Finding Hypoallergenic Nutritional Supplements and Avoiding Food Allergens in Nutritional Supplements

Finding hypoallergenic nutritional supplements is not easy because few nutritional supplements are hypoallergenic. You would think all you have to do is look at the ingredients listed on nutritional supplement labels and avoid the nutritional supplements containing the ingredients you’re allergic to.

Almost all nutritional supplement companies use evasive terms on their labels to hide common food allergen ingredients their nutritional supplements contain. Some companies even call their supplements hypoallergenic when factually they’re not hypoallergenic. If you have food allergies that cause physical symptoms (i.e. rash, itch), it’s fairly easy to determine if you’re allergic to an ingredient in a nutritional supplement.

But food allergies can cause emotional unrest symptoms by causing certain nutritional deficiencies. Even if you know you have food allergies that cause certain nutritional deficiencies, realizing you’re allergic to an ingredient in a nutritional supplement can be very difficult. But if you have this type of allergy reaction and are not aware you have this type of allergy reaction, realizing you’re allergic to an ingredient in a nutritional supplement is a 1,000 times more difficult. Needless to say, food allergies and the dishonesty of nutritional supplement companies can easily cause life long problems with nutritional supplements.

Where To Find Hypoallergenic Nutritional Supplements

Only a few companies sell supplements of individual nutrients that contain no other ingredients. No company sells supplements of individual nutrients that contain no other ingredients for all of the nutrients. Three nutrients, folic acid, B12, and selenium, are just not available without other added ingredients because of the small amounts needed (but necessary) by the body (measured in mcg – would need an exceedingly small measuring spoon).

Hypoallergenic

The term hypoallergenic is a very deceptive term used in the supplement industry. Believe it or not, supplement companies make up whatever definition for hypoallergenic that supports their corporate profits best, with no regard or concern at all for what a reasonable label reader thinks hypoallergenic means. There is only one definition for hypoallergenic – does not cause allergy reaction at all in anyone. Many nutritional supplement companies say this isn’t so using the definition they created for hypoallergenic. Of course their definition for hypoallergenic isn’t on the label.
