Is the vegetarian capsule GMO Free? Supplement products sometimes claim that the active ingredient is GMO Free, but what about the capsule itself?

Dear Nakamura,According to the website of the manufacturer, the only information related to the capsule is "Vegan Capsule (plant cellulose)". If you are looking for specific information, probably calling the manufacturer "Deva Nutrition" is a better option.Sincerely,The Vitamin Corner

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.

Dear Michaele, We are excited to say that our product is now micro-encapsulated and includes Bio-Perine(black pepper) for maximal absorption. We have also reformulated to include a veggie cap. The product is also 3rd party tested to be soy and dairy free. In addition, as always this is a non-gmo product. We wish you the best and feel free to message us if you ever need assistance. - Smoky Mountain Naturals

Biotech has are two different products that are both 50,000 IU of Vitamin D3. One has gelatin capsules, one has vegetarian capsules. Each container specifies which one it is. If it says "veggie caps" or "vcaps" then it is the non-gelatin version. The vcap version is also usually slightly more expensive than the gelatin version.

Probably synthetic. I contacted the company re another product & here's their comprehensive reply. Also, please check the link at the bottom as it has more good info;) Thank you for your recent correspondence. Due to customer feedback and response, Life Extension is in the process of transitioning our product line to include ingredients derived only from non-GMO sources. Most newly-launched products will be free of ingredients derived from GMOs. Existing products with corn and soy-based active ingredients are in process of having the labels updated to list when soy and corn-derived active ingredients have been certified to be from non-GM food crops. As the labels are updated the information will be transferred to the product descriptions on our website and directory. Currently Life Extension already offers several premium quality non-GMO products. A list of Non-GMO Life Extension products is attached as a PDF for your reference. This list is not all inclusive and was last updated 11/4/2013. We do not have plans at this time to use the Non-GMO Verified Project; however, we appreciate your suggestion and will forward it to our quality control department for consideration in future product formulations. For more information on Life Extension's commitment to purity and quality, please reference the following document: http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Health-Nutrition-Awards/Good-Manufacturing-Practice.htm If you have any additional questions, please e-mail us or call the advisor helpline at (800) 226-2370; international customers dial 001-954-202-7660. We will be happy to assist you.

Dr. Dave, I do believe that this product line uses any GMO in any of their products. personally use the lypo-spheric vitamin C, it 50 States non GMO. As far as shelf life I'm not sure. I use mine as soon as I get it. I use it everyday

That's a good question. Perhaps that's why it doesn't dissolve. It does not say GMO free.

Thank you for your question. Nature's Plus recently changed the look of the product a little, and did tweak the formula a bit. We are in the process of requesting the Amazon accept our changes to the page to reflect this. But to answer your question directly, carrageenan is not part of any of the active ingredients, but it IS part of what makes up the vegan capsule.

I contacted the company because I was also interested in this answer. Here is their response. "Thank you for your inquiry. As one of the leading dietary supplement manufacturers catering to the professional market, Metagenics values the concerns of clinicians and consumers of its supplements and are committed to using safe and clinically effective ingredients. We have a strong initiative to source non-GMO ingredients and a number of years ago embarked on an internal program to review each-and-every ingredient sourced by Metagenics. We are now nearing end of that exhaustive review and, to date, greater than ninety-eight percent of the approximately six-hundred individual raw materials have been reviewed by Metagenics as being "GMO-free." All major raw materials used in the manufacture of its dietary supplements, functional foods, and medical foods have been reviewed and verified regarding non-GMO status and Metagenics is committed to review of the last few remaining minor raw materials. As to "GMO-free" labeling, this is not used at this time due to ethical consideration as state and/or Federal authorities have not ratified specific GMO-free definition."

I looked at the label on line. It doesn't say. However, I bought Viva Labs Curcumin C3 Complex, and that label says "suitable for vegetarians, non-GMO and Gluten-Free. Perhaps that might be a better choice. Also available from Amazon.

Good Question. It is "food based" but it is unclear if it is GMO free or not. I can only hope so. With the knowledge of GMO's I would think a company that has a product that is GMO free would boldly advertise that on it packaging and bottle.

I bought this once from Amazon because I needed it QUICK! I have been selling Orthomolecular in my doctors office for over 10 years because they are clean pharmaceutical grade products free of gluten, corn , yeast, artificial flavors and colorings. Most all their capsules are vegetarian caps. Some products list calcium silicate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide and stearic acid. I do know we have great success with all their products and these enzymes can be a miracle.

Hi. I am not vegan or do I always buy organic but according to the label it says: Contains no apple fiber, rice flour, artificial colors or preservatives. Vegetarian. Also under the supplement facts it lists the blends that are organic which is most of them: all of the juice blends, and most of the poten-zyme whole food matrix, which are the grasses and sprouts, and most of the veggie juice blends. Hope this is somewhat helpful.Thanks.

Hello, We do not see Non-Gmo listed in the supplement facts. We advise to contact Jarrow Formulas directly to answer this question.

Capsule is made out of gelatin which is an animal product. I don't think it is vegan.
