Can I take MIRTO+ while taking prescription medication?

As always, you should consult with your physician before adding anything new to your health program if you are taking prescription drugs. If you have any concerns, please consult with your family doctor or pharmacist beforehand.

Is the Vitamin E (soybean d-alpha Tocopherol) found in MIRTO+ safe?

When the vitamin E is isolated from the soybean oil, it is purified. During the purification process, other parts of the soybean plant are left out. The “other parts” means the flavonoids (phytoestrogens and isoflavones plus other food allergens) are removed and separated from the vitamin E. So, yes, the Vitamin E found in MIRTO+ is safe.

How much soy bean oil content is in this product, and how can it affect those with allergies to soy products?

The vitamin is derived from soybean oil cake, which are the remnants after removing all the oil. There are no proteins in the extract, meaning the extract will not trigger allergies.

The label shows that this product contains African Palm Oil, and this ingredient is said to contain plenty of saturated fats. Is it safe to consume this?

Palm oil is the source of Alpha-carotene and Beta-carotene. The product only contains roughly 3mg of palm oil in the formula (note that this number does not mean it is comprised entirely of saturated fats). The amount found in nutritional supplements is negligible, and is safe to consume.
