Is acidophilus vegetarian?
Lactobacillus acidophilus is bacteria– not animals– and they’re vegetarian. Billions upon billions of bacteria live on you and inside you already. They’re essential for your health. However if you’re taking it in pills as a probiotic, the capsules are often made of gelatin, which is not vegetarian. It’s vegan if it’s produced without the use of animal products. Some of them are made using milk ingredients which would make them not vegan. Vegan acidophilus is available for purchase online if you can find them nowhere else.
