Well, at least now you know.Mohammad, I recommend that you google "kosher fish oil" and see what results you get. I myself LUUUUV eBay, as I can order stuff with free shipping and always at a Buy It Now price....(& in most cases, there's also no tax, as it's most often shipped from out of state). Good luck!Assalamu Alaykum!

I recommend that you call the 'nutrition questions' # shown on the bottle to ask that question:It is 1-800-433-2990, available Mon - Sat 9AM - 7PM ET(It supposedly is 100% fish oil, but as far as I know, it is not certified as kosher. Please call and ask them.)

Doubtful that these are kosher. Collagen casings are derived from protien from either beef or pork. These are not certified kosher.

It doesn't say kosher so i am sure it is every animals bones including pig. :-/

I don't know about being kosher - all I know is that this is the worst probiotic I've ever tried - it makes your tummy hurt and makes you gassy. Usually, it's the opposite - it helps with stomach ailments, not cause them!! Plus this company is a fraud, try calling them, even the number on the bottle is wrong!

Neither states that this vegetarian nor Kosher. It is however gluten-free. I am vegetarian and have used it as ingredients seem quite safe.

The first line of description about these casings says: "Edible collagen casings made of beef protein." Not sure if they are Kosher certified as to my knowledge the concept of Kosher and Halal goes beyond just the origin of an edible item and neither it was mentioned on the packaging. If, on the other hand, by Kosher you mean they are not pork protein based, then yes! They are beef protein based.

It is Bovine Gelatin-i called them & obviously it is non-zabeeha (for muslims) so Not halal.

Unless stated otherwise all gelatin is animal derived. This product does contain gelatin derived from animal.

Hi Ahmad, though I'm not affiliated with the company and can't give you a 100% answer, I do believe you are correct in that most gelatin is derived from pork as well as bovine. Almost half of all gelatin comes from pork by products, however. So, chances are pretty high that is the case with these capsules, as well.

The bottle does not say it has gelatin in it as I would not have purchase it if it had. I was looking for a veggie capsule because I try to keep kosher. Others might be vegetarians. Gelatin often comes from a pig rather than a cow. I had looked all over in all the drug stores I had access to before I found this one on-line. To be exact, the bottle says (mine does) it contains: "Vitamin D 3 50,000 units, Other Ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable capsule. (Kosher and Halal certified). Contains no Dairy, egg, fish, shellfish, nuts, wheat, gluten, soy, sugar, yeast or artificial colors.' You have to be looking at something else; or, they've changed the product since I bought mine, but the bottle looks the same. The best you should do is contact the manufacturer. But, again, there is no word at all about "Gelatin" on my bottle. I just looked at the enlarged type on the bottle above and am concerned you've written an untruth about this product I looked all over for. There isn't a word about its having "Gelatin" in it and you should apologize. What I quoted is exactly what appears on the bottle pictured above. I wrote that before I checked to see what the bottle above says wondering how I could have missed that after searching for a couple of years for a kosher version.

No, the gelatin is only from cows. The product description has been updated.

I believe that gelatin is not kosher. You could always open the capsules and add the powder to applesauce or juice or milk, though.

From the product page on the NutriGold website: Is the Gelatin used to encapsulate the product Kosher / Halal?While the Gelatin used to encapsulate CoQ10 Gold™ is certified Kosher / Halal, the product itself is NOT certified Kosher.

It's lab generated, in sterile environments. I don't know how they gain the protein though. Here's my question: Why do you eat kosher meat only? Isn't it because of nutritional value, and smaller toxicity? Protein shakes are most nutritional, and have a way lower toxicity than any meat out there; even if they would derive the proteins from pig meat. However I do not believe they get their proteins from real meat. So my answer would answer your question only halfway. If you're concerned about toxicity and nutrition, I'd say it's Kosher. But if you want to be absolutely sure; to trace back how they get their protein (protein is protein, whether or not it comes from cow, horse, or pig meat, egg white, or soy), you'd have to contact the manufacturer. More then not they'd say their protein is gotten from Whey (cow milk)

I don't know ... even though it says "Kosher Certified" in the Amazon description there is no such statement on the bottle. Sorry.

Bovine Gelatin means it comes from cows. Most gelatin that is used in pills/supplements on the market seems to come from pork. I try, where possible, to buy from companies that use a vegetarian capsule instead of the typical pork and beef formulations.

Sorry I am not sure what you mean. I didn't see anything in the container that shows Kosher certified.
