What does vegan mean?
-
A product is vegan if it does not contain any animal extracts or animal by-products. This applies to the product and the manufacturing process.
-
Vegan products have also not been tested on animals.
Are vegan products better for me?
-
Vegan products tend to contain more natural ingredients and are a great choice for those who follow a vegan diet based on plants with no animal products.
-
A vast majority of sports nutrition products are vegan-friendly. However, for those who consume meat, there are some exceptional products that may be more beneficial to you that are not certified vegan.
