Vitamin supplements without a pill!
The Vegetarian Society approves KMI Spray Vitamins VitaMist Range

Vitamin supplements without a pill!

Look for The Vegetarian Society approval symbol on KMI Spray Vitamins VitaMist Range

New to the UK the VitaMist vitamin supplements displaying The Vegetarian Society's seedling symbol are a great option for vegetarians and anyone else who doesn’t want to consume the gelatin that is often used in pill supplements. It’s also great for people who just don’t like swallowing pills!

The Vegetarian Society approved products in the VitaMist range include: Vitamin E & Selenium, Colloidal Minerals, Multi-Vitamins, Vitamin B12 and Anti-oxidant Vitamins. All products are in recyclable tubes with a natural ‘metered’ spray pump to ensure that exactly the right amount of the supplement is administered. Each tube contains exactly one months supply and costs around £14.

For further details about the VitaMist range, please call freephone 00800 452 73667, or email membersonly@eirecom.net

The Vegetarian Society’s ‘approved trademark ‘ was established in 1969. Since then it has become the most widely recognised and trusted stamp of vegetarian approval anywhere in the world. The symbol can be found on a huge range of products, including retail food and drinks, catering supplies, household goods, cosmetics and toiletries.

The strength of the symbol is based on products meeting the following criteria:

  • Products must be free from all meat, poultry, fish, shellfish and crustacea.

  • Products must not contain slaughter by-products such as gelatine or animal fat.

  • Any eggs used in the product must be free-range.

  • Approval will only be granted to products or ingredients not tested on animals. /More over
  • Approval will not be given to genetically modified ingredients as these are likely to have been tested on animals.
  • The Society also requires that cross contamination does not occur between vegetarian and non-vegetarian products during food production. No other symbol gives consumers such reassurance and inspires the trust that comes from the Vegetarian Society approved symbol.

    The Vegetarian Society is the oldest vegetarian organisation in the world. It offers an independent voice to promote and provide information on vegetarianism.
