Fish oil without soy, flax
Last Updated Sep 2007
Q: Is there any fish oil, etc., supplements available that don't have any soy or flax in them. I am trying to do Zone but am also recovering from estrogen-receptive breast cancer and may not have any soy or phytoestrogen products or supplements. Thanks.
A: Any fish oil supplement that contains flax seed oil simply degrades the benefit of the EPA and DHA in the fish oil as the omega-3 fatty acids from flax seed oil have no anti-inflammatory benefits. Our products contain trace amounts of soy oil as it is needed to solubilize some of the anti-oxidants.
