bighead Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I was wondering about this. Any vitamins I ever take (B or multi mostly) is usually made by Solgar. That's because I'm alergic to soy, gluten and dairy and Solgar puts on their labels if it is free of those ingeredients. But they have supplements that say "Suitable for Vegetarians" and some that don't. I want to know if this label means vegan or what. Anyone either know the answer or know a website that has the answer(s)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveliberate Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I would assume that if it says that plus no diary/eggs then yr good to go - but it's worse making the phone call or emailing to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelhobson Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Well, solgar.com seems completely useless as they haven't finished building the site. However, their UK site has vegan items clearly marked as "suitable for vegans" http://www.solgar.co.uk No guarantee they are using the same exact formulas, but it seems a good place to get started.

bighead Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share Posted February 7, 2007 do you at least know of a name or two of brands that make food based vitamins with probiotics and/or enzymes? if i knew the brand names, i could do the research on the allergens, etc. but i don't really know who makes these type of vitamins you're talking about...

oregonisaac Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 I just started taking vita mineral greens. Seems like a more logical way to get what I need than pills, plus I get the greens, and I can add it to other shakes I make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andgbr Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 WOW! i looked up vita mineral greens and read their site. that stuff sounds great! i will be checking today if stores near me carry it! thanks for telling me about that! veganessentials.com sells their trial size, and it's good, and doesn't taste so bad.. it's a bit expensive, but i think it's worth buying. ( in case you're looking for supplements ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
