Question:

In most cases vitamin E can be found in fish oil as an antioxidant. Currently I use fish oil and I was curious about that. Then I am also curious about the amount of purines. My chiropractor claimed that this substance is not good for the joints, is that right?

Answer:
Our fish oil contains the natural form of vitamin E, namely mixed tocopherols. This is a balanced mix of several forms of vitamin E (tocopherols). This is better than the mostly used D-tocopherol.

Fish oil does not contain purines. Purines can be found in proteins of fish, not in oil. Although the gelatin wall consists of protein, it does not contain purines either.
