I saw this locally and it says there is gelatin in the capsules. Gelatin is usually from pigs. Is this a diff formula?

Plus... since this particular brand of Mastic Gum by Jarrows' is not sold here locally I always purchase mine here @ Amazon ... but as I stated in my previous post, this product has really helped me. After taking this product two to three weeks I felt so much better! I hope this helps you! Happy Holidays! http://www.amazon.com/Jarrow-Formulas-Mastic-Personal-Healthcare/dp/B00EXPYP5E/ref=sr_1_4?s=hpc&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1386639983&sr;=1-4&keywords;=jarrows+mastic+gum

Sorry Carrie, I can't answer your question. I stopped taking it. Gelatin is usually made from animal bones as far as I understand. I know some vitamin companies advertise 'gelatin free' and use some kind of cellulose. My guess would be that there IS gelatin, but I can't say for sure. I can say the product worked well. I did a quick search and it looks like they do have gelatin, but I'd call the company if that's a deal breaker. Hope this helped. :)

I contacted Jarrow and they stated that this Gelatin formula is made from the bones of bovines (beef).

I dunno, but the capsule is pliable and gel-like....do they use gelatin for that?

I looked on my bottle. It just says gelatin, doesn't mention pork. The allergen warning is for soy. So I can't say for sure.

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.

No pork written in the ingredients, just "Gelatin" and it might be from Pig source or from other source!

"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

Well, the ingredient is 100% gelatin, but I suspect you don't actually want the ingredients, you want to know what the gelatin is made from. It's pig and beef skin, as well as bones and connective tissue of those and other animals, like chicken and fish. The collagen is rendered from animal parts, and turned into gelatin via hydrolysis.

I can find nothing on the label that says anything about the gelatin digesting units. I do know that the supplement is encapsulated in an all gelatin capsule, so I would guess it to mean the capsule completely dissolves when swallowed.

My bottle says both "veg capsules" and "gelatin" in the list of ingredients, so I am also confused.

The ingredients list includes gelatin. Gelatin, is a substance derived from the processing of animal collagen. There is also a warning label to do not take if you have a medical condition..

The only ingredient is gelatin. Gelatin is a powder derived from animal source, and is a protein.

The product label, which can be viewed at the URL link given, states that gelatin is used. The amount is not stated, but I would guess that it is much less than what is in the two gelatin capsules that I routinely take daily.

One of the ingredients listed on the container says gelatin although it does not specify what the capsule is made. All other ingredients are organic and this is one of the best EFAs I have tried. Works for me.

I FOUND THE ANSWER AT THE MANUFACTURER'S WEBSITE, WWW.NOWFOODS.COM. IT SAYS :Where do you obtain the gelatin used in your hard gelatin caps?The gelatin used in our gelatin capsules is obtained through the processing of collagen derived from the skin, white connective tissues and bones of beef and pork. Softgel capsules are typically derived from beef gelatin as well. For vegetarian and vegans we also offer certain products in vegetable caps, which are made from plant cellulose or polysaccharides.

The bottle only specifies "gelatin", not what it is derived from. There's a number to call for nutrition questions: 800-433-2990

There is gelatin in the capsules, and gelatin is made from animal bones so no, they are not vegan

Label contains no information regarding source of gelatin. I suggest contacting the manufacturer directly to answer your questions.
