dandylioness Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 another question! whew I am full of questions sometimes. Is "emer'gen-c" powedered vitamin fizzy drink thingie vegan? i see it has b-12. doesn't b-12 ONLY come from animal sources? I thought I read otherwise, but I saw a thing that said it was only found in animal sources. how do I know if the b-12 in this is vegan or not? hmmmm. confusing!

veggymeggy Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 The form of b-12 humans need is actually a bacteria, cyanocobalamin. In whole foods it is primarily found in animal sources (I believe nutritional yeast is an exception? Is that cyanocobalamin or an analogue?) Anyway - It can be supplemented from non-animal sources. I don't know if that particular drink is vegan, but it doesn't have to NOT be vegan just because of the b12. If that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah Emer-gen-C is vegan. I always keep that stuff stocked in a kitchen drawer and drink it if I start to feel sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Oh man, that stuff got me through many a late night shift when I worked for the Feds. I love it. I need to get some of it in my house again. It peps you up without jitters like caffein. very good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_raVen_ Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I know there's only one EmergenC that isn't vegan and it's the Calcium. It has animal-derived Vitamin D...I think it was the VitD; but anyway, when I contacted Alcer they told me the calcium one was not vegan but that the others are. Unless anyone knows if they've changed it recently.I contacted them about a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
