Question 2

Are these vegan? Someone said they are not but I don't see any non-vegan ingredients?

Accepted Answer

The vitamin D3 ingredient used in Thorne products is derived from lanolin that is sourced from sheep's wool, therefore the Thorne Basic Prenatal is not considered vegan.

Question 3

Why is there such a mega dose of b12 (3000%)?

Accepted Answer

This b12 is only methylcobalamin and it’s not as fully utilized by the body unless it’s both methyl and adenosocabalamin :) so you’re not going to use all that 3000% anyway
