How are these capsules vegan if there is gelatin in them? I'm confused

The bottle says they are "vegetarian/vegan". The ingredients listed are activated charcoal, vegetable cellulose, rice flour, and calcium silicate. Gelatin is not listed as an ingredient. The picture on the bottle looks like a "tablet", but the actual product is a capsule.

The capsules are completely vegetarian friendly, made from Vegetable Cellulose instead of Gelatin :)

The capsules are like any other. They are like what you get when you take vitamins, such as Omega 3. I think they are Vegan.

I don't believe so. All it says is that they're vegan capsules and there are no artificial ingredients, binders, or fillers.

To my understanding these capsules are vegetarian based. I am a Vegan and I had to make sure Vegan was in the description.

These are gelatin capsules which are used primarily because the oils are affected by contact with air and so far vegetable capsules are not up to the standards of supplying a strong air barrier. This is something that is constantly under evaluation and vegetarian capsules will be used when possible in the future.

On the label it says "other ingredients: Vegetable Capsule", so I have to assume that they are vegan caps.

Unless it says Vegetarian or Vegan, I would make no assumptions. It may be due to the gelatin encasing each pill.

Dear Nakamura, According to the website of the manufacturer, the only information related to the capsule is "Vegan Capsule (plant cellulose)". If you are looking for specific information, probably calling the manufacturer "Deva Nutrition" is a better option. Sincerely, The Vitamin Corner

The lable states veg capsules. I see nothing in the ingredients that should be of concern to vegans. I do feel these help me with mental clarity.

They do have gelatin. so they are not vegan. For others it contains, no eggs, dairy, fish, peanuts, gluten, shellfish, wheat, yeast, sugar, flavors, preservatives.

They are lanolin capsules which comes from sheep. The gelatin from the capsules are from a beef source according to another review. No pork products are used. I only know if it's kosher if it says so. Unfortunately I do not see Kosher being listed. I do swear by the higher dose of this product. I still have not had any colds or illness since I've been taking this.

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

the capsule is labeled plant derived. The Christophers website states this about their vegetable capsule.Vegetable capsules are made from carbohydrate gum derived from naturally occurring vegetable cellulose, or plant fiber (in particular, pine plant cellulose). 100% free from animal by-products and preservatives, these certified kosher vegetable capsules do not interfere with digestion and absorption of the ingredients within. I would believe they are vegan.

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

It's not vegan, the capsule is gelatin. They do sell a vegetarian version, but instead of gelatin it's made of carrageenan (+ other ingredients).

Hello. Thank you very much for your question and sorry for the delayed response. The capsule itself is made with gelatin, which is an animal byproduct. Please let us know if we can answer any other questions for you. Best Regards, Innovex Nutrition
