About this ingredient
Ingredients
Plant-Based refers to dietary supplement formulations made primarily from ingredients sourced from plants, algae, fungi, or other non-animal sources. Common plant-based ingredients include botanical extracts, fruits, vegetables, herbs, seeds, roots, plant oils, fibers, vitamins, minerals, and plant-derived compounds. The exact ingredients and nutritional profile depend on the specific product formulation.
Plant-Based is a broad term used for supplements and nutritional products that rely primarily on ingredients derived from plants or other non-animal sources. These formulations can include a wide variety of botanical and nutritional ingredients depending on their intended purpose.
Common plant-based ingredients include herbs, leaves, roots, fruits, vegetables, seeds, grains, legumes, plant oils, fibers, algae, and concentrated botanical extracts. Some products may also provide plant-derived proteins, amino acids, polyphenols, flavonoids, carotenoids, or other naturally occurring compounds.
Plant-based supplements may be formulated for general nutrition, digestive wellness, antioxidant support, active lifestyles, women's wellness, energy and vitality, or other nutritional needs. Products can be available as capsules, tablets, powders, liquids, gummies, softgels, and other formats.
Because “plant-based” is a broad product description rather than a standardized ingredient category, consumers should review the complete ingredient list to determine exactly what a product contains. A plant-based label also does not automatically mean that every ingredient is organic, vegan, or free from allergens.
