How are these capsules vega if there is gelatin in them? I'm confused

My bottle does not list gelatin as an ingredient. The capsules appear to be made from vegetable cellulose.

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.

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

Yes. The capsules are gelatin. Under other ingredients on the label it states: gelatin.

The label states other ingredients as being plant-based but not the gelatin capsule. There is no mention on the bottle that the product is 100% vegetarian. So, it looks as if the capsules are probably gelatin derived from animal sources.

Thanks for the question Tami! Our capsules are vegetarian capsules made from only the safest Non GMO plant cellulose. Looking forward to hearing about your awesome results! David Fresco

The photographs in Amazon's listing are outdated. The ingredients in the capsules have changed, and so has the label. There is no provision here to attach photos, so I will have to describe the new label, and the new list of ingredients. The capsules now contain NO gelatin. On the new label, the ingredients are listed as follows: "Vitamin C (2mg), Vitamin K2 (100 mcg)(as Menaquinone-7)(MK-7)(from Non-GMO Natto); Other Ingredients: Rice Flour, Cellulose (capsule) and Silica. Contains soy. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, or tree nut ingredients." Certified Kosher. The front of the label reads: "NOW Vitamin K-2; Supports Bone Health; 100 mcg; From Non-GMO Natto; Promotes Arterial Health; 60 Veg Capsules; A Dietary Supplement; Vegetarian/Vegan; GMP Quality Assured". As you can see from the ingredients and the "Vegetarian/Vegan" specifications on the label, NOW MK-7 capsules now contain no gelatin. Amazon really should change the photos associated with this product. I have updated photos and have sent feedback on the current images, along with an offer to provide updated photos of the product's new label.

It depends on how strict you are. The bottle says "May contain lactose as a processing aid." Also it says, "Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients. Produced in a GMP facility that processes other ingredients containing these allergens." Also, they capsules are made of gelatin, typically made from bovine parts. I would say it's not a vegan product if you are a strict vegan. That said, I love these and take them daily. I am on a Paleo diet, the opposite of vegan.

I think that they are vegan, it says that they are produced only from vegetable products. They are not gelatin, they are instead a regular hard pill that dissolves under your tongue. It says that not milk products are used in the production. I think they should be fine. Hope this helps!

The container says take 3 capsules. Other ingredients list gelatin so I guess they are gel-capsules. They are soft and less than an inch long. I take three at a time, but then I have no trouble swallowing pills. I do know that they work.

The capsule itself is vegetarian. But the contents certainly are not.. I'm vegan.. Other than these.. But they keep gallbladder attacks away.

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

It shows other ingredients as Vegetable capsule (HPMC-(Cellulose), water) and magnesium stearate (vegetable source). Also shows that is does not contain milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat or soybeans. It says its a Vegan/Vegetarian product.

Yes, they do contain gelatin so they are not vegan or even suitable for vegetarians. You could purchase some veggie caps and transfer the powder or even just open the capsule and add the contents to water/juice, etc. The only brand I know of off hand that is vegan is Sun Chlorella Nutritional Tablets, 500 mg, 600 Count There is a huge difference in price though.

Yes, there are. Gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. I assume the gelatin is part of the capsule. Most likely some of the ingredients are filler. I am taking this hoping it helps.

The capsules are like any other. They are like what you get when you take vitamins, such as Omega 3. I think they are Vegan.

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.
