Are the Mono and Diglycerides used in this product derived from animal fat or hydrogenated vegetable fat? Kindly answer.

It's just gluten free, not vegetarian. There is no indication as to the source of the fats used to make the product. However, if the product were also vegetarian it would likely be noted as such.

It is a vegan product. It only contains natural oils from plants, and then the gelatin capsules. If you look the product up on Amazon, it allows you to read the ingredients, so that you can make sure before you purchase. I loved these DHA, it allows you to get the nutrients that you need without the distasteful fish oil. I continued to use it even after delivery, because I wanted my child to still get the DHA through feedings.

Probably synthetic. I contacted the company re another product & here's their comprehensive reply. Also, please check the link at the bottom as it has more good info;) Thank you for your recent correspondence. Due to customer feedback and response, Life Extension is in the process of transitioning our product line to include ingredients derived only from non-GMO sources. Most newly-launched products will be free of ingredients derived from GMOs. Existing products with corn and soy-based active ingredients are in process of having the labels updated to list when soy and corn-derived active ingredients have been certified to be from non-GM food crops. As the labels are updated the information will be transferred to the product descriptions on our website and directory. Currently Life Extension already offers several premium quality non-GMO products. A list of Non-GMO Life Extension products is attached as a PDF for your reference. This list is not all inclusive and was last updated 11/4/2013. We do not have plans at this time to use the Non-GMO Verified Project; however, we appreciate your suggestion and will forward it to our quality control department for consideration in future product formulations. For more information on Life Extension's commitment to purity and quality, please reference the following document: http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Health-Nutrition-Awards/Good-Manufacturing-Practice.htm If you have any additional questions, please e-mail us or call the advisor helpline at (800) 226-2370; international customers dial 001-954-202-7660.

I think so, based on the label. Ingredients listed are: Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Pils, with Mono And Diglycerides added. However, label says "Made on equipment that also processes wheat, milk, eggs, soy, peanuts, and tree nuts.

It is plant based glycerin, derived from coconut & palm- so it is vegan (it is also kosher)

If you really want to know if it's organic, why don't you ask the company. I don't believe that they use farm raised fish for the product. They are a local company to the PNW. It is all fish oil that I can attest to, as I did the frozen gel capsule test and it proved that the oil inside was indeed 100% fish oil, since fish oil doesn't freeze unlike soy oil, vegetable oil and even olive oil.

The only "ingredients" are roasted peanuts and salt. The label states that it is NOT homogenized and that separation of the oil can occur. the brand was recommended to me as a true peanut butter with nothing added. Best I can tell you.

Safflower oil, gelatin, and vegetable glycerin, although it does not list where the glycerin is derived. Hope that helps

So...the substance used is from human cells?!!! The website doesn't reveal the source for the phospholipids. It is most likely that they are derived from soy lecithin.

This product is a combination of the ester forms of Beta-Sitosterol, Campesterol and Stigmasterol. Plant Sterols are plant derived compounds that that help limit the absorption of cholesterol from the digestive tract. This product also contains Fish oil from sardines, anchovies, and mackerel; and soy lecithin. This is NOT a source of Magnesium.

Not the synthetic, but natural d-alpha. However, the oil it is mixed with is gmo, if you care. I took it for years, but have switched to a non-gmo source.

The D-3 is extracted from Lanolin. The Olive oil, which is the only other ingredient I found this reply on the companies web site. I hope this is the answer for you..... QOUTE Hi there. I was just wondering what kind of olive oil is used as the base of this product? Light olive oil? Regular? Extra Virgin? As you may well know, some cheap, non-extra virgin olive oils can have soy bean oil, canola oil, or others mixed in. Overall, I'm just trying to figure out if this product is GMO free, before buying it. Hello, Thank you for contacting Seeking Health regarding the Optimal Vitamin D Liquid. The olive oil used in this product is virgin olive oil from Spain. It is harvested, processed, stored and shipped in compliance with the strict EU standards. We use only pure virgin olive oil; this product contains absolutely no wheat, dairy, corn, soy, fish, nuts, preservatives, GMOs, additives, colors, excipients or flavoring. Our manufacturing facility is FDA inspected, NSF certified and maintains strict compliance with cGMP policies. I hope this information helps. Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance. Thank you for your time, Sarissa

Coconut oil is non-hydrogenated, rest assured. It looks like it because of being white and solid below 76 degrees. I use it to make biscuits but have to be careful handling it as it will turn to liquid in your hands, cut it in with a butter knife. This oil is for the most part a medium chain triglyceride, too, and all MCT's do not require your gall bladder to process the oil as it does literally every other oil, highly recommended for those without a gall bladder. If there is a magic oil, it's this (followed by olive oil), forget the rest. Always make sure they're extra virgin and cold pressed.
