What kind of Gelatin is used in these capsules? Bovine or Porcine?

Hey Orianna - What I intended to 're-order' was the following brand: 'Nature's Elements' Activated Charcoal which does contain veggie caps. Not sure why I went with Nature's Way instead. I just now attempted to pull it up on Amazon's website and it looks like it's been deleted altogether by Amazon. I found a link where we can both purchase this product: http://www.homesteadmarket.com/product/221/brand_natural_elements?utm_medium=shoppingengine&utm;_source=googlebase&cvsfa;=2958&cvsfe;=2&cvsfhu;=323231&gclid;=CP_9m4_SrboCFdJj7AodcnAA5w

I did not know the answer to that, but reading the other answers, I guess I will always purchase the vegetarian type. Good to know. Thank you.

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! ;)

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

well,it help the boby in lot of ways,protein booster,skin health,digetion ,loose weight,drink purifier,it"s ok Gelatin is derived from collagen, an insoluble fibrous protein which is the principal constituent of connective tissues and bones. Cattle hides are the least used gelatin raw material in North America today. Ossein usually requires more liming than cattle hides. Porkskin is currently the most significant raw material source for production of edible gelatin in North America.

According to the website, the gelatin is from the bones of bovine not from the hooves or skin. You might want to go to their website and research for yourself.

Anytime any ingredient says Gelatin...it is always animal based. Look on Vitacost.com for Vegan vitamin E...I will be doing the same.

Gelatin. My sister uses them also and says it's the best one she ever used.

They are lanolin capsules which comes from sheep. The gelatin from the capsules are from a beef source according to another review. No pork products are used. I only know if it's kosher if it says so. Unfortunately I do not see Kosher being listed. I do swear by the higher dose of this product. I still have not had any colds or illness since I've been taking this.

Unfortunately not, on the ingredient list, it states there is bovine gelatin in them.

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.

These are veg caps with a gelatin covering with a dark colored powdery substance inside. I found them easy to swallow. (NOTE: This is an update to my previous answer where I was looking at the wrong bottle)

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

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

I can tell no difference between the veg gel capsules and the regular gel capsules. I did not want to consume the pork products that are in the regular gel capsules.
