Transparency in every pill.
Because everyone deserves to know what's in their health products.
Why This Matters
We support patients from diverse backgrounds. In the United States alone:
33
million
people have food allergies (e.g. lactose, gluten, etc.)
20
million
people practice a religion that involves dietary restrictions (e.g. halal, kosher, etc.)
16
million
people are vegan/vegetarian
0.5
million
people have Alpha-gal Syndrome
Medication labels should be as simple to understand as food labels.
75%
of medications contain an animal-derived ingredient
40%
of the top 20 pharmaceutical companies were unable to provide an accurate verbal response regarding animal-derived ingredients
39%
of the formulations examined in the FDA Structured Product Labeling database contained ingredient inconsistencies
52%
of 100+ pharmaceutical companies did not respond to a patient inquiry regarding animal-derived ingredients

Unanswered FDA Citizen Petition
In July 2023, VeganMed filed a Citizen Petition with the FDA to improve transparency in medication labeling. The FDA has yet to respond, delaying progress and putting patients with dietary restrictions at risk. We remain committed to advocating for change and protecting patient safety.
