I am not sure which of the gelatins to order. Why would I select the the one with collagen Hydrolysate rather than the straight gelatin, besides the price?

I ordered it because it was organic and Kosher a little collagen it helps with joint pain.

While the Collagen Hydolysate is easier to use, it is made from the ground up skins of the animal.I personally will stick to the bones and hoofs.

The Collagen Hydrolysate is more versatile. You can add it to hot or cold beverages, which is the best way to use it. Put it in your morning coffee or tea, and you won't be able to taste it at all. Also add it to your iced tea, and it dissolves beautifully with no taste to it. It doesn't gel, so it won't make things thick. You can even add it to foods like cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, hot or cold cereals...so many uses for the Hydrolysate. The Collagen gelatin is great when added to things you want thickened. Gravies, jello, stews, etc. Both of them are wonderful products, but I tend to use the Hydrolysate more often.

Go to the Nature Made website as it will show all the ingredients for each and every product this company makes. I finished my bottle- so I don't have it-and now use Nature's Way and it has gelatin. You may want to Google "gelatin free Vitamin D3 softgels" and maybe you can find exactly what you want. Hope this helps you find a gelatin free product.

Far as I know, gelatin is an animal product. Googling it, I could be wrong. I don't have the bottle anymore.... sorry.

I do not know the answer to this question. But I am assuming it is regular gelatin. I will say this much for the product though. I tried Heather's product, and I know that this one is much more powerful and works better. Gelatin or no gelatin, it is worth the try.

You're absolutely correct not to buy without seeing the ingredients label. There are many of the PLUS formulas and this being a medical food, you have to choose what is best for your needs. You can go to other sellers, like vitacost.com, which have the information, to make your choice (their price is higher). All foods should have the necessary information...sellers on Amazon, wake up!

Not sure what benefits you are looking for I purchased Youththeory Collagen 1,2 & 3 based on the reviews. If what you are currently using doesn't work you should continue your search. Goggle collagen to learn more about the tyes of collagens and what it's made from. Good luck.

Label contains no information regarding source of gelatin. I suggest contacting the manufacturer directly to answer your questions.

They have a new option where you can get it in Whey. I ordered the soy version (even though the image said Whey) it still came to me correctly.

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!

It is the same as collagen hydrolysate. It isn't gelatinous in your drink either.... It blends very good with smoothies or other beverages.

In other words is this gelatin made of cattle or swine? Hi Orianna. It's probably made of 'both' as most gelatins are a combination of both cow and pig by-products (such as left over skin). I was gonna say that it's not such a big deal since it's really only a tiny amount but now that I've been asked to put it into words, yeah, not such a good thing. It's very easy to overlook such minute ingredients but overall it can (and often does) make a difference. It's apparent now that I must have been 'asleep' to have overlooked this factor. I will continue to purchase 'activated charcoal' but no longer from Nature's Way. We should always look for the 'Vegetarian Capsule' label before making a purchase. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! ;)

Hello,One gram = 1,000 MG. I have read that one level tablespoon of collagen hydrolysate (aka "gelatin"), contains 7 grams of gelatin (or collagen), equaling 7,000 MG. Here is the link to the information: http://empoweredsustenance.com/collagen-hydrolysate-gelatin-hormones/. When you go to the page, scroll down about a quarter of the way.Hope this helps.

I have talked with the tech support on the phone and was told that all the formulas are same in terms of active ingredients, they are just labeled differently for different uses. Some people/contexts need specifically labeled products. There are differences in thickness in some of the products. There is the spray which is pure liquid, the hydrogel which is a light gel, the opthalmalgic formula which is extremely thick (and hurts like HECK in the eye, much prefer the hydrogel or liquid for the eye). Those are the ones I know. There is another question here about which formula is best for what, and that is a very valuable discussion, many of the answers contain valuable animal care insights. What I don't know is if the "Hot Spot" formula is the pure liquid or the gel (in terms of getting what they consider to be the best thickness for that use). You could call their Tech Support and ask them-- they were very friendly to me. But yes, the 16oz is the best deal and has the trigger sprayer which is so much easier to operate, especially when your hands are slippery. I also use this product on myself, they make a whole line for human use but it is ALL the same thing.

Personally, I think very highly of BSN protein products (they are my favorites). There may have been some slight labeling changes over the years but I cannot remember. My suggestion would be to ensure that the two products you are comparing are in fact the same (one might be isolate vs non-isolate, or size of the container, or the "Dessert" product vs the "Syntha-6" product). I'm not sure what you are referring to by "PD" and Exp", sorry. I understand your caution about trying something new but both my personal testimony and the aggregate of reviews on Amazon should provide you some confidence that you are purchasing a great product. Anything beyond that, you're just going to have to try it for yourself. Personally, I think very highly of BSN protein products (they are my favorites).

Sorry! I don't use that one anymore. I found a less-expensive brand that worksvery well: Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate. It's about half the price of this one and was recommended by Dr. David Williams, in his "Alternatives for the Health-Conscious Individual" newsletter. It says: "Hydrolyzed collagen is the same collagen found naturally in bones, skin and cartilage. It is a bioactive product containing 90% protein easily assimilated by the human body. It promotes rapid cell growth producing synovial fluids to first lubricate joints, then build tissue." (among other things) Seems to be working for me! Also fingernails have stopped flaking & become stronger, hair grows faster, too. Sorry! I don't use that one anymore.
