it doesn't specifically say on the bottle. it does say no gluten, yeast, wheat, milk , lactose, sugar, soy, sodium, and no artificial flavors or ingredients. there is a number you can call for questions or comments. it is: 866-251-1662.

sorry I have no idea. I checked through Google for a quality fish oil and this one came upon top. Can be found at WalMart as well. I chose Amazon Prime

Most commercially available fish oils are derived from coldwater fish, primarily menhaden, but also salmon and trout. These oils are rich in the Omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

I don't know what kind of Gelatin they use. I use the oil as supplement to my Yorkie's food. I puncture the capsule and put the oil directly on their food and toss the capsule away..

Gelatin is animal based. A friend of mine is a vegetarian and won't eat anything with gelatin in it. I believe it is from animal hooves.

It's gelatin. You can use it for cooking, give it to dogs for joint issues, or take it yourself for hair, nails, skin, and joint support.

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.

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 gelatin that is used to manufacture capsules and softgels (and Jell-O brand gelatin) is derived from beef cattle. Gelatin is an animal-source protein but it is not a complete protein. It is missing several essential amino acids, including methionine and lysine. "Vegetarian" capsules are made of water-soluble cellulose, which is a dietary fiber that is derived from plants.

Yes, the capsules are made of gelatin. Gelatin is derived from animals. Vegetarian capsules are made of cellulose.

They don't use gelatin anymore. Two month supply is only $89 verses 109 on amazon. Got mine here http://tinyurl.com/qeo28vd and I get to add on my child in the free children's monthly chewable program. Plus I know the product is most fresh ordering from Juice Plus verses a third party. My rep told me it's not a single trace of herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, bacteria, mold, heavy metals, non GMO and kosher.

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.

It's bovine gelatin basically it comes from cattle , cow tendons and tissue

It has Gelatin in it which usually means Cow/beef by-product but I cannot be sure. Hope you get better answers elsewhere.

I have searched my bottle's product label and they do not list the source of the collagen. I'm afraid that the product is not vegetarian friendly, which I'm concluding because the capsules are made of animal gelatin.. Sad for me too, since I am indeed a vegetarian.... I hope this helps...

Here is what I received from Nordic Naturals: Dear Customer, We use bovine unless the product says "Fish Gelatin" in the title then we use fish. Regards, Customer Service | Omega-Direct Email: customerservice@omega-direct.com Web: www.Omega-Direct.com Phone: 1.800.595.2714

They supposedly are Kosher. Gelatin is made from bones and skin of animals, usually cows. In order to be sure you might want to ask the manufacturer directly.

I didn't mean to just answer yes. I was on my phone when I clicked that. Gelatin is derived from the collagen of animals. That could be cow or pig. Or other animals. Unless it details where they got the gelatin from no one can correctly answer yes or no because we do not know the source of their gelatin.
