Q: My product may contain traces. Does that mean it is not vegan?

You may come across products labelled as “suitable for vegans” that mention traces of non-vegan ingredients. Why does this happen? Because traces do not mean that the ingredient is present in the product, so it remains vegan. Traces simply refer to the fact that the plant where the preparation or food supplement in question is produced also handles the ingredients mentioned. Your product does not contain these ingredients, but it is possible that other products manufactured in the same factory do contain them. This statement refers to possible particles that may be dispersed in the environment, through the air, and which may pose a risk to people who are allergic to them. Traces are not an ingredient present in the product; they are simply a safety notice for people with health issues. All ingredients present in any product are listed in the Ingredients section.

Vegans often need specific supplements to ensure complete nutrition, covering potential deficiencies that can be harder to meet through food alone.

Some vegan supplements benefit all athletes, while others are specifically formulated for those who avoid all animal-derived products, including eggs, dairy, meat, and fish.

In our online sports nutrition store, you’ll find vegan-friendly vitamins and supplements tailored to these needs – all with top daily deals and ready for immediate dispatch.

Vegan-friendly vitamins and minerals

Maintaining the right balance of vitamins and minerals is essential for any healthy lifestyle – and vegans are no exception. On a vegan diet, nutrients like B vitamins (especially B12), iron, calcium, and zinc can be harder to source from plant-based foods alone.

That’s why HSN offers a range of vegan-friendly supplements from our EssentialSeries, formulated to support the unique needs of athletes without compromising the principles of this lifestyle.
