FAQs

Product Questions

  • Can Vega One® help me lose weight?

    We love this question because we get to talk about nutrient density (AKA the amount of nutrients compared to calories). Vega One® Organic All-in-One Shake and are nutrient dense foods, so you can use them any way that you would use a food. If you’re trying to lose weight, please consult your health care practitioner to know what’s right for you.

     

  • How much caffeine in Vega products?

    Vega’s plant-based protein powders Chocolate and Mocha flavors all have less than 25mg of caffeine from cocoa powder. For . Vega Sport® Premium Energizer, and Vega Sport® Sugar-Free Energizer all have 100mg of caffeine, from coffee fruit extract and green tea, per serving.

  • Can Vega One be used as a meal replacement?

    Vega One® Organic is a food—so you can enjoy it anytime you would eat other foods you love—meals, snacks or anywhere in between. Check the Nutrition Facts Panel to ensure that it has the amounts of macro and micronutrients that you are looking for.

  • Can I use expired product?

    We have a robust Quality Assurance program that methodically tests our products up to the expiry date. We do not recommend using expired products.

    • Can I use Vega® with a nut allergy?

      Vega® plant-based protein powders do not use nuts as ingredients, however they are not produced in a certified nut-free facility. For that reason we cannot make the claim that our nutritional shakes are nut free. Speak to your health care practitioner if you have a nut (or other) allergy before using Vega products. If you’re concerned about an allergen that isn’t listed on the ingredient list, check out this to learn more.

    • Why do the instructions say mix with a non-dairy beverage? Can I mix it with milk?

      Being a plant-based company, we recommend non-dairy beverages such as almond, hemp, coconut, or rice milk (to name a few) with all of our products, but by no means is this the end all, be all. If you like dairy, go for it!

    • What happens if I blend my silica pack?

      If you are concerned about a blended silica pack, please call your doctor. While we're sure this made your smoothie extra thick, there’s nothing to be concerned about. The silica-based desiccant packet in Vega® products is non-toxic. While not recommended to eat, no adverse reactions are expected if the desiccant is accidentally swallowed. Silica is a naturally-occurring mineral that is processed into a silica packet. Since it is a moisture-absorbing substance, if you drank most of your smoothie before you discovered you blended the silica pack into it, drink an additional amount of water throughout the day to help you stay hydrated.

    • Can I take Vega® products if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

      We always recommend you check with your healthcare practitioner on whether or not you personally should use Vega® products while pregnant or breastfeeding. To learn more about why, check out this blog post.

    • Are Vega® products organic?

      This is a great question! When you check out the ingredient panel of our labels, you’ll see “organic” in front of the specific ingredients that are certified organic.
      Organic Vega products include:

      • Why can’t I checkout?

        What’s the catch? It’s actually the cache! The cache is your browser’s history stored by the Internet. This is stored to help your web experience run smooth(ie). So, if you’ve visited a site more than once your computer can save time by not having to download the same files twice. How does this affect my visit on myvega.com? Sometimes the cache can interfere with your checkout process by collecting old information. If that’s the case, then a little refresher needs to take place. Think of it like a spring cleaning for your data. Please check with your browser for instructions on clearing your cache or contact us. We'd be happy to walk you through the steps to checkout success!

        Online Store - Shipping

        • What if I won’t be home during delivery?

          If you won’t be available at the time of delivery, FedEx may make a total of 3 attempts to deliver your package. You can sign the FedEx Door Tag that is left by the driver upon initial unsuccessful delivery, which would give FedEx the authority to leave the package without a signature when the next delivery attempt is made. After 3 unsuccessful delivery attempts, your package will be held at a FedEx location for up to 10 days for FedEx Ground® and 5 days for FedEx Express® service before it is returned to the shipper.

        • Can you remove the signature requirement for me?

          While the signature required option can’t be removed, you can sign the FedEx Door Tag that is left by the driver upon initial unsuccessful delivery. Signing this gives FedEx the authority to leave the package without a signature when the next delivery attempt is made. You may also contact FedEx at 800-463-3339 to request for your shipment to be held at a FedEx facility close to you. If you didn’t receive a door tag, please contact FedEx and request the driver leaves one on their next delivery attempt, should you not be home at that time.

        • I’ve ordered online before and my shipment was delivered without signature required. Why did you change that?

          Nobody likes things to go missing. We want to ensure that your favorite Vega® products make it to you safely, which is why we’ve implemented signature upon delivery with all orders. If you know you won’t be home to receive a delivery, we recommend to consider providing your work/office address instead.

        • What happens if a product is out of stock?

          If a product is currently out of stock you will not be able to place it in your cart. If a product becomes out of stock after you place your order, you will not be charged for the product, and it will not ship to you once it is back in stock. If you want to find out if an item is back in stock, email us at askvega@myvega.com
