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.

The ingredient list does list gelatin, but it doesn't tell what the source of the gelatin is

Far as I know, gelatin is an animal product. Googling it, I could be wrong. I don't have the bottle anymore.... sorry.

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

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.

Hello Dan, I am surprised myself that I never checked origin of material to produce this gelatin which printed on the package only "NOW FOODS" as Distributer. I looked their web site but I couldn't find very clear answer. Regarding of consciousness I sent mail to the company. They responded promptly. But i am still not sure Why they couldn't specified of "local maker"- whoever it is,they could make anything in same building their Factory without let us know of. "MADE IN USA"doesn't mean 100% safe that we should always keep in our mind too. You might have now more information than mine.if so,please share information to other consumers!

According to the website, the gelatin is from the bones of bovine not from the hooves or skin. You might want to go to their website and research for yourself.

Other ingriedients include gelatin, calcium stearate, silicon dioxide, cellulose, croscarmelosa sodium. I would assume since gelatin is one of the ingriedients, that component at least is derived from animal by-products.

We are happy to help! As stated on the NOW Foods website, "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". We hope this information is helpful!

I do not know the answer to this question. But I am assuming it is regular gelatin. I will say this much for the product though. I tried Heather's product, and I know that this one is much more powerful and works better. Gelatin or no gelatin, it is worth the try.

It is a form of gelatin. However, it works a lot better and you use less, it also gives the product a better and more professional taste.
