Do these softgels contain carrageenan?

As far as I know vegan safe softgels are always made with carrageenan and starch. Non vegan ones are made with gelatin which is never vegan. Since the softgel is where the carrageenan is, technically it does not have to be listed in the ingredients, and not everything with softgels made of carrageenan lists carrageenan.

Yes, carrageenen is listed on the box with other ingregients. What is this & what does it do to you?Mary Alcorn

Yes. My most recent auto delivery was capsules instead of the softgels. There was a strong fishy smell when I opened the bottle and the capsule tastes fishy. I'm hoping this is not a permanent change. If so, I will be searching for another brand.

Carrageenan is not a sweetener, it is an emulsifier. Carrageenan is actually a seaweed product and can be consumed safely but it is unlikely that most sources are safe because it is the processing which alters the substance. This makes carrageenan questionable as an additive.

I'm sorry to say I never opened the capsule to find out. I don't think so, thou as they are capsules, not soft gels. I do know that I love them and they seem to help me with avoiding colds, flu etc when taken with my Vit D3.

Thank you for your question. Nature's Plus recently changed the look of the product a little, and did tweak the formula a bit. We are in the process of requesting the Amazon accept our changes to the page to reflect this. But to answer your question directly, carrageenan is not part of any of the active ingredients, but it IS part of what makes up the vegan capsule.

My answer was from the box of CholestOff original, 120 caplets. I don't want the gelatin in the softgels. Thanks Amazon for carrying the caplets.

I am not positive, but I am pretty sure they do, since most gel type candies that I've seen the ingredient list for have it as an ingredient.

I don't think so but it does contain carrageenan which I "heard" was not good for you.

They aren't softgels but they are time release. They are small. Smaller than an asprin. About the size of a claritin or a bit bigger.

Unusually, the label does not mention mgs or ius of the softgels. I do use the product regularly, nut another Health website has said that their product , heavy in curcumin, is better.

It does not contain carrageenan according to the ingredients list. I do look out for that on the PBs I purchase.

sucralose-acesulefame potassium-carrageenan are the last item's on the ingredients list. If you go to the website, they state all ingredients, plus vitamins and minerals. when I use this product I feel rejuvenated, also I experienced new hair growth at my hairline.
