Is it vegetarian ??? Or the gelatin used is animal derived ??

The label or the 'othe ingredients' just says 'gelatin', and does not distinguish further. The glycerin is vegetarian. Also included in the 'other ingredients' is is yellow beeswax, and beeswax isn't vegetarian. If you are looking for a pure vegetarian formula, perhaps look elsewhere.

I am sorry but i don't know for sure. I emptied the bottle into another container and disposed of it.

I do not know about the gelatin. All I go by is that my ophthalmologist recommended we take 20 mg of Lutein per day in order for it to be therapeutic.

not being vegetarian, I never noticed. Have switched to Piping rock Lutein as it is more cost effective

In other words is this gelatin made of cattle or swine? Hi Orianna. It's probably made of 'both' as most gelatins are a combination of both cow and pig by-products (such as left over skin). I was gonna say that it's not such a big deal since it's really only a tiny amount but now that I've been asked to put it into words, yeah, not such a good thing. It's very easy to overlook such minute ingredients but overall it can (and often does) make a difference. It's apparent now that I must have been 'asleep' to have overlooked this factor. I will continue to purchase 'activated charcoal' but no longer from Nature's Way. We should always look for the 'Vegetarian Capsule' label before making a purchase. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! ;)

Yes, Smarty Pants' FAQ page specifies that they use porcine gelatin, but are working on a vegetarian version.

Hello, I am sorry I took so long to get back to you! In answer to your question, I was told the gelatin is made from animal derived product. Although it does not come from cattle, Nature Made products come primarily from pork sources. I hope that has been of some help! Linda

propolis is generated by bees. Therefore it is vegetarian. However, the gelatin capsule may be gelatin derived from animal bones. to be sure I'd check with Durhams Bee Farm directly.

Yes it is gelatin. It is the bones, hides, ears etc. of the animal, which when brought to that state makes gelatin in its purest form.It really helps the joints. I drink it twice a day. No flavor I put it in pineapple juice which is an enzyme that helps break down the proteins..

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.

I'm sorry but I don't know. It just says gelatin. I wouldn't know how to tell if it's vegan or not. Sorry.

Yes, this contains gelatin. I suspect the gelatin is from an animal source, as the glycerin content is listed as "vegetable glycerin". They also contain soy.

Probably you will have to contact the company. The label only says "gelatin" and does not say the source of it.

Capsule is made out of gelatin which is an animal product. I don't think it is vegan.

well,it help the boby in lot of ways,protein booster,skin health,digetion ,loose weight,drink purifier,it"s ok Gelatin is derived from collagen, an insoluble fibrous protein which is the principal constituent of connective tissues and bones. Cattle hides are the least used gelatin raw material in North America today. Ossein usually requires more liming than cattle hides. Porkskin is currently the most significant raw material source for production of edible gelatin in North America.

It is certainly vegetarian, but I'm not sure if it is vegan. It does not have milk, lactose, or eggs, so I think it probably is vegan. When I was vegan, I took this vitamin, because I couldn't find anything wrong with it. It is also free of gelatin.

I bought it because a wonderful book I have about digestive health said it was from grass fed animals. However, I checked the container and it does not say this anywhere on the can. It is the only gelatin that our health food store carries, so I assume it is the most natural around. Their website does not say "grass fed" either. Just looked.

It isn't written on the bottle. However, it does say that it is not for vegetarians. I would ask a pharmacist but I doubt it is from pork. Gelatine is usually produced from either beef, fish or vegetable. Hope this helps. Patricia

Some capsules are made of gelatin, an animal product, which would be unacceptable to vegetarians/vegans. Apparently these capsules are made from plant materials only.
