Bovine Gelatin means it comes from cows. Most gelatin that is used in pills/supplements on the market seems to come from pork. I try, where possible, to buy from companies that use a vegetarian capsule instead of the typical pork and beef formulations.

I am sorry, but I have no idea. I can tell you Nutrigold Vitamim D3 has worked for me since I started using it. My vitamin D test is normal. Benny

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.

Its from non bse cattle http://www.drbvitamins.com/information/faqs/category/1Our capsules are typical gelatin capsules, with the exception of select products now available in veggie cap form. (See veggie cap listing.) They are made of gelatin from cattle, like the "Knox gelatin" sold in grocery stores.The gelatin used to make the Doctor's Best capsules is manufactured in accordance with strict guidelines that ensure it is BSE-free. The FDA and the supplement industry approved these guidelines. Our gelatin is made only from cattle living in non-BSE countries.

Gelatin (or gelatine, from Latin: gelatus = stiff, frozen) is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), flavorless solid substance, derived from collagen obtained from various animal by-products. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceuticals, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing. Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolysed form of collagen, and is classified as a foodstuff. It is found in most gummy candies as well as other products such as marshmallows, gelatin dessert, and some ice cream, dip and yogurt. Household gelatin comes in the form of sheets, granules, or powder. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others need to be soaked in water beforehand. Pectin (from Ancient Greek: &#960;&#951;&#954;&#964;&#953;&#954;&#972;&#962; p&#275;ktiks, "congealed, curdled"[1]) is a structural heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of terrestrial plants. It was first isolated and described in 1825 by Henri Braconnot.[2] It is produced commercially as a white to light brown powder, mainly extracted from citrus fruits, and is used in food as a gelling agent particularly in jams and jellies. It is also used in fillings, medicines, sweets, as a stabilizer in fruit juices and milk drinks, and as a source of dietary fiber.

It does not indicated what kind of gelatins. I'm assuming is coming from pork or some animal but I don't like guessing. I will contact them.

The ingredients list includes gelatin. Gelatin, is a substance derived from the processing of animal collagen. There is also a warning label to do not take if you have a medical condition..

NO! Knox gelatin is made from the cartilage and bones of animals, and makes "Jello"-type desserts or broth-thickeners. Pectin is fruit-derived and is what makes jam or jellies gel.

I checked the bottle and it does not specify whether the lactoferrin comes from cows. It says that lactoferrin comes from breast milk, tears and other body fluids. My guess is that it is derived from cow's colostrum, the first - extremely healthy - milk that is given to new born calves.

The label does not stipulate one way or the other, however gelatin is the first ingredient, which I believe is derived from animals.

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! ;)

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.

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

I bought it because a wonderful book I have about digestive health said it was from grass fed animals. However, I checked the container and it does not say this anywhere on the can. It is the only gelatin that our health food store carries, so I assume it is the most natural around. Their website does not say "grass fed" either. Just looked.
