yes, there is milk in them. I went on their website and checked the ingredients

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!

Thanks to Modern science, gel caps can now be made from vegetable sources. Many supplements now boast of vege gel caps.

The capsule is made of fish gel. There is no mention of bovine. This is my favorite choice of a krill oil product since it has so much astaxanthin and phospholipids in it. I also take Now Ultra Omega 3s. 2 of each daily. .

They did not come with caps. They do sell the tops with caps separately, though. We just cover the top with cling wrap and the screw the cap back on. Works well for us.

They are definitely not silicone. I am pretty sure they are polypropylene or LDPE. There is no identifying code on the bottom of the bottle, but there is a '5' on the inside of the cap. The look and feel is consistent with lab wash bottles made of those materials (I used to be a Chemist)

Only the caps that have the nipples. When I pump I use medela caps or Dr. Brown caps I bought on Amazon.

I'm sorry, I don't have the answer. I bought this for my 3 year old son and never have bought caps for it.

Mine came with the caps that you see in the picture. You can cut off the ends to increase/decrease the flow of what's coming out. What they do NOT have is a COVER for the caps. I simply open mine, put some plastic wrap below the lid/cap and then screw the lid back on. Works better IMHO.

Yes, but I do believe they are made from vegtable protein versus animal. But,yes, they do come in clear capsule form

They do NOT have milk protein. My son is gluten, casein, soy and artificial dye free. He has been taking them for a few months with no problems. The sugar free version DOES have traces of casein and soy. I verified this on their official website.

I do not remember mine coming with a cap. I lose them anyway, sorry wish I could be more help.

They are a pretty dark color gel cap. I don't know for sure but have always assumed that it is to protect the contents from light since I have known that to be necessary for some products to prevent them from breaking down.

It is advertised as non-GMO (see naturewise.com). The product is reported to contain no fillers in a softgel gelatin glycerin capsule. I do not know if they have external certification for their gelcap source.

Like everything else- these will not last forever. However, I have been impressed with their life span thus far. I used these for a few months as my son was transitioning into solid foods and could have used them longer. They probably got about 20 uses each and I hand washed them. I will keep them to use for future children. The caps have held up just fine for me, but I was tipped off by someone else to save some caps from commercial baby food pouches in case you need a replacement down the road.

The culture itself does not contain milk or dairy, but since it's used to culture dairy (by feeding on the lactose or milk sugar), it is hard to see what you are getting at here. I do not know if it would make the same product or be able to grow on soy "milk" or other non-dairy liquids.

Hi Don-the interior portion of the cap is made from BPA-free polypropylene with a food grade silicone seal. All materials were thoroughly researched and tested before being selected. Hope this helps.
