Is Protoflow Vegan, Gluten-Free or Non-GMO?
Is Protoflow vegan? No. The Supplement Facts panel lists gelatin among the other ingredients, and gelatin is an animal product, so the capsules are not vegetarian or vegan. The sales page says otherwise. The label prints no gluten-free or non-GMO statement, and no certificate for either is shown.

Why is Protoflow not vegan?
The other ingredients line reads: rice flour, gelatin, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, maltodextrin, soy protein concentrate, water (Protoflow bottle label).
Gelatin is made from animal collagen, and it is what the capsule shell is made of. Vegan capsules use plant shells instead. The label never says plant-based.
The sales page describes the product as "Non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free" (Protoflow info page). When a sales page and a label disagree, the label is the legal record, and this site follows it.
Three words02
What can the label prove about each claim?
Nothing for vegan, and nothing for gluten-free or non-GMO either, because no statement or certificate is shown.
| Sales-page word | What the label shows | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Vegan | Gelatin capsule | Contradicted |
| Gluten-free | No gluten-free statement; oat straw and maltodextrin are listed | Unproven |
| Non-GMO | No certificate; soy protein concentrate is listed | Unproven |
Unproven does not mean false. It means a buyer with celiac disease or a strict rule on GMOs has nothing to check.
Allergy flag03
Is there anything else a vegan buyer should know?
Soy is on the label. Soybeans are one of the nine major food allergens that FDA tracks (FDA, Food Allergies).
Ask the order desk at +1 (302) 200-3480 before you buy, and ask your own clinician. Do not rely on the word "gluten-free" from an ad.
The deeper look at the shell and the soy is in Protoflow gelatin and soy.

What can a vegan or vegetarian man do instead?
Skip this product, and talk to a clinician about the symptom that brought you here.
The guarantee covers returns within 60 days, but a gelatin capsule cannot be un-eaten. Decide before the first capsule. Our ingredients page shows what the plants and vitamins are, in case you want to ask a pharmacist about a plant-only product.
FAQ05
Is Protoflow vegan: questions
What is a Protoflow capsule shell made of?
Gelatin, per the other ingredients line. Gelatin comes from animals, so the shell is neither vegetarian nor vegan (Protoflow bottle label).
Why does the sales page say Protoflow is vegan?
We cannot say. The page names 8 botanicals and no amounts, and it leaves out gelatin and soy (Protoflow info page).
Is maltodextrin the reason Protoflow may not be gluten-free?
Not necessarily. Maltodextrin is often made from corn, but the label does not name the source, so it proves nothing either way.
Would the money-back guarantee cover a vegan buyer who opened a bottle?
The sales page offers 60 days, but ask the desk first about opened bottles.
Is there a vegan version of Protoflow?
We know of none. The only product on the sales page is the gelatin capsule.
