You can get them at most health food stores and my local Whole Foods is happy to special order them for me. They are pineapple flavored and, I gotta say, pretty delicious!

I got mine at Target. I'm not sure of the brand, but they have Spider-Man on them.

This actually goes with a question that I had recently. I walked into a GNC that's across the street from where I work, looking for a multi-vitamin. The nice lady behind the counter and I found one that might work, but she said she had veg*ns put it back on the shelf because it contained celluose. I noticed that one of the vitamins that the OP listed also contains it. Is celluose vegan friendly?

Is celluose vegan friendly?

Cellulose is just plant fiber. In fact, typical "veggie caps" that are used sometimes in place of gelatin capsules are made of vegetable cellulose. :)

Thanks!

The first one you linked has carmine in it for color, which is made of crushed up beetles. It also has Vitamin D in the form of Cholecalciferol, which is derived from sheep's wool.

The second one you linked has gelatin, lactose, and a bunch of crazy looking additives.

Nature's Plus Chewables could be considered vegetarian, but not vegan due to the inclusion of bee pollen in the ingredients. http://www.naturesplus.com/products/productDetail.asp?criteria=search&searchVar=3086&productnumber=3086&category=15

i don't think your link is the same as veggebiker's. you linked a wafer, and biker linked a pineapple flavored tablet. they don't have the same ingredients. the tablets have stearic acid and silica that i'm not sure about, but they don't have bee pollen. maybe i'll give them a call.

Oh, you're right! I thought that Nature's Plus only had one chewable Adult Multi. Sorry about that. Yeah, you could contact them about the stearic acid, since that can either be animal or plant derived. The silica is veg.

I'm a fan of VegLife's Vegan Kids multi. The wife and I chew those daily. My GERD has made it difficult to swallow anything the size of your typical veg capsule.

My teenage daughter refuses to swallow my "horse pill" vitamins, so I'm glad to find that Nature's Plus carries an adult chewable.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose
Cellulose (C6H10O5)n is a long-chain polymer polysaccharide carbohydrate, of beta-glucose. It forms the primary structural component of plants and is not digestible by humans.

I ordered these. (http://www.veganstore.com/index-store.html?deptid=17078&parentid=17&stocknumber=621&page=2&itemsperpage=12) they look fun.
