Question
Hello, there is a vitamin supplement called beta-carotene (which is essentially a substitute for vitamin A). I wanted to ask: a) Does it require kosher certification? b) If so, does it require a high level of kosher certification? There is this https://il.iherb.com/pr/now-foods-natural-beta-carotene-7-500-mcg-25-000-iu-90-softgels/79368 (it says it's kosher but nothing beyond that), and also this https://il.iherb.com/pr/solgar-naturally-sourced-oceanic-beta-carotene-90-softgels/13446 and this https://www.googleadservices.com/pagead/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChsSEwiroNGU8rqOAxX-kYMHHXHiEKcYACICCAEQJBoCZWY&co=1&ase=2&gclid=Cj0KCQjwss3DBhC3ARIsALdgYxND5niHaxMJ4fClxnHbIGnDX5jFxSIwKWh4NLI3nO-zXEhHJdHmYHMaAsdQEALw_wcB&ohost=www.google.com&cid=CAESeeD2aW0o37KW9IWE_1HFF3044LVu_LJOQIMSZj23UVR6umPtUoxamUPxND4sHnyRE7GDt4gZhlplWpI_y-4GmOD5Z0rp1Wp7arpGh5NcGmYxL0c4ecgyy77-r2IhMJOQLa-RrPKpte5HiDU2bLWCAjqDTSoS2VFOnTY&category=acrcp_v1_45&sig=AOD64_0JfhD4mb3XeXqMiBrhtFjoRZnvew&ctype=5&q=&nis=4&ved=2ahUKEwiN3M2U8rqOAxVm1QIHHabfD4oQ9aACKAB6BAgDEEI&adurl= Is there anything preferable or not?

Answer
Shalom and blessings
A medicine that does not have a good taste is permitted to be taken even without kosher certification.
