How do I know if a vitamin D3 supplement is vegan?Updated a year ago

In order to determine if a Vitamin D3 supplement is vegan, it is important to read the label carefully and look for any animal-derived ingredients. Wondering what those may be? Some of the most common are:

Gelatin: Gelatin is a protein derived from the collagen in animal bones, skin, and connective tissue. It is often used to make capsules and gummies.

Lactose: Lactose is a sugar found in milk and milk products. It is often used as a filler or binding agent in supplements.

Chondroitin: Chondroitin is a substance found in the cartilage of animals such as cows, pigs, and sharks. It is often used in joint health supplements.

Fish oil: Fish oil is a common source of Omega-3 fatty acids. It is derived from the tissues of oily fish such as salmon and mackerel.

Lanolin: Lanolin is a waxy substance derived from sheep's wool. It is often used in the production of Vitamin D3 supplements.

Stearic acid: Stearic acid is a fatty acid that can be derived from animal fat or vegetable sources. It is often used as a lubricant in supplement production.

It is important to note that not all Vitamin D supplements are vegan, so it is important to specifically look for products that are labeled as such. It's great to know that NothingFishy Vitamin D3 supplements are 100% plant-based, allowing you to enjoy all of the goodness without any of the guilt.
