Airborne? Is it vegan?!
Airborne? Is it vegan?
A lot of people are sick with colds and the flu and I was wondering if anyone knew if Airborne is safe for vegans. I checked out the website but it didn't have any information on whether it was or not. It did say that they do not have any milk products though.
I read the ingredients and it said: Vitamin A (100% Palmitate), Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin E ( Acetate), Riboflavin, Magnesium, Slenium, Zinc, Amino Acids (Glutamine as L Glutamine, Lysine as L Lysine) Manganese, Potassium and Herbal Exracts ( Maltodextrin, Lonicera, Forsynthia, Schizonepeta, GInger, Chinese Viex, Isatis Root, Echinacea
Under other ingredients there is Citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, sorbitol, Potassium bicarbonate, orange flavor, Mineral oil, Sucralose, Acesulfame potassium.
I've heard that vitamin E (Acorbic acid) may be from animal. And I'm not sure about the orange flavor.
The website is www.airbornehealth.com.
I might search for a phone number later, but I have class all day.

But under the ingredients it says: *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
There are asteriks next to all of the DVs of the ingredients, so I'm thinking this statement might refer to the ingredients.

Actually, if there's any ingredient to investigate it would be glutamine, a protein. Though beans and nuts are sources of glutamine, so are fish, meat & dairy. There's no indication if the formulation in Airborne is synthetic or natural, let alone vegan.
Sorry not to have an answer, but I wanted to at least put you on the right path.
