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.

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

Yes. Gelatin is exclusively an animal product. It is made from boiling down the bones and connective tissue of animals (usually cows, pigs or fish) and drying it into a powder. All gelatin capsules are animal derived. If you are avoiding animal products, you'll need to find "cellulose capsules".

I'd have to say bovine, it isn't written on the bottle it just says gelatin. Pork gelatin soinds gross anyways lol

According to Amazon's Askville website, most -- but not all -- gelatin is made from pork. (http://askville.amazon.com/source-gelatin-pork/AnswerViewer.do?requestId=438969). You would have to contact the product manufacturer to ask about the source of their gelatin.

Gelatin is an animal by-product. Whether it's derived from pigs or cows specifically is not known.

Anything that is gelatin coated is primarily animal not always vegetable sources and It's goal is to create flavor. To answer your question it does contain animal sources.

No. It is a powdered root. Gelatinizing is done by a heating process. No gelatin pork products involved.

Sorry, I studied the entire bottle and it only lists "Gelatin" under "Other Ingredients", and no further breakdown. The other extra ingredient is "Vegetable Glycerin". There is a phone number on the bottle to call with any further questions, which is 1-800-433-2990.

I emailed the company and got a response from Matt, who stated in his email: "We only use bovine (beef) gelatin in our softgels. We do not use porcine (pork) gelatin in any of our products."

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! ;)

The container doesn't say grass fed or grass finished. It only says 100% gelatin from beef no pork.

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.

No, the product is 100% gelatin. I use it for thickening pudding when I make it. I can't drink milk anymore, and vanilla soy milk instead. Since there is no fat in soy milk, the pudding doesn't set properly, so I learned to add Knox gelatin. I also learned that I had to heat the mix in the microwave for a short time to activate the gelatin. This is probably much more than you wanted to know, but I hope I helped you.Steve Lower
