Carrageenan Is Causes Inflammation!
When I purchased this product, I did not notice that it has carrageenan in it! There are very few things that are a must avoid like carrageenan, especially if you are trying to reduce inflammation. They use it in labs to trigger inflammation so they can see how well other things reduce inflammation. Honestly I don't understand why the manufacturer would use it: 1) most people taking CoQ10, especially with fish oil, have health problems that are directly linked to or aggravated by inflammation; 2) those things include heart and vascular health, which they specifically mention in their advertising; 3) carrageenan is a thickening agent so it is completely unnecessary in a softgel like this. None of the other Qunol products are made with it! Very frustrated, wish I could still return it. That's what I get for not reading a label thoroughly.
