I use the tablet form, therefore I don't know what the source of the gelatin use in the capsules.

I didn't mean to just answer yes. I was on my phone when I clicked that. Gelatin is derived from the collagen of animals. That could be cow or pig. Or other animals. Unless it details where they got the gelatin from no one can correctly answer yes or no because we do not know the source of their gelatin.

I FOUND THE ANSWER AT THE MANUFACTURER'S WEBSITE, WWW.NOWFOODS.COM. IT SAYS :Where do you obtain the gelatin used in your hard gelatin caps?The gelatin used in our gelatin capsules is obtained through the processing of collagen derived from the skin, white connective tissues and bones of beef and pork. Softgel capsules are typically derived from beef gelatin as well. For vegetarian and vegans we also offer certain products in vegetable caps, which are made from plant cellulose or polysaccharides.

Yes, the capsules are made of gelatin. Gelatin is derived from animals. Vegetarian capsules are made of cellulose.

It lists a beef gelatin capsule. I recently bough more but opted for a brand that is organic from Ceylon Cinnamon Shop, also on Amazon.

"Veggie capsules" refers to the capsules themselves which are made from soybean and other plant sources. Regular capsules often contain gelatin, which is made from the boiled skins, bones, ligaments and tendons of cows and pigs.But you're right, the ingredients inside the capsules contain glucosamine from shellfish and chondroitin from a bovine source.Hope that helps :-)Kristina BrooksThe VitaBreeze Team

Well, the ingredient is 100% gelatin, but I suspect you don't actually want the ingredients, you want to know what the gelatin is made from. It's pig and beef skin, as well as bones and connective tissue of those and other animals, like chicken and fish. The collagen is rendered from animal parts, and turned into gelatin via hydrolysis.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this product is not certified vegan or vegetarian. The ingredients in this product are as follows:Iron (naturally occurring), L-Tryptophan. Other ingredients: gelatin (capsule), dibasic calcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, and magnesium stearate.It is possible that the gelatin used to make the capsule is derived from animal sources. For more information, our best suggestion would be to contact Source Naturals directly. We hope this helps! ~Juliana

Anything that is gelatin coated is primarily animal not always vegetable sources and It's goal is to create flavor. To answer your question it does contain animal sources.

"Other ingredients: Vegetable capsule (HPMC [cellulose], water), and magnesium stearate (vegetable source)"

Bovine Gelatin means it comes from cows. Most gelatin that is used in pills/supplements on the market seems to come from pork. I try, where possible, to buy from companies that use a vegetarian capsule instead of the typical pork and beef formulations.

I looked on my bottle and I see Gelatin listed under other ingredients, so the best I can do is say I am guessing it is a gelatin capsule. I hope that helps you.

It isn't written on the bottle. However, it does say that it is not for vegetarians. I would ask a pharmacist but I doubt it is from pork. Gelatine is usually produced from either beef, fish or vegetable. Hope this helps.Patricia

Some capsules are made of gelatin, an animal product, which would be unacceptable to vegetarians/vegans. Apparently these capsules are made from plant materials only.

Ingredients on bottle list gelatin and water, so must be gelatin capsules. The back of the bottle states this product is a proprietary blend of organic evening primrose oil, organic flax oil, organic pumpkin oil, organic extra virgin coconut oil, organic high linoleic safflower oil and organic high linoleic sunflower oil. Hope this info helps.
