Question about Vegan Vitamens
Posted by octoberbunny on Feb 06, 2010 · Member since Sep 2008 · 82 posts
So, I have been trying to find a type of vitamen that will cover all of my daily vitamen/mineral needs and is also vegan. I have heard that a lot of vitamens have various animal products in them. Does anyone know of a particular brand of vitamen that is good? or what ingredients I should avoid when selecting one ( I'm always on the look out for gelatin). I have one called "source of life" but I have to take six pills a day and I've blown through a whole bottle in less than 2 weeks. >:( Any information from you lovely people would be greatly appreciated.
I've used both Now liquid and VegLife tablets. It takes me over a year to use a 30-day supply. I like the liquid, because when I'm thinking about it I can take a swig.
Pangea
Vegan Essentials
Cosmo's
Here's another source that I've found to be a little less expensive (esp. with free shipping):

I bought Deva multi-vitamins, sublingual B-12 and cal-mag plus, but I forget to take them most of the time. ::)
Rainbow Light Women's at vitacost.com
I use Deva 1-A-Day Multivitamin and Deva Hair, Skin and Nails formula, and I bought them of Vegan Essentials.
I also used to take Vegan Glucosamine pills, but I just ran out.
I have tried a lot of different vitamins, and my suggestion is to just try them out and go with the one that makes you feel the best.
