As Muslims, many of us are accustomed to looking for gelatin on food labels, but did you know that most vitamin brands contain gelatin? Major supplement brands use gelatin in their capsules, tablets, gummies, and chewables. It’s also important to know that other ingredients in supplements, other than gelatin, may cause them to not be Halal. Many of the vitamins themselves (like A,D,E,K) are sourced from animals. Even some minerals like Calcium and Iron can come from animal sources, to name a few. Many other ingredients like monoglycerides and diglycerides, which are used as emulsifiers, are commonly sourced from animal fats or oils.
