I have, I believe, list of ingredients & Im missing the Gluten ? Yet, read various

Posts that suggest that it does contain this goodie that is upsetting for some (including me). Can some one point in direction of what I'm missing ! Thanks

Assuming this is Uni-Pharma Liothyronine (t3).

According to the last time I saw it posted here:

a) Lactose (lactose monohydrate, gelatine, starch maize),

b) sodium starch glycolate, magnesium stearate,

c) silicified talc (purified talc, colloidal silicon dioxide),

d) egg yellow lake art 74675 (25mcg), and

d) yellow lake No 6E110 (50mcg).

Sodium starch glycolate is often made from potatoes, but...

Other starch derivatives, such as sodium starch glycolate, [20,23] dextrin,[24] and maltodextrin,[20] are processed almost exclusively from potato starch or cornstarch but may rarely be derived from other starches. The botanical source of each of these ingredients must be determined before the product can be considered safe for the celiac disease patient.

Also, unless precautions are taken, cross-contamination can be a source of gluten (and other allergens).
