Guest guest Posted January 19, 2002 Report Share Posted January 19, 2002 Not THAT difficult. Go to GNC or The Vitamin Shoppe and ask for vegetarian (and they're vegan) vitamins. Both chain stores carry them, but although GNC has the best vegan vitamins for the money, Vitamin Shoppe overall is more vegetarian-friendly, and their vegetarian-friendly products have little green V-sprouts in their catalog listings. To make the final check of this two-stop process, you call each store's customer service hotline and ask your most specific questions, just to be sure. Then you make your decision and buy it.

Peta has a little booklet out that lists all ingredients from animals and they have another one that lists companies that do not test their products on animals. These have been tremendous help to me, in fact I keep them in may purse and whip them out at the health food store. With vitamins though I have to say that what I did was go to the vitamin person at the health food store and ask for help. And they did. Solgar vitamins say on the package " appropriate for vegetarians " . I'm not sure if this means vegan. Pangea is a company that sells products for vegans, including vitamins. Good luck, it's worth the trouble to be consistent. Once you know which things to buy it gets easier. Gail Send FREE video emails in Mail.

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2002 Report Share Posted January 22, 2002 Hi, Herbalife vitamins for adults are vegetarian but not vegan. They have bee pollen and run around $20 for a month's supply. As far as I can see the kid's chewable vitamins are vegan and are 10.25 a month. I only use the Herbalife ones so don't know how GNC or other vitamins compare price wise....Just thought I'd add that. I'm sure you could go into the Health Food store and they would have a bunch of different brands. Great days, RHonda - Maynard S.
