Zipvit Saw Palmetto Capsules with Saw Palmetto 500 mg, Pumpkin Seed 250 mg & Zinc became licensed to carry the Vegetarian Society Approved vegan trademark in late 2018 after Zipvit took the very positive step of replacing their gelatin capsules with vegan-friendly capsules instead.

We have been notified that, due to a manufacturing error, a limited number of vegan-friendly Zipvit Saw Palmetto Capsules being sold via Amazon are in mislabelled bottles that include the word “gelatin” in the ingredients list. We have been advised by Zipvit that all non-vegan stock of this product was removed from circulation prior to it being licensed to carry the Vegetarian Society Approved vegan trademark.

Vegetarians and vegans can be assured that Zipvit Saw Palmetto Capsules with Saw Palmetto 500 mg, Pumpkin Seed 250 mg & Zinc with a Best Before Date of 09/2020 or later are entirely suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Anyone with further questions or concerns about this product should contact Zipvit’s customer care line on 0800 0282875.
