Vegan & Allergen-Free Turmeric Supplement UK
Not every turmeric capsule is vegan. Here's what to check — from the capsule shell to allergens and carriers — and the clean-label, solar-made UK option.
Vegan, allergen-free turmeric supplements in the UK
Many turmeric capsules use animal-derived gelatin shells, and some carry allergens or unnecessary excipients. If you are vegan — or simply want a clean label — the thing to check is both the capsule shell and the full ingredient and allergen declaration, not just the turmeric extract.
IIY Phytoventra BCM-95® is 100% vegan: the capsules are vegetable cellulose, not gelatin. It is allergen-free (no gluten, soya, dairy or nuts), contains no artificial colours, and is manufactured under GMP at a facility powered entirely by solar energy.
What actually makes a turmeric supplement vegan
- The capsule shell — many are made from gelatin (animal-derived). Vegan products use plant cellulose (HPMC) capsules.
- Flow agents & carriers — some formulas add magnesium stearate or other excipients; a clean label keeps these to a minimum.
- Absorption enhancers — phospholipid formulas can use soy lecithin; BCM-95® uses turmeric’s own oils, so there is no soy-based carrier.
Allergen-free and clean-label — what to check
“Allergen-free” should be backed by a clear declaration against the 14 major allergens. On the IIY Phytoventra BCM-95® label you will find:
- Vegan vegetable-cellulose capsules — no gelatin.
- No gluten, soya, dairy or nuts; no artificial colours.
- 650 mg curcumin per 2-capsule serving, from the patented BCM-95® / Curcugreen® extract — piperine-free.
- Manufactured under GMP using 100% solar power.
