Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin, Lactoflavin): Used as a food coloring, to fortify foods, or as a supplement. It is produced synthetically or through a fermentation process using genetically modified Bacillus subtilis. It is generally vegan, but in rare cases—especially when labeled as “natural”—it may be produced from animal sources such as beef. It is important to verify whether it is plant-based.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin, Nicotinic Acid): Used for cholesterol treatment, to fortify foods, or as a supplement. Its primary commercial use is to fortify animal feed. It is usually produced synthetically. In rare cases, it may be derived from animal sources. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Vitamin B7: Biotin. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid, Folate): It is used to fortify foods or as a supplement, particularly for pregnant women. It is generally produced synthetically. Folate is a general term for Vitamin B9, whereas folic acid refers to the synthetic compound used in supplements and food fortification. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.

Please note that synthetic vitamin D3 may contain an animal-derived component as its starting raw material. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Vitamin E: Naturally sourced vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol) is obtained by distillation of vegetable oils (primarily from soybeans, rapeseed, and sunflowers); synthetically produced Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopherol) is a mixture of eight diastereoisomers in equal proportions. Vegan.
Vitamin H: Biotin. It should be verified whether it is plant-based.
Volaise: Ostrich meat. Not vegan.
Whey: The residue remaining in milk after most of the casein and fat have been removed. A byproduct of cheese production. Not vegan.
Wool: The hair that makes up the coat of domesticated sheep (and similar animals). Vegan.
Xanthan Gum (corn sugar gum): A gum produced by the fermentation of corn sugar using a microorganism called Xanthomonas campestris. Generally vegan, but may be purified using chicken lysozyme or derived from the fermentation of whey. It must be verified whether it is plant-based.
Yeast: A microscopic, single-celled fungus. Different types of yeast include baker’s yeast, nutritional yeast, and brewer’s yeast. It is vegan.
