LOOK OUT FOR SWITCHED INGREDIENT LIST ON ACTUAL PRODUCT
Would have NEVER purchased this product if this ingredient list was shown. I was SO upset to see Sunflower Lecithin as an ingredient on the bottle I rcvd. I have had some stomach upset lately and I'm wondering if it's from the sunflower lecithin listed on the pkg. Also, the product arrived HOT with no cooling pack and though I have kept in fridge since then per the bottle instructs, I question it's viability since bottle clearly states to keep refrigerated. My BIGGEST issue is that when I purchased, the nutrition label pictured online listed magnesium stearate as an ingredient but my bottle has sunflower lecithin listed in its place. Questioning this products integrity and this seller as well. I have sent a msg though "no refunds" is plastered everywhere.
