Supplement Labels
A couple of months ago I recieved a Source Naturals pregenolone supplement that had a "contains wheat/gluten" sticker on the top. I called and was told that they had to put this on because there was wheat in the building where it was made but it was not in the product. I decided to go ahead and take the supplement. This time I ordered the same product and there was no sticker. But then I got out my reading glasses and noticed that "Contains wheat/gluten" is now printed on the label. I called again and was told (after a couple of phone calls) that it is because of the ingredient sorbitol. I have researched sorbitol and it seems to me that it is corn derived. I think I will return the product this time but am wondering if the labeling law is going to cause suppliers to err on the side of caution and the result will be that fewer supplements are considered to be gluten free.
I guess I will go searching for a hypoallergenic pregnenolone.
