Frequently Asked Questions
Are all Zuma Nutrition supplements vegan?
No, not all of our supplements are vegan – though most of them are. We respect the well-being of animals and never test on animals or engage in practices that are harmful to animals. We also respect each person’s dietary choices and preferences. However, we also recognize that certain animal products have incredible therapeutic value. We use an organic and ethically sourced Colostrum that is derived from bovine cow’s milk, as well as organic and sustainable honey in our High Himalayan Shilajit Tonic.
Do I need supplements as a vegan?
Whether you need supplements as a vegan depends on your individual dietary choices and nutritional needs. While a well-planned vegan diet can provide essential nutrients, some vegans may benefit from specific supplements, such as vegan protein supplements, vegan vitamin supplements, or supplements tailored to their vegan diet, to ensure they meet all their nutritional requirements. Common supplements for vegans include amino acids, vitamin B12, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids.
How much B12 supplement should a vegan take?
The recommended dosage of B12 supplements for vegans can vary depending on factors like age, dietary habits, and individual needs. However, a common recommendation is to take 250-500 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin B12 daily or a larger weekly dose (e.g., 2,500 mcg) to meet the recommended daily intake.
Are Zuma Nutrition Vegan Supplements okay for pregnant or nursing women to use?
It's essential for pregnant or nursing women to exercise caution when considering any dietary supplements. The safety and appropriateness of specific supplements during pregnancy or while breastfeeding can vary, and it's crucial to prioritize the health and well-being of both the mother and the baby. It's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or doctor before using these products during pregnancy or while nursing.
Are Zuma Nutrition Vegan Supplements okay for children to use?
Dietary supplements are typically designed for adults and may contain ingredients or dosages that are not suitable for children. Children have different nutritional needs and are still growing, so their requirements are distinct from those of adults. It is essential to exercise caution when considering supplements for children and consult with a healthcare professional or pediatrician before giving them any dietary supplements.
