ReplyDeleteTheir different products may differ slightly in ingredients, but they all seem to have the ones that are not vegetarian or vegan. Gelatin is obtained by boiling the collagen out of skin, bones, and connective tissue of animals. Their website FAQ states their gelatin comes from "beef, pork, or a combination of both." Cholecalciferol is vitamin D3 that comes from irradiating material from the lanolin in sheep wool, so it would not be vegan. Vitamin D2, ergocalciferol, is the vegan form of vitamin D in supplements.
