-veganyogini@lactovegan…..what exactly is a lactovegan….it is not possible to be lactovegan.

(Yes it is. We are.)

-JuniWolf@lactovegan Also… there’s really no such thing as a lactovegan. Unless by “vegan” you mean “vegetarian”

(That is what I wanted to say until I realized I had to explain everytime I ate out what my definition of vegetarian was… “No, I don’t eat eggs, No sir, fish is not vegetarian.. bleh bleh”. For some reason everytime I say I am lactvegan, waiter’s tend to understand.. at least here in Cali they do! Or else they ask and I explain and it’s settled once and for all)

-isitvegan@HHVeganos Uh, I just noticed @lactovegan is streaming my tweets in their web bar! FYI: I don’t support ANY vegan drinking milk.

(I understand your concern. If you are uncomfortable with your tweets being streamed, I will remove them.)

-VeganInLA@lactovegan Vegetarian & vegan HAVE definitions. It’s people like u that screw them up. Veggies don’t eat fish & vegans don’t eat cow pus.

(If only the definition of veggie was better understood. )

Luckily they recently added a vegan section on the site as well! So, you can have all your vegan news on one page at http://vegan.alltop.com/

An interesting research paper about Creatine Ethyl Ester can be found at https://beardocs.baylor.edu/bitstream/2104/5256/1/mike_spillane_masters.pdf (shout out to Brian G for discovering this…)

So, I had been searching for quite a while for good vegetarian Creatine supplements and today I finally found one at Vitamin world. Its called ‘Creatine Ethyl Ester – AKG’ by ‘Precision Limited’ and is available as tablets.

The label on this does not list any animal sources, but I wasn’t sure if it is pure vegetarian. The guys at the store were not sure about this either :-/, but told that I can return it (even if it’s opened) if I didn’t like it..

So, I bought it anyway, thinking I would call the Vitamin World to confirm. And as it turns out, Cathy from Vitamin World found that this product is listed as Vegetarian in their database!! Cathy was helpful enough to search their data base for more vegetarian Creatine products..

Here is the complete list:

Creatine Ethyl Ester (Tablets)..
High Performance Creatine – Fruit Punch (Powder).
High Performance Creatine – Grape (Powder).
Creatine Hardcore (Powder).

Why invent a new term? In American society, the term vegan is very well understood. But, everybody has their own definition of vegetarianism. Depending upon indivdual interpretation, a vegetarian food may include dairy, eggs or fish. To overcome this vagueness in description of  individuals who do not consume meat, eggs, fish etc. but do consume veggies and dairy, we use the term lactovegan.
