**Q: Are these vegan? Someone said they are not but I don't see any non-vegan ingredients?**
A: The vitamin D3 ingredient used in Thorne products is derived from lanolin that is sourced from sheep's wool, therefore the Thorne Basic Prenatal is not considered vegan.

**Q: Why is there such a mega dose of b12 (3000%)?**
A: This b12 is only methylcobalamin and it’s not as fully utilized by the body unless it’s both methyl and adenosocabalamin :) so you’re not going to use all that 3000% anyway
