Supplements For Vegetarians

Vegetarians should be aware that gelatin capsules and some excipients are derived from animal sources (beef or pork).

To completely avoid animal products, look for "veggi-caps" or some other notation that a supplement is purely plant-based.

Tips of the Trade:

• Always read the ingredient list

• Buy a pocket dictionary (food-additive based), take it with you to the health food store and look up anything you are unsure of

• Contact the Manufacturer for processing information and potential allergens

• For freshness and purity, ensure proper packaging of the product (ie: sealed)

• Contact PETA for information on products not tested on animals
