Airborne? Is It Vegan?

A lot of people are sick with colds and the flu and I was wondering if anyone knew if Airborne is safe for vegans. I checked out the website but it didn’t have any information on whether it was or not. It did say that they do not have any milk products though.
I read the ingredients and it said: Vitamin A (100% Palmitate), Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), Vitamin E ( Acetate), Riboflavin, Magnesium, Slenium, Zinc, Amino Acids (Glutamine as L Glutamine, Lysine as L Lysine) Manganese, Potassium and Herbal Exracts ( Maltodextrin, Lonicera, Forsynthia, Schizonepeta, GInger, Chinese Viex, Isatis Root, Echinacea
Under other ingredients there is Citric acid, sodium bicarbonate, sorbitol, Potassium bicarbonate, orange flavor, Mineral oil, Sucralose, Acesulfame potassium.
I’ve heard that vitamin E (Acorbic acid) may be from animal. And I’m not sure about the orange flavor.
The website is www.airbornehealth.com.
I might search for a phone number later, but I have class all day.

    Actually, if there’s any ingredient to investigate it would be glutamine, a protein. Though beans and nuts are sources of glutamine, so are fish, meat & dairy. There’s no indication if the formulation in Airborne is synthetic or natural, let alone vegan.
    Sorry not to have an answer, but I wanted to at least put you on the right path.
