Here is what I received from Nordic Naturals: Dear Customer, We use bovine unless the product says "Fish Gelatin" in the title then we use fish. Regards, Customer Service | Omega-Direct Email: customerservice@omega-direct.com Web: www.Omega-Direct.com Phone: 1.800.595.2714

They don't say, but gelatin is always made from animal "by-products." You can Google it - vegeterians don't eat a lot of foods, such as marshmallows, b/c they contain gelatin. To avoid gelatin, Nordic Naturals makes a Children's Liquid DHA & if one takes a full tsp, will get a bit more DHA as 2 soft gels, 590 mg instead of 450 mg in 2 soft gels, and 350 mg EPA in one tsp instead of 90 in 2 soft gels.

Hello Ahmad, Thank you so much for your question! Liporidex products currently use animal (beef) based gelatin in the capsules.

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.

My bottle says both "veg capsules" and "gelatin" in the list of ingredients, so I am also confused.

The capsules are vegetarian and contain no gelatin, no gluten, no soy, no lactose, no artificial color, no shellfish and no preservatives. The labels states that the following Daily Values are met by each capsule: 40% Vitamin A, 100%Vitamin C, 100% Vitamin D3, 33% Vitamin E, 133% Vitamin B1, 176% Vitamin B2, 300% Vitamin B6, 100% Folic Acid, 417% Vitamin B12, 30% Biotin, 100% Vitamin B5, 15% Calcium, 2% Phosphorus, 8% Magnesium, 100% Zinc, 79% Selenium, 100% Copper, 150% Manganese, 92% Chromium and 2% Potassium. It also contains 300 mcg of Lycopene and 500 mcg of Lutein. It also states that they are made in USA. Hope this answers your question.

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

The bottle says they are "vegetarian/vegan". The ingredients listed are activated charcoal, vegetable cellulose, rice flour, and calcium silicate. Gelatin is not listed as an ingredient. The picture on the bottle looks like a "tablet", but the actual product is a capsule.

I have no idea. I have only seen capsules sold as either gelatin (of animal origin) or vegan (of plant origin). These are standard gelatin capsules and therefore, I am assuming, of animal origin.

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 product label, which can be viewed at the URL link given, states that gelatin is used. The amount is not stated, but I would guess that it is much less than what is in the two gelatin capsules that I routinely take daily.

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.

We are happy to help! As stated on the NOW Foods website, "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". We hope this information is helpful!
