Gelatin Capsules
Gelatin Capsules
Vegans, how to you avoid gelatin capsules?
Gelatin capsules are used for herbs, medications, and other supplements. Is there an alternate source or do you empty the contents and swallow them without the capsule?
For vitamins and supplements, alternatives are available - most health shops will carry vitamins in vegi-caps.
For medication there isn't really an easy solution. I have sometimes transferred the medication from a gelatine capsule to an empty vegi-cap, and I once emptied the contents of a gelatine capsule into a drink - but once only. This isn't a good idea - many medications in capsules are time-released and taking them in one hit can make you feel very ill, as I did. Transferring the contents to vegi-caps can have the same consequence.
So - vitamins and supplements, buy the ones in vegan capsules.
Medication - judge how serious it is and how much you need that pill. If it's essential - just take the gelatine capsule. Being vegan means minimising your personal contribution to animal suffering as far as you reasonably and practically can, it doesn't mean being a martyr. Putting your health or life at risk is not vegan, it's silly.
