Are the capsules made out of gelatin? I'm vegan and we avoid gelatin.

I haven't seen anything on the bottle about gelatin, BUT after a quick Google search, I see many entries that include gelatin in the ingredients list. Hope this helps :)

"Veggie capsules" refers to the capsules themselves which are made from soybean and other plant sources. Regular capsules often contain gelatin, which is made from the boiled skins, bones, ligaments and tendons of cows and pigs.But you're right, the ingredients inside the capsules contain glucosamine from shellfish and chondroitin from a bovine source.Hope that helps :-)Kristina BrooksThe VitaBreeze Team

I'm going to chime in, because there seems to be some confusion? It is very likely, this product contains animal products, as gelatin--is typically--made from animal (bovine) bone and marrow. HTH.

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

No:( apparently there's a vegan capsule and I specified that I wanted that one and still got the gelatin.

It says on the bottle that the capsules are gelatin. That doesn't worry me but if you can't have it-I'm not sure what type of capsules you could use? This is the best chlorella that we have found and we buy it every month. Hope this answers your question.

Yes, they do contain gelatin so they are not vegan or even suitable for vegetarians. You could purchase some veggie caps and transfer the powder or even just open the capsule and add the contents to water/juice, etc. The only brand I know of off hand that is vegan is Sun Chlorella Nutritional Tablets, 500 mg, 600 Count There is a huge difference in price though.

Hi. This has gelatin capsules instead of vegetable capsules. Gelatin is a popular alternative to veg caps both in the pharmaceutical and herbal supplements markets. The latter is a nice alternative for strict vegetarians.

Usually, this refers to the ingredients used to make the capsule's "shells" (outside coverings). If they are not marked "vegetarian," it's usually because the outside shell of the capsule is made with gelatin. Gelatin IS an animal product. Hope this helps; these are FANTASTIC B complex caps!

Hellos Amanda, the product was originally manufactured as vegan, but has since changed to a gelatin capsule. We have updated our description and photos to reflect the latest information.

Yes. The capsules are gelatin. Under other ingredients on the label it states: gelatin.

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

Hello Ahmad, Thank you so much for your question! Liporidex products currently use animal (beef) based gelatin in the capsules.

I don't know about the vegetarian part, the they seem to be gelatin capsules. They have reduced both the frequency and the intensity of my headaches.

All capsules are made of gelatin. It is not an ingredient of the contents. What effect does it have?, I have no idea. I would guess little to none.

The manufacturer does not state that the capsules are made of veggie gelatin and therefore I think it is not suitable for vegans.

They are not gelatin. One ingredient is modified cellulose gum. So, perhaps that is what you are interested in. Just to note: they do not come in a capsule form; they look like the ingredients have been compressed together in a pill shape instead of having some container or capsule that holds the ingredients within. Hopefully this helps.
