In this episode of the Vegetarian Zen podcast we discuss the basics of dietary supplements. We don’t delve into which supplements vegans need, or how to know if you should take a supplement; we do talk about what supplements are, what information is contained on supplement bottle labels, what those “certified by” stickers mean, and what animal-derived ingredients are commonly used in supplements.
