[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2199762, member: 196898"] Most time delay pills use a cellulose based agent to as the enteric coating to slow metabolism, but some (esp Sukkarto) use a shellac or varnish coating instead. Shellac is derived from insects, so is still vegan friendly. [URL]https://www.vegansociety.com/whats-new/blog/my-medication-vegan[/URL] Note: it is not just the question of ingredients. Most of the older medicines had to undergo animal based testing as part of their licence application, and this makes them unacceptable to vegans. Note also that many medications (and also supplements) use gelatine capsules. [/QUOTE]
