10 Halal Health Supplements That Will Give You A Boost Inside & Out

Given today’s growing consciousness about wellness, health supplements are also getting their share of attention. People are getting more and more aware that along with the right diet and exercise, taking supplements to power us through the natural side effects of ageing — both physically and internally — is also something we may need in our routines. But since most supplements are made with animal-derived ingredients, how would our Muslim brothers and sisters know which ones to get?

Halal health supplements exist and are growing in number in the market! You just need to know which ones to get.

What makes a health supplement halal?

Most supplements come in soft gel capsules that are made from animal-derived gelatin. Other forms of supplements can also contain animal-derived ingredients that help with product shelf life, flavour, and other factors. Halal-certified products ensure that any animal-derived ingredient in the supplement is extracted and processed through Islam-accepted practices.

These also mean that the supplements are free from Islam-prohibited ingredients such as pork, intoxicants, carnivorous animals and birds of prey, blood and blood by-products, and any other ingredient mixed with those mentioned previously.
