A vegan claim on a capsule involves checking more than just the active ingredients — the capsule shell material matters too.
What to actually verify
Why the capsule shell is the detail most people miss
- The capsule shell — gelatin (animal-derived) vs. vegetable cellulose (vegan)
- The active ingredient sourcing (plant-derived fibers and polyamines are typically vegan by nature)
- Whether the product carries a third-party vegan certification, or is simply self-declared
