Question

The doctor instructed me to take a certain vitamin, and I can't find it with kosher certification. I wanted to know if a vitamin needs kosher certification?

Answer

Shalom and complete health

It is appropriate to adhere to kosher certification, but according to the law, if the medicine does not have a good taste, it is permissible to take it without kosher certification.

A medicine that has a good taste, as is common with vitamins that come as lozenges, requires kosher certification according to the law.
