That’s fine. Often times the therapies and supplement suggested will be compatible with being a vegetarian or vegan. At other times, a specific supplement will be suggested and it may not be available without a gelatin capsule, but the contents are all plant product. Sometimes, glandular products (that contain animal product) are necessary if a person is to regain health, and the individual person will need to make a decision as to whether they wish to proceed with this therapy.

A vegetarian diet excludes the flesh of animals, even fish and poultry. A vegan diet excludes anything derived from an animal, including milk, cheese, eggs, and sometimes honey.

Vegetarian diets, which contain no meat (beef, pork, poultry, or fish and shellfish), are naturally low in saturated fat, high in fiber, and full of vitamins, minerals, and cancer-fighting compounds.

We encourage vegetarian diets as a way of improving general health and preventing diet-related illnesses.

Maestrani creates all the different chocolates on the same equipment (belts, pipelines, vats, filling lines).

In the past, vegetarians/vegans have made an exception for the duration of the trip.
