StephanieKunz Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hi! Could you please tell me if these supplements are compliant? I have a fish oil which contains natural tocopherols, beef gelatin, glycerin in addition to the fish oil (Carlson Elite Omega 3) Nature's Way Cranberry (which I really need because I have recurring UTIs) which also contains magnesium stearate and silica and Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes with cellulose, calcium sulfate, stearic acid, silica, and magnesium stearate (also a probiotic I may use which has gelatin and silica) Thank you!

thegoldengrahamgirl Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Hi Stephanie - I don't see where anyone responded to this, so maybe it's a toughie. The only thing I know for sure is that glycerin is a form of sugar, so that particular supplement would be out (unless of course it is part of a regimen prescribed by your health care provider). Gelatin should be fine. Any reason you can't drink unsweetened cranberry juice instead of taking an extract? I found that very helpful for UTIs. As for the other stuff, if you're eating Whole30, you're probably doing a lot more for your gut health than supplemental probiotics ever could. In general, I think you'll find the Whole30 stance on supplements is that there are very few (apart from possibly wild fish oil - and again, you could just eat more fish - and magnesium) that you truly need when you are nourishing your body with real, good food. Good luck to you - I'm also searching the answer on cellulose and magnesium stearate. I'm trying to source some alternative B vitamins, since mine contain glycerin. However, since I take the vitamin B-complex for energy support, I'm hoping that after a Whole30 I won't need it! Cheers, -Lauren (GGG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
