Does anyone know what the "vegetable cellulose" in this capsule is made from? I can't reach the manufacturer, which doesn't inspire confidence...

Cellulose is put through a multi-step process to make many vegetable capsules. Read about it on Wikipedia. I feel slightly better about swallowing the vegetable cellulose than the polyvinyl capsules some companies use;) In the case of monolaurin I find it's easier, more coste effective and avoids ingestion of additives to just use the pellets and swallow with water.

It is extract from raw coconut. That extract does boost human immune body system. You can find more information on line.

No, the capsule is reported to be made of cellulose and water. No other ingredient is listed.

it doesn't mention gelatin as an ingredient-says capsules are plant cellulose

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.

The label states other ingredients as being plant-based but not the gelatin capsule. There is no mention on the bottle that the product is 100% vegetarian. So, it looks as if the capsules are probably gelatin derived from animal sources.

They are vegetarian capsules. Reading from the bottle, "microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable stearate".

The label says Vegetable Capsule (cellulose) it does not say if it is GMO free. Maybe you can contact the Manufacturer, Perfect Supplements, and see if they can tell you. Phone number on bottle 1-866-802-3860.

According to the ingredents on the labeling the only other ingredient is vegtable cellulose and that is the capsule itself.

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.

Does not say any of those are in the supplement. Does say vegetable cellulose but not sure if soy. Not a list of ingredients on bottle

This is the first I've heard of this about the capsule casings being made of pork byproduct. I am sure since you've read the ingredients you know that they would not send casings that was not vegeterian. If you have any more questions you could ask others about this. I have not had any problems with the product.

The capsule itself is made of vegetarian source, what's inside the capsule is what is not vegetarian. It is bile from ox/bovine origin.

Other Ingredients listed on my bottle: Gelatin. (This is derived from collagen obtained from various animal by-products.) In bold print, it states, Dairy, Soy, Egg & Gluten Free. There's nothing about vegetable cellulose. (This is the bottle with a purple stripe on the label.) It also states, Store in a cool dry place not to exceed 77 F. Nothing about refrigeration. (The manufacture date is 03/13.)
