Vegan supplement manufacturing

Which formats is it made in?

Every format can be made vegan if each component is controlled. Capsules use HPMC plant shells instead of bovine gelatine. Gummies use pectin instead of animal gelatine. Tablets avoid magnesium stearate from animal sources, and powders lean on plant proteins like pea and rice. The detail that catches brands out is vitamin D3 and omega-3: we source algal omega-3 and lichen-derived D3 so the whole product, not just the headline active, carries the vegan label cleanly.

• HPMC capsule shells and pectin gummies
• Lichen-derived vitamin D3 and algal omega-3
• Plant proteins and vegan-suitable excipients throughout

Why brands launch this line

Vegan is no longer a niche, it is a buying filter. A growing share of supplement buyers will not consider a product unless the whole formula is plant-based, and they read labels closely and punish brands that slip. Building a properly vegan range gives a brand a defensible identity and access to a loyal, vocal audience. It also future-proofs the catalogue, since a vegan formula sells to vegans and non-vegans alike while the reverse is not true.

EU compliance notes

Claims still follow nutrient rules, not the vegan angle. A vegan multivitamin can use authorised claims such as vitamin C contributes to normal immune function or vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function, because the claim attaches to the nutrient regardless of source. The vegan and plant-based descriptors are positioning, not health claims, and there is no EU-harmonised legal definition of vegan, so we keep that wording accurate and verifiable against the bill of materials. We document every component so the vegan claim stands up to scrutiny.
