The bottle does NOT identify the source of the gelatin, however, call Twin Lab at 1-800-645-5626 to identify the source.

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.

The description says vegetarian yet the ingredients state gelatin. Since gelatin is not vegetarian I am not sure what to think.

Yes, there are. Gelatin, cellulose, magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide. I assume the gelatin is part of the capsule. Most likely some of the ingredients are filler. I am taking this hoping it helps.

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.

PS, JB-- Thanks for answering! They should state these things in the description...this does make it vegan (as long as there's no gelatin...)

The capsules are vegetarian and enteric coated. There are trace amounts of dairy.

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.

the ingredient list is on their web page http://fruitablespetfood.com/fruitables_products.html .It does not contain gelatin and it has natural flavor( natural flavors can be pretty much anything)as an ingredient so not sure if vegan.

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

Hello Linda Our capsules are not made of gelatin at all. We are using base of a vegetable cellulose that in summary is vegan friendly. So you dont need to worry about that. Hope that helps!! Regards Susan Entrust Support

Yes, you are correct. Gelatin is animal derived. This product lists "kosher gelatin" as an ingredient, which I believe is used in making the soft gel. So, although the supplement itself may be all plant derived, the delivery is not. So not vegan or vegetarian as currently offered.

Ivory Caps and Vitamin C Brightening Plus are 100% vegetarian. There is no gelatin in the products or the capsules which are (veg-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.
