmaceuticals. In comparison - a commercially available 112 calorie chocolate bar has 1,283 mg of Stearic Acid which is substantially more than what's in the medicinal or supplement tablets. Magnesium is a necessary nutrient for bone and muscle health. Al commercially available Magnesium tablets contain vegetable magnesium stearate - it is NOT bad for you.

Doesn't say. On the bottle, there is a chart titled Guaranteed Analysis. It says crude fat - 99% (min.), moisture - 1% (max.), DHA -5% (min.), EPA - 5% (min). Has note that the EPA and DHA are not recognized as an essential nutrient by the AAFCO Dog Nutrient Profile.

The ingredients are listed on the package. If Ms. L is asking specifically to why I take the product Calm, the answer is slightly different. My review was that I take Calm, because my cardiologist prescribed magnesium for me to improve heart contractility. Although Calm contains other ingredients too, it is the magnesium in this product my cardiologist said I need for my heart. The rest of the ingredients are a bonus for me. This product has improved my heath status.

It is not food grade and therefore not purified for consumption as food grade would be. Don't eat it. However, if somebody were to accidentally eat some, it probably wouldn't harm them.
