Multivitamin and Label Claims

Q. I'm vegan and I'm looking for a quality, not too expensive multivitamin. I've heard not all brands contain the actual percentage amounts claimed on the label. What do you suggest? -Donica

A: As a vegan, you may prefer a supplement made with 100% vegan ingredients. Tablets and gelatin capsules often contain animal by-products. Vitamins, herbs, and other supplements are not regularly tested by any government organization. Consumer Lab evaluates nutritional supplements. Review their findings on www.consumerlab.com.
