Is the gelatin vegetarian based?

They are chewable tablets compressed as the Flintstones characters are not jellies

They supposedly are Kosher. Gelatin is made from bones and skin of animals, usually cows. In order to be sure you might want to ask the manufacturer directly.

To be honest I do not know. but they are not listed as vegetarian so if that is important to you and your health I would not use them. They are however an excellent product. They are more sensitive to moisture than most animal protein capsules but that does not confirm them as Vegetable based. Hope this helps in your decision.

Ugh! Sadly it contains stupid additives like gelatin and magnesium stearate. The latter is a machine cleaning agent they mix in there that is "harmless" in small amounts of humans. No thanks as far as the additives! As far as the gelatin, it is usually bovine derived. Meaning it is made from the tissue of dead animals. Kinda gross, vegan or no vegan.

PS, JB-- Thanks for answering! They should state these things in the description...this does make it vegan (as long as there's no gelatin...)

It does contain gelatin but doesn't state the source. It doesn't however have any of the usual animal substitutes of seaweed or agar. I hope this helps.

I didn't mean to just answer yes. I was on my phone when I clicked that. Gelatin is derived from the collagen of animals. That could be cow or pig. Or other animals. Unless it details where they got the gelatin from no one can correctly answer yes or no because we do not know the source of their gelatin.

Yes, the capsule is gelatin. When I purchased them, it said they were vegan so I didn't bother to check. After 3 bottles, I noticed the gelatin and was furious since I'm vegan. My bad for trusting! I contacted the company and they were very apologetic, sent me a 32 oz bottle of MCT oil, and promised to look into getting v-caps.

The gelatin that is used to manufacture capsules and softgels (and Jell-O brand gelatin) is derived from beef cattle. Gelatin is an animal-source protein but it is not a complete protein. It is missing several essential amino acids, including methionine and lysine. "Vegetarian" capsules are made of water-soluble cellulose, which is a dietary fiber that is derived from plants.

Hi, I don't know. I have not yet run across gelatin from grass fed cattle. Thanks for bringing up the question.

According the manufacturers web site : "The gelatin that we use in our products is derived from a porcine (pork) source and is bovine (beef) free." Treat this as you will!

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

I'm sorry but I don't know. It just says gelatin. I wouldn't know how to tell if it's vegan or not. Sorry.

Gelatin is not made of plant. Usually it is made from cow. The person who said the bottle said the gelatin was from plant sources did not read the label correctly. That was in reference to the cellulose. Read the label for yourself. Even jello is non-vegetarian.

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..

it is vegan and most likely the cholesterol comes from the gelatin capsules, but I cannot tell you for sure.

I don't know; however, I'm a vegan but determined that the product was worth taking no matter the source of the gelatin. In needing to rid myself and my spouse of parasites, it wasn't worth being a vegan purist.
