Does this use carob or caramel as a light barrier? On Jarrow's site, it says caramel. Here it says carob. Caramel coloring may be a carcinogen...

To be specific it is 4-methylimidazole (4-MEI) in caramel coloring that may be a carcinogen. It is not in all caramel coloring. Alarming levels of it were found in soft drinks, but not other caramel coloring- the single most used food coloring in the world, according to a 2013 report from market research firms Mintel and Leatherhead Food Research

I asked Jarrow directly and it is Caramel not caramel coloring. No need to worry.

You hafta trust that red light. The UV light has to remain sealed,it would cause a lot of damage to you if not. Like skin cancer,and possibly end up permanently blind.

Argon (blue) is supposedly more for blemish issues, and neon (orange) suggested for anti-aging and wrinkles. I read somewhere that the different color allows for the level of light penetration. Both really are effective if you just want to improve the overall health and appearance of your skin. Either one you use will need to be patient and consistent.

I never tested it so I am assuming the UVB passed through since it is a thin plastic and I would have hoped the manufacture did test that. Also I felt it was safer to have a protective barrier between the water and the light tube just in case. UVB does pass though plastics and some glass but may be "diluted" or refracted and depending on the thickness and the clarity of the material it can be blocked completely. Also UVB does dissipate with distance so you need to read the details to ensure it is placed appropriately. Hope this helps....

They both have the saccharomyces boulardii but I personally have never tried this product, so you might address the question to Nutricology as to which product has a feature over the other or why the 2 formulas. Let us know via Amazon!Actually just saw the answer posted...Personally a very knowledgeable Health Food Store Owner in Redwood CityCa,David Stouder, who has a radio show had recommended both Jarrow and Nutricology's SB. which has been in our "arsenal" for years and is tried and tested for us!MLG

As an added point, Potassium Bromate is considered a possible carcinogen by the FDA and banned in many countries. Know what you are eating.

I would say translucent. As long as you don't try to cake it on (which would be hard to do), it should be invisible. Yellow is meant to correct redness.

No, it comes out black. The added flavors are what give the caramel vanilla cream taste. You would have to add your own dairy/nondairy choice to it. Everyone in my family of seven like this flavor.

I do not remember if the bulb had or sleeve or not, but with all bulbs of this nature you can not touch them with bear skin. Oils from your skin can warp and damage your bulbs due to the high heat they produce; think video lights or stage lights if you have had experience with them, this does resemble a melted plastic look. Always wear gloves or use a pice of cloth to tighten or unscrew bulbs. Hope this helps.

This is straight pure carob from tree pods! Since it is a tree pod root I'm not sure if you will have a reaction but it is not processed at all :) hope that helps!

No, 99.3% of the UV produced by the bulbs is blocked for safety. Vitamin D from Sun exposure is due to the UV and bright light therapy is believed to work through the bright light hitting the retina and causing changes in the actions of the pineal gland. Please make sure to check legitimate medical sources for more detail and authorative information.

I sent it back, that product sucks! I got the Lamplust solar mason jar by sunlight. It was more money but it works great and has two settings- regular yellow and RGB mode...I own 3 now.

Some of them have some colouring, but it doesn't tend to translate into what you're cooking very much. So if you use some raspberry in a vanilla cake, it may get a very bare hint of pink. Keylime is totally colourless, raspberry's pink as is the cherry, cinnamon is pale yellow, etc, etc

Yes, all UV-C products produce dangerous amounts of ozone! See: http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/chem03/chem03323.htm

I don't know the answer about UVB and UVA rays I only used them one time as they were too big for my hands and got in the way of the polish. I feel like it is better to cover up all you can while using the light. I had a squamous cell cancer on my foot in a place that hardley ever is in the sun. Hope these work for you.

As I understand it, there is "Ultra Dark" (label toward the top of the bottle) which has the label of "Dark" at the bottom, and then there is "Dark Sunsation" (labeled toward the top of the bottle) which has the label of "Very Dark" at the bottom. I think the Dark Sunsation is supposed to be darker. I have both and haven't noticed much of a difference between the two, but I haven't tried to do a direct comparison, so there may be a little difference.

Water and wax generally don't mix and food coloring is water based. It will not burn properly. Candle dyes or crayons work best in my experience.
