It has been mentioned elsewhere that Source Naturals are not putting stickers on all their vitamins that say something like "contains gluten". I have not bought any SN products recently. I do take a few of their vitamins so I called them the other day.
I asked if my methylcobalamin contains gluten. I was told that all SN products that have sorbitol, contain gluten. The methylcobalamin does contain sorbitol.
I then asked if the Folacin contains gluten - there is no sorbitol and it says it is GF. I was told, yes it has gluten too :confused:
Since I could not find another source of folacin - this is the active form of folate - I wrote SN. Here is the answer. I guess I will continue using this product
Thank you for contacting Source Naturals.
