* Grasses in this instance are not compliant, because we have no idea how well they were sprouted or if the seed coating was included in the product.

** Seeds are allowed on SCD™ but seed flours are not, and we have no idea what the amount or form of the sesame seeds in this product is.

*** Bifidum and Caseii are not allowed on SCD™. Neither are soil-based organisms, as their effects have not been well researched or documented.
