Are the pictures from two different bottles? Gelatin is absolutely not Vegetarian.

The photographs in Amazon's listing are outdated. The ingredients in the capsules have changed, and so has the label. There is no provision here to attach photos, so I will have to describe the new label, and the new list of ingredients. The capsules now contain NO gelatin. On the new label, the ingredients are listed as follows: "Vitamin C (2mg), Vitamin K2 (100 mcg)(as Menaquinone-7)(MK-7)(from Non-GMO Natto); Other Ingredients: Rice Flour, Cellulose (capsule) and Silica. Contains soy. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, or tree nut ingredients." Certified Kosher. The front of the label reads: "NOW Vitamin K-2; Supports Bone Health; 100 mcg; From Non-GMO Natto; Promotes Arterial Health; 60 Veg Capsules; A Dietary Supplement; Vegetarian/Vegan; GMP Quality Assured". As you can see from the ingredients and the "Vegetarian/Vegan" specifications on the label, NOW MK-7 capsules now contain no gelatin. Amazon really should change the photos associated with this product. I have updated photos and have sent feedback on the current images, along with an offer to provide updated photos of the product's new label.

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

The front of the bottle that I was sent says "60 veg capsules." The back of the bottle shows that "Gelatin" is one of the "other ingredients."

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.

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.

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.

Well it's not vegetarian since it contains gelatin.It may be from pork gelatin or some other source

It does contain gelatin. My bottle expired months ago. Right after my kids finished it. Not sure what it would be when you purchase yours.

No there is no gelatin, these are veggie capsules, difference being that some people may not be able to consume gelatin due to diet or religion

Sorry Carrie, I can't answer your question. I stopped taking it. Gelatin is usually made from animal bones as far as I understand. I know some vitamin companies advertise 'gelatin free' and use some kind of cellulose. My guess would be that there IS gelatin, but I can't say for sure. I can say the product worked well. I did a quick search and it looks like they do have gelatin, but I'd call the company if that's a deal breaker. Hope this helped. :)

Capsule is made out of gelatin which is an animal product. I don't think it is vegan.

It doesn't say. It just says gelatin on the bottle. If you would like I can give you their customer service number if you want to call them.

These ones contain gelatin though, so if you're vegeatarian look for the ones that say "vegetarian".

Gelatin is animal based. A friend of mine is a vegetarian and won't eat anything with gelatin in it. I believe it is from animal hooves.

Yes they are! There are no animal or dairy products/bi-products in the ingredients. Only questionable ingredient would be the gelatin other wise the other 2 ingredients are magnesium stearate and calcium carbonate. I personally am not vegetarian so I do hope this helps you in your decision.

It says on the bottle that they are "vegetarian/vegan" and "Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, shellfish or tree nut ingredients."

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! ;)

I doubt it. Usually if something is organic, it is a selling point and they put it on the label. There is nothing on this label but gelatine, and I looked it up. Gelatine need not be organic and come or come from grass-fed cows.

The bottle does not say it has gelatin in it as I would not have purchase it if it had. I was looking for a veggie capsule because I try to keep kosher. Others might be vegetarians. Gelatin often comes from a pig rather than a cow. I had looked all over in all the drug stores I had access to before I found this one on-line. To be exact, the bottle says (mine does) it contains: "Vitamin D 3 50,000 units, Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable capsule. (Kosher and Halal certified). Contains no Dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, nuts, wheat, gluten, soy, sugar, yeast or artificial colors.' You have to be looking at something else; or, they've changed the product since I bought mine, but the bottle looks the same. The best you should do is contact the manufacturer. But, again, there is no word at all about "Gelatin" on my bottle. I just looked at the enlarged type on the bottle above and am concerned you've written an untruth about this product I looked all over for. There isn't a word about its having "Gelatin" in it and you should apologize. What I quoted is exactly what appears on the bottle pictured above. I wrote that before I checked to see what the bottle above says wondering how I could have missed that after searching for a couple of years for a kosher version.
