I'm vegan. Are the capsules themselves suitable, and what makes this a 'VEGE' product?

Yes, the product is fully suitable. The 'VEGE' designation specifically refers to the vegan capsule shell. Traditional supplement capsules are often made from gelatin, which is derived from animal collagen (usually bovine or porcine).

This product uses a plant-based alternative, typically from cellulose or other vegetarian sources. This is a crucial detail for:

• Vegans & Vegetarians: It allows you to use the product without compromising dietary principles.
• Religious or Cultural Diets: It avoids ingredients that may be prohibited (like pork-derived gelatin).
• Long-term Use: As mentioned in the product description, this suitability is especially important when selecting supplements you plan to take regularly over time.

Beyond the capsule, the active ingredient—maca root extract—is also plant-derived. Always check the full ingredient list on your specific package for the most current information, but the VEGE label is a clear signal that the formulation is designed for plant-based diets.
