Question

Is it ok to drink vitamin water if i'm a vegan?

Answer 1

ACTUALLY---u might want to check the label. Some flavors in vitamin water have taurine. And if ur a veg u should know that taurine is not considered veg. No matter how healthy something may sound for ex. VITAMIN WATER it just might not be what you expect.

Answer 2

Yup its a really good way to get your vitamins

Answer 3

Personally, I do not drink vitamin water. Public health water is the best for you for a number of reasons- however, I can't stand the taste of plain ole water so I add stevia (a sugar substitute) and some lemon or lime.

Which brings me to some thing you might be considering to be in vitamin water: sugar. Like honey, some vegans may choose to consume sugar in it's various forms for whatever their own reasons are. Refined sugar which is found in a lot of consumer food are put through a process that uses bone char (from cattle, for example). Wines, some sugars, various other liquids and food products on our shelves are often filtered this way but do not have to list it of course because it is not an ingredient or falls under some other nutritional label law where it doesn't need to be shown.

I cannot answer if the brand of vitamin water you consume would go through this process or not. Typically, going straight to the company to find out if they know or not is wise or finding out where their sugar comes from and then researching that companie's procedures. Seems long and lengthy. Hence, instead of worrying about all that, I suggest just drinking plain ole water = )

As for vitamins, most people don't get their daily rec. intake so I would suggest a vegan multivitamin (easily found online and cheap- I used to take one for children because it tasted good lol). Of course, you can do what I will tell all my (hopefully) future patients to do, eat more of what you need instead of relying on vitamins, if able.

Sorry for the long-winded response. I hope this information was accurate and helpful. I'm linking a .pdf url as just one source but you might find it interesting.

I would also suggest finding out if their vitamins came from an animal source or not since the water is filled with...vitamins.
