Ingredients & minerals

Sunflower Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content, oxidation instability, potential for rancidity, excessive dietary intake may contribute to imbalanced fatty acid ratio

Canola Oil

High omega-6 fatty acid content leading to oxidative instability, potential for refining contaminants depending on processing, mild endocrine concerns due to processing residues in some cases

High Oleic Sunflower Oil

Oxidative instability at high heat if unrefined, rare allergy potential

M. alpina oil (a source of ARA)

Oxidation instability due to high polyunsaturated fatty acid content, possible pro-inflammatory effects with excessive intake

Soy Lecithin

Processing residues (hexane extraction), potential estrogenic effects, allergenicity in soy-sensitive individuals

Copper Sulfate

Potential toxicity at high doses, gastrointestinal irritation, liver and kidney damage with chronic exposure, not recommended for direct human supplementation without medical oversight
