Q. Can I use these vitamins on Pesach? They are very important for a medical diet that I'm undertaking.
Thanks
PS please see the e mail bellow from Freeda Vitamins
...Thank you for your email. There is no chametz in any of our individual vitamin B6 or B12 supplements. The Vitamin B12 lozenges contain mannitol which is derived from kitniyot. Except for the No Folic, No Paba B Complex, our B complex formulas contain inositol which is derived from kitniyot. The vitamin C in the Quin B Strong with C and Zinc is derived from kitniyot.
If you have any other questions, please let us know. Have a good day.

A. Certifying vitamins for Pesach is not an easy task since their manufacture is complicated and great expertise and knowledge is required. In general proper hashgacha is required and when not available one should not consume vitamins and food supplements on Pesach. Please check with your pharmacist if the vitamins you require can be obtained with Pesach supervision.
When the required vitamins cannot be found, Horav Shlomo Miller's Shlit"a opinion is that if the vitamins contain modified kitnios or kitnios derivatives and they are needed for medicinal purposes, they are permitted.
