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

If you read the bottle, it does state that it contains Gelatin. This is because of the capsule.

According to the label, the vegetable capsule is made from hypromellose and water; According to Wikipedia, that is different then phthalates. It is listed as an alternative to animal gelatins, and used for controlled delivery in oral medications. Other ingredients-magnesium stearate. Main ingredients: Jerusalem artichoke and Serrapeptase.

It does not indicated what kind of gelatins. I'm assuming is coming from pork or some animal but I don't like guessing. I will contact them.

"Other ingredients: Vegetable capsule (HPMC [cellulose], water), and magnesium stearate (vegetable source)"

I'm going to chime in, because there seems to be some confusion? It is very likely, this product contains animal products, as gelatin--is typically--made from animal (bovine) bone and marrow. HTH.

There are non-animal capsules, but these are typically marked "vegetarian capsule" or "Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose" or maybe the inconsistent "vegetarian gelatin". Anything like this that just says "gelatin" is almost certainly animal-based.

Lori, the label states: Other ingredients - Cellulose, silicon dioxide and magnesium stearate (vegetable source). Capsule consist of gelatin. No wheat, no gluten, no soybeans, no dairy, no egg, no fish/shellfish, no peanuts/tree nuts. Hope this helps, there is also a website to go to at www.jarrow.com, maybe that would answer any questions.

I looked on my bottle and I see Gelatin listed under other ingredients, so the best I can do is say I am guessing it is a gelatin capsule. I hope that helps you.

It is probably the capsule itself that is made from gelatin. If you have vegan concerns you may consider emptying the pills into a shot glass with a splash of water and drinking them. Just give the pill a gentle squeeze at both ends and a bit of a twist and pull and they will come apart easily.

I don't know what kind of gelatin, but it also contains arachis oil which is a peanut oil. I found that the capsule does not always dissolve, so it never gets to your intestines. I will not purchase this brand again.

Hellos Amanda, the product was originally manufactured as vegan, but has since changed to a gelatin capsule. We have updated our description and photos to reflect the latest information.

Yes Jon, it is a plant product. the label states that the other ingredients are non GMO rice bran and Rosemary extract. The capsule is gelatin, not sure from what source? Might want to contact the company... Pure Body Nutra. It doesn't say on the label that it is 'vegetarian.'

Hello. Thank you very much for your question and sorry for the delayed response. The capsule itself is made with gelatin, which is an animal byproduct. Please let us know if we can answer any other questions for you. Best Regards, Innovex Nutrition

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! ;)

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.

Hi there! Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, this product is not certified vegan or vegetarian. The ingredients in this product are as follows:Iron (naturally occurring), L-Tryptophan. Other ingredients: gelatin (capsule), dibasic calcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, and magnesium stearate.It is possible that the gelatin used to make the capsule is derived from animal sources. For more information, our best suggestion would be to contact Source Naturals directly. We hope this helps! ~Juliana
