Is anyone concerned about the use of "caramel color" in these softgels? I've read that we should avoid it.

Truthfully, we have used Barlean's Flax Oil Capsules that say " Each light-resistant caramel-coated gelatin softgel contains unrefined and unfiltered organic flaxseed oil, organic flaxseed particulate.". If you opt for their ORGANIC softgels, the coating is Carob (it tastes wierd to me-so we go with the 1st option. You may want to shop a little on Amazon, they likely have it available in the ORGANIC form or perhaps you could also choose to just use the liquid form in a 32 OZ bottle to try. Hope that helps. We have used these for perhaps 7 or 8 years now...

I never gave it any thought, actually. I am 66, have Kidney Disease (not on dialysis) and I have gotten better since beginning my regimen of 3-4 1000 mg gel caps per day.

The response I got from NOW Foods on this issue: No Worry. This is a concentrated extract. Some of the new material is very light. A natural variance and within our specification reflective of a higher concentration in the original material. We've tested and confirmed the lighter color product for identity, purity, and potency.

Thank you...great news! I am down to the last few softgels in my current bottle and am placing a "prime" order as soon as I post this reply. This is one of my favorite supplements, from skin improvements to no more "floaters"...and an excellent price to boot!

I bought the caramel color and it is exactly as shown. I really like mine and plan to buy a smaller one soon. Sue

I've mostly seen these used on stage lighting, which is hot. Generally they hold up well, but they can warp and melt if they are pressed directly against or too close to a hot light. If they have a bit of airspace between them and the light they seem to do pretty well. But I suspect there is variability across manufacturers, and the darker gels will get hotter than the light ones. My impression is that you will see warping before they up and actually melt on you.

technically yes, make sure it's a light color you get or the color isn't going to show up. I think it's too fragile to hold up to bleaching/coloring multi-step processing. I'm not affiliated with the company or anything, so I could be wrong. this is based on my personal experience with the extensions. I wasn't able to use them more than a month before they were beyond repair.

I have had no problems only using part of the bottle. And I almost always only use part of the bottle because I mix the colors. So no worries.

I questioned that also, the reply was no! It was suggested I buythe one with crystalline. Almost finished my first bottle, sometimes I see a lot more color. I'm not there yet, stilloptimistic though. Wish you all luck!

Make sure the machine is clean and there is no residue. I have the Cap M Quick machine and have not had any problem using these Capsules. I dont see any desiccant in mine either but have not had a bad batch. Try a new batch and if it happens again, then maybe its the machine.

I would consider it more of a gel. I use the tip of a little cheese spreader knife to get the color out. Doesn't take much color at all usually to get the color you're going for

Hello Craig. ProMix does not apply any chemicals or bleach to its whey and this sometimes leads to a darker whey than most people are used to. This completely depends on the batch of milk, but there is no need to be alarmed. ProMix prides itself on using ingredients that have been minimally processed.

No, I do not by the "jellies". I only use Rainbow Band opaque colors. I don't like the jellies at all and refuse to buy them!

none they are all the same, like shellac and gel, just two diff names for the same thing

Mine have always come to me with a pull-away-strip (molded thick plastic) lid security seal, and always contains a bunch of "buff" or "cream colored" filled gelatin capsules. It sounds like you've got something entirely different, and you shouldn't consume any of those, until you've had a talk with the manufacturer or seller, to find out what happened. Yours doesn't match with the pictorial description of the product found on Amazon.com. Good Luck.

I brought the gels out to compare. When I put the gels on the silver top of my Mac Book Pro with the luminance from the background they look exactly like thet do in this photo. When I put them on a white piece of paper, the colors looked a little more saturated. Though they are not as saturated as I had imagined gels would be, they are able to change the color temperature effectively.

I don't really know, but tend to think not. I buy my caramels only from Bayside Candy. They have their own web site and I am sure they would answer your question. Happy chomping! (The 5-lb. bag is less at Amazon than at Bayside's site.)
