Is this product vegetarian ?

I would say it depends on your preference. From what I have read, there are no meat products, not even egg or shellfish, and it is GMO-free. Lanolin and olive oil are used as the oils for the D3. Lanolin is derived from sheep wool. If you have a problem consuming a product that contains lanolin, then this wouldn't be a product for you. If you were vegan, this definitely wouldn't be a product for you since it contains a byproduct from an animal and from my understanding, vegans steer clear from all things animal. But, again, it really depends on where you draw the line for yourself as a vegetarian. I, personally, think this is a wonderful product. I would say it depends on your preference.

About the lanolin, I'm not sure whether that would be considered vegetarian or not. It's definitely NOT vegan.The gelatin is most likely NOT vegetarian. There are vegetarian equivalents to gelatin, but they are usually labeled "vegetarian gelatin", "vegan gelatin" or perhaps "agar-agar".

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.

No! Lanolin comes from the sebacious glands of wool bearing animals like sheep! Definitely NOT vegetarian

The packaging does not say. It does say vegan/vegetarian product. Perhaps you could contact them on their website: www.nowfoods.com.

It is certainly vegetarian, but I'm not sure if it is vegan. It does not have milk, lactose, or eggs, so I think it probably is vegan. When I was vegan, I took this vitamin, because I couldn't find anything wrong with it. It is also free of gelatin.

It's not vegan, the capsule is gelatin. They do sell a vegetarian version, but instead of gelatin it's made of carrageenan (+ other ingredients).

It has the OU dairy designation. It contains sugar, corn syrup, nonfat milk, cornstarch, soy lecithin, glycerine, salt and the usual natural and artificial flavors. I don't know if vegetarians use milk.

Yes, technically this is vegetarian (i.e. no meat) as it is derived from milk. However, it is not vegan (a more strict version of vegetarianism that also does not allow animal products like eggs and milk).

These are pig intestines, so no, they are not vegetarian. If you are looking for vegetarian, I might suggest cellulose casings.

The label states other ingredients as being plant-based but not the gelatin capsule. There is no mention on the bottle that the product is 100% vegetarian. So, it looks as if the capsules are probably gelatin derived from animal sources.

You'd have to check with the manufacturer. They call it a natural product, but "natural" does not have any standardized or regulatory meaning. Everyone is free to decide for themselves what is natural. It's also vegan/vegetarian. You'd have to look at the ingredient list and decide for yourself if there are any ingredients that you don't want to ingest.

The bottle doesn't specifically say that. It's organic, gluten-free and contains no yeast, wheat, soy or milk. I'm reading the bottle now and it doesn't say whether it is vegan or vegetarian like most of their products do. I would contact them directly if you don't get an answer on Amazon.

If the product has gelatin then it is not suitable for vegans and vegetarians!

Hello Ross, We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. As the product information does not indicate that the gelatin used is vegetarian, we cannot guarantee that it is. I have forwarded this concern to the appropriate department for their further resolution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Best in health, Jessi V.

If you look at the images associated with this product,you'll see butter and cream listed in the ingredients, so no. Not at all vegan.

It does contain gelatin. So not strictly vegetarian, but all other ingredients are vegetable or mineral.
