What does the Gelatin do in this? If it says no fillers isnt Gelatin a filler????

Hi. This has gelatin capsules instead of vegetable capsules. Gelatin is a popular alternative to veg caps both in the pharmaceutical and herbal supplements markets. The latter is a nice alternative for strict vegetarians.

Good question. Gelatin is a binder in cooking. It may be natural gelatin in the cambogia plant binding it. I have seen pictures of the pink beads inside the plant, itself, and they look to be adhesed to each other with a gelatinous type of substance. There must be a way of researching the elements and consistency of the plant this extract is from.

All capsules are made of gelatin. It is not an ingredient of the contents. What effect does it have?, I have no idea. I would guess little to none.

nope no gelatin listed on the label. the only one i hesitated on was cellulose gel, but that is plant based from what i can determine. :)it appears someone listed the ingredients under the questions and answers. when viewing the product scroll down. :)

Gelatin is animal based. A friend of mine is a vegetarian and won't eat anything with gelatin in it. I believe it is from animal hooves.

It doesn't state what type of gelatin and it does have the usual innocuous fillers

Sorry Carrie, I can't answer your question. I stopped taking it. Gelatin is usually made from animal bones as far as I understand. I know some vitamin companies advertise 'gelatin free' and use some kind of cellulose. My guess would be that there IS gelatin, but I can't say for sure. I can say the product worked well. I did a quick search and it looks like they do have gelatin, but I'd call the company if that's a deal breaker. Hope this helped. :)

In other words is this gelatin made of cattle or swine? Hi Orianna. It's probably made of 'both' as most gelatins are a combination of both cow and pig by-products (such as left over skin). I was gonna say that it's not such a big deal since it's really only a tiny amount but now that I've been asked to put it into words, yeah, not such a good thing. It's very easy to overlook such minute ingredients but overall it can (and often does) make a difference. It's apparent now that I must have been 'asleep' to have overlooked this factor. I will continue to purchase 'activated charcoal' but no longer from Nature's Way. We should always look for the 'Vegetarian Capsule' label before making a purchase. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! ;)

It doesn't say. It just says gelatin on the bottle. If you would like I can give you their customer service number if you want to call them.

According to the website, the gelatin is from the bones of bovine not from the hooves or skin. You might want to go to their website and research for yourself.

Go to the Nature Made website as it will show all the ingredients for each and every product this company makes. I finished my bottle- so I don't have it-and now use Nature's Way and it has gelatin. You may want to Google "gelatin free Vitamin D3 softgels" and maybe you can find exactly what you want. Hope this helps you find a gelatin free product.

Probably you will have to contact the company. The label only says "gelatin" and does not say the source of it.

I'm going to chime in, because there seems to be some confusion? It is very likely, this product contains animal products, as gelatin--is typically--made from animal (bovine) bone and marrow. HTH.

No it does not. I did do some research and made sure to try to buy the one that had no fillers or extra ingredients in there. Most websites said to make sure that if you do choose to buy this product to not buy the ones that have all that crap in it. This one did not have anything extra.

Like other said, it says no fillers, 100% natural. The label on the bottle says "our premium powder is water extracted and has absolutely no fillers or other ingredients."

I am uncertain if this product has gelatin, you should be able to look that up on the ingredients from the site.
