Consummah Awareness
Key insights to help you make confident choices.
Watch Out
Capsules
Many capsules use animal-derived gelatin.
Tip: Look for "vegetarian capsules" or contact the manufacturer to confirm the shell source.
Watch Out
Gummies
Gummies often contain pork or fish gelatin.
Tip: Always check the gelatin source before buying — look for "halal gelatin," "bovine gelatin" with certification, or plant-based pectin instead.
Be Aware
Natural Flavouring
Natural flavouring can include animal- or alcohol-derived ingredients without it being obvious from the label.
Tip: Request full disclosure of the flavouring source directly from the brand if it isn't already stated.
Good to Know
Halal Certification
Certification standards vary by certifying body and by region, so "certified" doesn't always mean the same thing.
Tip: Look for a recognised, named, and independently checkable certifying body rather than just the word "certified" on the packaging.
