Why is there a notation " PHENYLKETONURICS; Contains Phenylalanine " . Is that something I should be concerned about?

You should only be concerned if you have PKU (a medical condition which doesn't allow the body to break down phenylalanine). While it is a byproduct of the artificial sweetener aspartame it is also a NATURALLY occurring amino acid found in high protein food sources (meat, eggs, diary, soy, etc.), it's actually an essential amino acid meaning your body can not make it itself and has to be obtained through your diet. Your body needs to have ALL 9 essential amino acids to synthesize protein.

Phenylalanine is an amino acid that can be dangerous esp to people who lack the ability to break it down. It is a by product of aspartame and has side effects. I avoid products that contain Phenylalanine.

Go to the Douglas Labs site. The Nutrition information on the label is long.

There are codes for many raw ingredients in the booklet, but you can't save the values you entered for nutrients to a code (though that would be a nice feature) so they will need to be re-entered each time you turn it on. It may be quicker to calculate by hand after weighing, or if you're tracking many nutrients then enter the multipliers in a spreadsheet (a free Google documents spreadsheet, perhaps?)

I had not taken notice of that error in the online image before. What I received was labeled as sucralose including the detail labeling and did, indeed, contain sucralose. The company that provides it is one which provides supplements to body builders and creatine is among those meant for building muscle. My only guess is that someone filed to proof the ad before posting it on Amazon. I don't blame you for being concerned but you can trust them to send you the correct item.

I contacted Uppababy directly and this was the customer service rep's email response: "We have received many calls from our customer about this warning. This warning is not specific to our product. It is just a general warning that is often found on on-line retailers and is accessed by a link, and does not tie back to our particular product. All of our products are certified and tested to pass all JPMA and ASTM standards. This warning does not apply to our products."

You're right in that "natural flavors" is a catch-all that could contain everything from completely benign ingredients to things you'd rather not eat if you knew about it. That being said, products containing aspartame in the US need to be labeled with "Phenylketonurics: Contains Phenylalanine". There does appear to be a proposed exception to this with milk products, but it hasn't passed yet.

I don't know why in Amazon was written "with carnosine". Carnosine is not among the ingredients in the sticker. There are many other ingredients helpful for the eyes. My husband use these pellets together with the eye drops with Cineraria and he likes them. He has improvements in his vision, but improvements are on steps. You have improvement for a period of time, after that no, after that again a new improvement, and so on. He has a very beginning of a cataract and Age related macular degeneration.

It is important to understand the difference as to whether a product "contains" animal-based ingredients, or is "derived from" animal-based ingredients. The distinction is that enzymes such as the ones we use in this product are highly concentrated and isolated from the source materials - whether that be from fruits, from pork or from fungi. This is very common and typical in the supplement industry. What this means is that someone with an allergy or other sensitivity to papaya for example, should not have to be concerned about taking the papain enzyme that has been isolated from papaya. Likewise regarding animal-based and other enzyme sources, however if a person practices a philosophical or religious avoidance of using ANY animal-sourced products, then we totally respect that and this is why we do not make any claim about animal-free ingredients. I hope that makes sense and is clear to everyone.

The product page on Amazon has images including the label ingredients. You can make your own determination if it's for you.

Karma Police thanks you for the question, Gwen. We are sorry for our delayed response. You are right to be cautious. Now we will reply to the seller. Karma Police did find a trademark application that appears to be for this company. We notice some discrepancies, though. For example, the word mark says "TRUE LIFE Nutrition" but your company is called "TRUE LIFE Nutrients." We suspect you may have some trouble with the Examiner on this account. Please also note that US trademark applications are public and searchable -- including applicant addresses. We see you have not hired an attorney to represent you. Bad move. Further, that website? We've been there. It appears you lost steam because you answered this question in March. Here it is May and it's still a template with no content. http://tlnutrients.com/ Doesn't match what's printed on the bottle. You seem to be having trouble deciding what the name of your company actually is. And...the product is currently unavailable on Amazon.

I just "googled" GMP and it means "good manufacturing practice." I would imagine that it would be desirable to have "GMP certified" on a label. I'm not a professional in health supplements and had only tried 5-HTP after having seen a story on it by Dr. Oz. I suggest sending your inquiry directly to the company that makes this product.

The letter "N - K - P" stand for Nitrogen, Potassium, and Phosphorus, respectively. These are the three macro-nutrients for plants.

I did not know that. I am aware that adulterated ingredients in human or animal food regardless of where those ingredients came from can have a harmful effect and avoid specific foods when problems are identified by competent authorities. I have never done a forensic examination of any of the milk bone products I've purchased over the last 20 years so I can't attest to their chemical composition. I can say that they've been a staple for the thirty-plus dogs we've adopted during those years with much apparent enjoyment and no apparent ill-effects. If that paradigm ever changes, I will promptly amend my review.
