Q: How do I know which vitamins and supplements are suitable for vegans?
A: While many restaurants and food stores are becoming more aware of vegan dieters and the necessity of vegan friendly foods, choosing the right supplements can be a bit more difficult. Unfortunately, it’s not always as easy as checking the ingredients list.
When it comes to capsules, vegans are most concerned with the source of gelatin used to create the capsule itself. The reason for concern is centered on the fact that gelatin is generally sourced from chicken, pork or beef. The alternative is to look for uncoated tablets or veggie caps that are made of vegetable-based gelatin. To ease the process, we’ve done the digging for you and found vegan-friendly versions of the most common supplements.
