I wasn't going to touch this subject since I feel like I was "bashed" about it when I mentioned it being in the toothpaste, but since so many are misinformed on it, I will. I have done EXTENSIVE research on this product for over two years now!
Carageenan is NOT a safe additive, and totally unecessary! It is only used as a thickener, so why it would be in capsules is beyond me. I won't use them because of this, or the toothpaste. I will post several links, but I urge you to do your own research as well. I would NEVER put carageenan in my or my family's body's! It is so detrimental to your health and I am saddened that so many do not know this! Carageenan is TOXIC to human cells!
*On another note, I LOVE doTERRA's oils and I trust them, but I refuse to use some of their products. I am very picky about ingredients! I emailed a two page email to doTERRA with this info back in APril and NO response. I wish they would take carageenan out of their products!!! Also, please note I am not trying to start a war here, and will probably be banned from this site for posting this, but I am here for the same reason as all of you-to live a healthy lifestyle!!!
Here are some notes and links I have saved.
"Although derived from a natural source, carrageenan appears to be particularly destructive to the digestive system, triggering an immune response similar to that your body has when invaded by pathogens like Salmonella. The result: "Carrageenan predictably causes inflammation, which can lead to ulcerations and bleeding," explains veteran carrageenan researcher Joanne Tobacman, MD, associate professor of clinical medicine at the University of Illinois School of Medicine at Chicago. She says the food ingredient irritates by activating an immune response that dials up inflammation."
"As you can see, buying lowfat is not a good idea and not just for the fact that you are losing the valuable whole fats that satiate and steady the blood sugar. By opting for lowfat or alternative dairy products, consumers are choosing instead to consume a toxic additive that is a likely carcinogen! - See more at: http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/the-ingredient-allowed-in-organic-food-that-can-cause-cancer/#sthash.uUReIffA.dpuf
"In her presentation, Dr. Tobacman said that her research has shown that exposure to carrageenan causes inflammation and that when we consume processed foods containing it, we ingest enough to cause inflammation in our bodies. She explained that all forms of carrageenan are capable of causing inflammation. This is bad news. We know that chronic inflammation is a root cause of many serious diseases including heart disease, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and cancer."
"Even Dr. Andrew Weil has been telling people to avoid carrageenan since 2002. Carrageenan is so toxic and inflaming to the human digestive system that this food additive is formally classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (part of the World Health Organization) as a potential human carcinogen. Scientists first discovered that carrageenan causes gut inflammation as far back as the 1960′s. Inflammation is a very serious condition as it is a primary symptom in IBS, Crohn's Disease, ulcerative colitis, and colon cancer as well as dozens of other diseases.

We received the following statement from a client, and would like clarification so we can get back to her....HERE IS HER STATEMENT: The new OnGuard Plus has an ingredient called carrageenan…A byproduct of algae…and some research has thought it linked to cancer. doTERRA…A company with integrity…Wonder why they would use it?
