This is supposed to be a really good supplement. However, when I called the company to ask some questions about the ingredients…I got a scary awakening! I asked if any of the ingredients were fermented from fungi, mold or in particular aspergillus. I was told, “Oh no, none of our products contain any of that stuff…so you are safe with us on that.” I then asked what Pantethine Powder was. They said that it was related to a B vitamin. I then said that most B vitamins are fermented with mold, fungi or yeast…so I am surprised that your product hasn’t been made this way. I also said that a lot of the amino acids are fermented with fungi as well and there are two of them in this product. I was then told, “The Pantethine Powder is biosynthesized.” I said, “Do you mean that it is microbiologically synthesized?” They said, “Yes.” I then said, “Well, that is the same thing as being extracted from fermented mold, yeast or fungi and possibly aspergillus.” I was then told, “That is all I can tell you." And this informative hour was on my dime! It is a scary world out there folks…especially if you want to know what is in your food, drink and supplements and how they are made. If you have allergies and need to know these things, it is almost impossible to get all of the answers. If you are allergic to penicillin or other molds you could be allergic to aspergillus as well. So, please beware of what food, drink and supplements you put in your body…because more and more are being made with fermentation of mold (aspergillus), fungi, yeast and bacteria. These supplements are never 100% pure…so if you are taking several to many supplements produced in this manner, you may be getting a higher percentage than you think of these highly allergenic and perhaps toxic molds, fungi, yeasts and bacteria.
