I know when I first went vegan, I was reading the back of food labels like crazy. Trying to distinguish whether certain ingredients I couldn’t even pronounce at times were vegan was a lot to handle. Once I got the hang of food though, I never thought to take a look at the medications I was taking. Many supplements are made with gelatin casings or shellfish extracts, which if I could avoid these ingredients in my medications, I was definitely going to try to!
