Why is Optimal Prenatal MF not suitable for vegans?
Optimal Prenatal MF is suitable for vegetarians. The vitamin D (vitamin D as cholecalciferol) is derived from sheep’s wool, making Optimal Prenatal MF unsuitable for some vegans. This vitamin D, however, is derived from wool sheared from live healthy sheep, so no animals are harmed in the process.
