Title: Crushed Beetles in a Prenatal Supplement?
Review: This product contains carmine color, also known as cochineal extract. This sounds innocuous enough, but do you know what it is? BEETLES. Yes, crushed beetle extract. Cochineal is a nice way of saying crushed female cactus beetles.It makes absolutely no sense for the manufacturer to add this non-nutritive, potentially dangerous substance to a product for pregnant women. Not only does adding carmine (beetle) extract render the product non-kosher and non-vegetarian , it causes severe allergic reactions in some people. (Please visit the FDA website for more information.) The 'yuck' factor alone is enough to turn those seeking a DHA supplement away in disgust.Mashed beetles with that DHA for you, mom-to-be? No thank you!
