I was surprised to find they don't have B12. A review said they do but after buying them, description says only B1 & B2. How can it vegan without B12?

If you peel back the label, you will see that this product contains 100% of daily requirements of B12 as well as other nutrients

I have tried Now Foods liquid B complex. The Vegan one is vegan, I think you mean how can it be a vegan multi without b12. regardless, it is rare for anyone even for vegans to be deficient in B12 despite urban myths that state otherwise. Your body naturally produces enough. If you are concerned, I recommend that you get a blood work up before spending a bunch of money on supplements that you may not need.

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that question. I would suggest contacting the company direct. Thank You.

I was suprised too. I have an old bottle that actually used to have B121 listed. Then one day it wasn't on the label. I now used a vegan multivitamin powder that absorbed easier and goes well intomy shakes.

Well, vegan is generally associated with excluding things (animal-derived ingredients) and not so much with including things. Also, I'm guessing you didn't find the full list of supplement facts included under the pull-tab. There is indeed B-12 in this supplement. Here's how I see it listed: Vitamin B-12 (as cyanocobalamin), 100 mcg (Amount Per Serving), 1667% (%Daily Value)

Recommend Deva Vegan Vitamins Vegan Tiny Tab Multivitamin & Mineral instead with 100% B12. I've been a vegan for 40 years and haven't had any B12 issues.

The bottle ingredients does not say what form of B12 is in this product. So sorry

I do not have my bottle of B12 with me at the moment to list ingredients, but perhaps you can contact a natural pharmacy and they will read the ingredients to you. My doctor (holistic) put me on this brand because of its lack of common allergens. Hope this helps.

Nutritional Yeast contains the B vitamins. I have a plant-based diet and it's harder to get enough of the B vitamins. I'm also on medication that can deplete vitamin B12, which can have medical consequences. Vegans are especially at risk for deficiencies in Bs.

Yes, they do contain gelatin so they are not vegan or even suitable for vegetarians. You could purchase some veggie caps and transfer the powder or even just open the capsule and add the contents to water/juice, etc. The only brand I know of off hand that is vegan is Sun Chlorella Nutritional Tablets, 500 mg, 600 Count There is a huge difference in price though.

Upon inspecting the label carefully, I did not find "soy" listed. These are some of the best vitamins I have taken so far and I have tried the pricey and the cheap. I have not been ill for the last year since taking the Alive.

If you would like I can send you the full list of ingredients so you can see for yourself. I am not vegan and would not want to say yes and be wrong. The diet could be modified I'm sure. My email address is blittle6@gmail.com if you want more info. I don't use the products any more but have access to them all and a 40% discount you are more than welcome to.

Hi Quandary, We didn't get any confirmation from the manufacturer as it is Vegan product or not. But as per the product description it was vegan product. We request you please contact with the manufacturer directly, so that they will help you in this regards. Thanks, Chandu.A.

This product is not necessarily vegan. I just got off the phone with their product support and I was informed that the D3 initially came from lanolin; however, they made a culture from this original source and now use that to produce the D3. The good news is that by June, Garden of Life will have an entire new product line that will offer certified vegan multi-vitamins.

I checked one of my cans. There are no animal products listed in the ingredients, however it does mention that they are produced in a facility that has fish and shellfish. As a vegan myself, this doesn't bother me, but for a person with fish or shellfish allergies, I might be concerned.

The product isn't certified by the vegan society, however I have yet to find a b12 supplement that's endorsed specifically. The ingredients besides obviously Methylcobalamin are purified water, vegetable glycerin, and potassium sorbate. As a long time vegan I trust this product :)

Yes, they are Vegetarian. It lists on the label that it is "Suitable for Vegetarians/Vegans" There does not appear to be any animal products in the ingredients.

They are not vegan. The D3 comes from lanolin (sheep). However, the Just Once vitamin in RL line does contain D2, which is from mushrooms. But as far as which is better absorbed, the D3 is best as it is the type we create from the sun.

PS, JB-- Thanks for answering! They should state these things in the description...this does make it vegan (as long as there's no gelatin...)

I did not have to substitute anything since my grandson's food only needs to be gluten-free, not vegan. There is a phone number on the package where you can reach Betty Crocker, where they would probably be able to help. I hope so, because these mixes are wonderful - easy to prepare, reliable and great tasting.
