Every lot is assayed for all active ingredients. We will not accept a lot if it does not meet our standards. Some are, some are not. The gelatin in most capsules, including ours, is derived from an animal source. Where the gelatin is from a vegetable source, it will be noted on the label.
Some enzymes are from a bovine source.
In general, the B vitamins and the Multiple Minerals are completely vegetarian. All calcium naturally contains a small amount of lead. We follow Proposition 65 standards, which allow less than 5 ppm. We have every batch of product tested for heavy metal. We will not accept a batch if it is not within standards.
