I don't know definitely, but I can tell you the ingredients are the following: Allergin Information: contains Milk, Egg, Wheat, and Soy (Lecithin). It is manufactured on equipment which processes products containing Milk, egg, soybeans, wheat, shellfish, fish oil, tree nuts, and peanut butter. There are no animal bi-products that I can see (unless some of these ingredients are "code names" for animal bi-products. Go to www.bsnonline.net to check.

This should be suitable for vegans as well as vegetarians but I would check the label or call the company directly to be sure. Good luck! I have just ordered two more bottles. This is the easiest Vitamin D3 to take and I am an adult!

Bottle states Vegetarian Capsules. It also states Pepsin derived from porcine. Call Solaray at 800-683-9640.. www.solaray.com

This is directly from their website Why is Pana C-315 considered vegetarian but not vegan? Pana C-315 contains all plant-derived vegetarian ingredients. It also contains bee pollen extract, propolis, and royal jelly, which are naturally-derived bee by-products (non-beeswax). In the strictest interpretation, these ingredients are not considered vegan. The Vegan Society's criterion for animal-free vegan products states that products must, as far as is possible and practical, be entirely free from animal involvement. They strictly define bees as animals. However, we do have many vegan customers who take our products.

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 :)

B-12 and B06 and folate - that is what the label says. I don't know much past that, but I would suggest that you go to Megafood's website to see the details. I love this B-12, btw.

If you request the vegetarian/ veggie one, which this says so, then no!Hope this helps,

There are actually 3 forms of B12: Methylocobalamin and Hydroxycobalamin, which researchers feel are the better choices for B12 deficiencies, and Cyanocobalamin. If you eat meat, you don't need a B12 supplement. If you are vegan, you also probably may not need to take a supplement but it is still suggested. The adequate dose is 5 micrograms/day. Most available supplements are anywhere from 500 - 5,000 mcg. Take the 500 mcg. once a week. The high concentrations are meant to correct actual diagnosed B12 deficiencies in people who may not be able to absorb it normally, but for most of us, these excessive amounts appear to be safe and nontoxic. Sublingual is the suggested form. There are actually 3 forms of B12: Methylocobalamin and Hydroxycobalamin, which researchers feel are the better choices for B12 deficiencies, and Cyanocobalamin.

Hi Luna,I checked the bottle and it says it "suitable for vegetarians" The other ingredients it list are these: Microcrystalline Cellulose, Silica, Vegetable Stearic Acid, Vegetable Cellulose, Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Vegetable Glycerin.This is as much information as I can provide as I am not a vegetarian or an authority that can speak to the best possible supplement to use if anyone is. I found the product to be very good for myself...I hope you find the best match for yourself very soon.Best Carla

Considering L-cysteine comes from feathers or sometimes hog hair, they aren't even vegetarian. (Bonus fact, that's an ingredient often found in bread, be wary.)

www.barryfarm.com/nutri_info/cooking%20supplies/tvp.html - gives the ingredients Soy flour, zinc oxide, niacinamide, ferrous sulfate, copper gluconate, vitamin A palmitrate, calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate (B1), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), cyanocobalamin (B12)but does not show if it is certified Vegan or Kosher - best to email the supplier to check

Personally, I think very highly of BSN protein products (they are my favorites). There may have been some slight labeling changes over the years but I cannot remember. My suggestion would be to ensure that the two products you are comparing are in fact the same (one might be isolate vs non-isolate, or size of the container, or the "Dessert" product vs the "Syntha-6" product). I'm not sure what you are referring to by "PD" and Exp", sorry. I understand your caution about trying something new but both my personal testimony and the aggregate of reviews on Amazon should provide you some confidence that you are purchasing a great product. Anything beyond that, you're just going to have to try it for yourself.

The label that's shown in the Amazon pics clearly says, "Gelatin" which means it's NOT vegetarian. I hate how little accurate information is available on Amazon for supplements. I've spent HOURS trying to find a vegan D3 supplement that doesn't have crap in it. Still searching.

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.

Since they are marked kosher, then yes, they are suitable for vegetarians; although not necessarily for vegans. And yes, this would include the sausage flavored one as well.

This amino acid (tryptophan) is found in (and can be extracted from) most plants and animal products (see Wikipedia). So, suppliments of this could be vegitarian/vegan compliant, but only if the manufacturer made the effort. Go to Source Naturals website. Note that they are expanding their Vegan True Line of suppliments, but it appears L-Tryptophan is not a part of this (yet). There is much info about L-Tryptophan at their site, but no mention of the amino acid source(s) or vegitarian/vegan compliance. So, with this level of info, we just don't know the status of this suppliment. If it's important, you could ask them (see contact info at their website).

the description for dutch chocolate flavor says it contains Bovine Serum Albumin 6-8%- serum is whats left after blood is filtered and allowed to clot. So technically not vegetarian.
