It indicates above that it is certified free of PA's, but this claim is not listed on the bottle. How do we know that it is indeed free of PA's?

My bottle also shows that is is free of PAs. I took a picture to post, but unlike many other products this does not have a link to post a picture.

My latest bottle from Amazon now shows the following statement on the front label: "Free of Pyrrolizidine Alkaloids"

i would assume that it is not certified organic, as the label does not say it is certified organic (at least on the container I have).

I cant say the bottle I have does say Chemical-Free on it. I have had mine for several months.

Since it doesn't say it is USP certified on the bottle, it probably isn't. They have not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration, which I consider a plus. I really favor this particular brand for MK-7, Curcumin, and Quercitin.

I'm sorry; I don't know. I have since switched to Source Natural MigraControl (which I get on two bottles at a time on auto-delivery, which is so great). Source Natural is soy, sugar, salt, gluten free & appears to be vegan (no dairy or eggs). There is not a listing of the PA on ingredients or under warnings. If there is another way it's listed (I know how some ingredients can be listed under multiple names), please let me know & I will be happy to look and see if that is anywhere on my bottle.

I do not see anywhere on the bottle that it is USP certified, But it does say "Quality GMP Assured". I don't really know what this means. The brand name is NOW. You might look this up or contact the manufacturer.

I'm not sure. There isn't any info that states whether or not they did/do with this product on the bottle, that I could see, but you might find some info via Google/Bing that will answer this more clearly for you. :) I did a small search, and there is info about how they did (and do) test, but nothing I could see right off, about Downy Unstopables.

It is important to understand the difference as to whether a product "contains" animal or other ingredients, or is "derived from" animal or other ingredients. The distinction is that enzymes such as the ones we use in this product are highly concentrated and isolated from the source materials - whether that be from fruits, from pork or from fungi. This is very common and typical in the supplement industry. What this means is that someone with an allergy or other sensitivity to papaya for example, should not have to be concerned about taking the papain enzyme that has been isolated from papaya. Likewise regarding animal-based and other enzyme sources, however if a person practices a philosophical or religious avoidance of using ANY animal-sourced products, then we totally respect that and this is why we do not make any claim about animal-free ingredients. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for asking.

I just looked at my bottle and it does not say paraben free.... so I would say there is a good chance it does....

The bottle says that it is "made to Nature Made's guaranteed purity and potency standards". Nothing is listed on the label about USP approval.

Good question I've already tossed the box. The bottle has only one mark on it I do not recognize that says P51424-2, but I have no idea what that is in reference to. Sorry I will look at box next time

My bottle was ordered a couple of months ago, and it still says chemical free. Perhaps it's the old product? The ingredient list is still mostly extracts and oils, with Niacin and d-Biotin (?) being the only exceptions.

I'm unsure of that information I would contact the vendor directly. I assume they cannot market it as safe for consumption without doing some sort of testing.

The only certification mentioned on the label is that of " Quality Assurance International ". This would be relevant to the organic integrity of the contents. Regardless of the certification one way or another we would recommend this product and have been using it for several years now for both men and women. A difference in health was noticed when we had temporarily run out! (as for complete Vitamin C ... easy and cheap to obtain as an additional supplement, which we normally do anyway)

I don't know ... even though it says "Kosher Certified" in the Amazon description there is no such statement on the bottle. Sorry.

The reason we can't find ANY manufacturer that has "PA free" on their borage oil is because there are NO borage oils that are PA free. There is a limit that was created by "someone or something" that states that you can have PAs, but if they are at a low enough level, you get the marketing ability to call them PA free. So, they aren't really PA free....but the manufacturers can call them that. Not good.

The label says "Free of Propylene Glycol". The label reads as stated on the previous post.
