is this product from grass fed beef?

Honestly, grassed does not matter for gelatin. You want grass fed beef for the better fats; but gelatin is fat-free.

The package does not indicate if it comes from grass fed beef. The ingredient just says "Pure Beef Gelatin". I would suggest emailing the producer NOW Real Food.

I'm sure if it WAS grass fed, they would say so since they can get more money for grass fed.

It does matter if its grass fed or not - if not, then this means most likely the cattle were fed soy and or corn, which in the U.S. is about 90% chance of being genetically modified if not organic. GMO food fed to the cattle means we are getting GMO in our diet. So if this matters to you, I wouldn't go with it.

Hi, nowhere on the packaging I could find any info on that. You can ask them directly via http://www.nowfoods.com/AboutUs/Contact-Us/As for the quality - it's superb!

I contacted the company and it is NOT from grassfed cows. (And for at least some of us it DOES matter whether gelatin is from grassfed cattle, whether we view it as a personal health issue or an ethical one.)

As I have used this product for a few years now, and I have never loked before I had to pull the last package out to see and still I really do not know the answer to this question. The package does not say. The ingredients list only says 100% pure beef gelatin and that it contains NO sugar,salt, starch, yeast, wheat gluten, corn, soy, milk, egg, shellfish or preservatives.

Made from beef, no pork. Does not say it is grass feed as is another brand on Amazon.

I'm not sure since I haven't tied, "regular gelatin obtained from grass fed cows". If you sell the product I'll try it out. I like what collagen does for me.

Since there is no mention of organic anywhere on the packaging, I would assume that the answer is that it is not organic. The packaging and advertising also do not mention anything about the cows being grass fed.

The protein in this shake is made from Grass Fed Beef from New Zealand. Not sure if it is organic.

It does contain pork and beef. I called them and they said anything that contain Chondroitin Sulfate means it has pork and beef.

Looking again at their website they seem to have grass fed which is labeled grass fed and some that is not so I would make sure it is labeled grass fed...

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.

I called them and they said it was from grass feed beef. The woman I spoke with said they had not updated their packaging to reflect this as of yet.

THIS IS NOT GRASS FED BEEF JERKY! Organic means they're feeding them grain(aka corn) and aren't giving them hormones or antibiotics. It's a step in the right direction, but these are not cows that are treated well and allowed to graze on grass. Otherwise it would say grassfed beef.

I dont have a firm answer but If it was 100% grass fed, they would make it really clear on the label. Looks like it might be from cows that are pasture fed some few hours a week or something vague. Usually, when a label is vague, there is a reason. If it is USA sourced and grass fed, it would likely say organic. So, there seems to be some reason why its not organic. I would like to know as well.

Yes. It's only pure beef. My dog is on 5 Rx meds and Rx dog food so I'm very vigilant about what he eats. This product may seem pricey but when I costed it out at PetSmart with other "quality dog treats" it comes out less expensive and no added ingredients. Hope this helps.

my container says soy free grass fed cows, reading down under the 20 grams of protein. I did not buy it from Amazon

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!

Yes, it's one of the few products for Whey protein that is organic and that comes from Grass-Fed cows. I use to buy it from Whole Foods, but it is a bit less expensive here, and they deliver it fast and well-packaged.

The only ingredient in this is 100% Grass-Fed Beef Livers, desiccated. That's it - no fillers and nothing synthetic. All the B12 is naturally occurring. I hope this helps, Kerrie Peaceful Planet
