Thanks for your question J.Watson. Gelatin can come from plants, animals and fish. However, in order to give you the correct answer, I am contacting the manufacture. I'm sure I will hear back from them within a day or two and will post a definite answer here. The Eden Team

Pure beef gelatin is the only ingredient listed on the package. Here is the NOW site to check further http://www.nowfoods.com

I contacted the company and it is NOT from grassfed cows. (And for at least some of us it DOES matter whether gelatin is from grassfed cattle, whether we view it as a personal health issue or an ethical one.)

The package does not indicate if it comes from grass fed beef. The ingredient just says "Pure Beef Gelatin". I would suggest emailing the producer NOW Real Food.

There are non-animal capsules, but these are typically marked "vegetarian capsule" or "Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose" or maybe the inconsistent "vegetarian gelatin". Anything like this that just says "gelatin" is almost certainly animal-based.

Well, the ingredient is 100% gelatin, but I suspect you don't actually want the ingredients, you want to know what the gelatin is made from. It's pig and beef skin, as well as bones and connective tissue of those and other animals, like chicken and fish. The collagen is rendered from animal parts, and turned into gelatin via hydrolysis.

The gelatin is not defined in the ingredient list. Since there isn't a kosher stamp on it, that would not rule out meat of any sort.

Yes it is gelatin. It is the bones, hides, ears etc. of the animal, which when brought to that state makes gelatin in its purest form.It really helps the joints. I drink it twice a day. No flavor I put it in pineapple juice which is an enzyme that helps break down the proteins..

The description says vegetarian yet the ingredients state gelatin. Since gelatin is not vegetarian I am not sure what to think.

Anytime any ingredient says Gelatin...it is always animal based. Look on Vitacost.com for Vegan vitamin E...I will be doing the same.

Yes, this contains gelatin. I suspect the gelatin is from an animal source, as the glycerin content is listed as "vegetable glycerin". They also contain soy.

Hellos Amanda, the product was originally manufactured as vegan, but has since changed to a gelatin capsule. We have updated our description and photos to reflect the latest information.

It isn't written on the bottle. However, it does say that it is not for vegetarians. I would ask a pharmacist but I doubt it is from pork. Gelatine is usually produced from either beef, fish or vegetable. Hope this helps.Patricia
