Are the capsules made of gelatin? Is this vegetarian?

These were in tablet form , not capsules . As far as being vegetarian I'm sure they are , but I'm not absolutely sure.

There are no capsules. The garlic was pressed into a tablet form. Personally I prefer capsules instead of tablets. However the Nature Made garlic is easy to swallow. I usually take three tablets at one time. It helps keep my blood pressure under control

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.

I don't know about the vegetarian part, the they seem to be gelatin capsules. They have reduced both the frequency and the intensity of my headaches.

Yes as far as I know they are soy free. The other ingredients inside the Vegan capsule apart from the Olive Leaf extract,are magnesium stearate and silica.Vegetable capsules consist of only two ingredients: HPMC and purified water.HPMC -- Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose -- is derived from vegetable cellulose. 100% natural, these capsules contain no preservatives, gelatin, wheat, animal by-products or starch, and they are made from pure cellulose of either pine or poplar. Hope this helps you.

it is vegan and most likely the cholesterol comes from the gelatin capsules, but I cannot tell you for sure.

the capsule is labeled plant derived. The Christophers website states this about their vegetable capsule.Vegetable capsules are made from carbohydrate gum derived from naturally occurring vegetable cellulose, or plant fiber (in particular, pine plant cellulose). 100% free from animal by-products and preservatives, these certified kosher vegetable capsules do not interfere with digestion and absorption of the ingredients within. I would believe they are vegan.

On the label it says "other ingredients: Vegetable Capsule", so I have to assume that they are vegan caps.

Hi Ahmad, though I'm not affiliated with the company and can't give you a 100% answer, I do believe you are correct in that most gelatin is derived from pork as well as bovine. Almost half of all gelatin comes from pork by products, however. So, chances are pretty high that is the case with these capsules, as well.

No, it's not. I got these thinking it was, but buried in the ingredients list is gelatin (made of animal bones + tendons).

The gelatin that is used to manufacture capsules and softgels (and Jell-O brand gelatin) is derived from beef cattle. Gelatin is an animal-source protein but it is not a complete protein. It is missing several essential amino acids, including methionine and lysine. "Vegetarian" capsules are made of water-soluble cellulose, which is a dietary fiber that is derived from plants.

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. :)

These are NOT vegetarian. I ordered them, thinking that they were, only to find out that they have gelatin.

ingredients on bottles say vitex agnus castus (fruit), gelatin (capsule), magnesium stearate, silica so it appears to be vegetarian hope this helps

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.

Yes, you are correct. Gelatin is animal derived. This product lists "kosher gelatin" as an ingredient, which I believe is used in making the soft gel. So, although the supplement itself may be all plant derived, the delivery is not. So not vegan or vegetarian as currently offered.

Lori, the label states: Other ingredients - Cellulose, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate (vegetable source). Capsule consist of gelatin. No wheat, no gluten, no soybeans, no dairy, no egg, no fish/shellfish, no peanuts/tree nuts. Hope this helps, there is also a website to go to at www.jarrow.com, maybe that would answer any questions.
