Currently it is porcine. However, they are soon coming out with both vegetarian and kosher versions. Log onto www.smartypantsvitamins.com and access the FAQ list. Your question is there and as well as the explanation of why. They offer to put you on their mailing list so that you would be advised when the other two versions are available. I love this product. Allergies aside (for you) it is the only vitamin supplement product of any kind that I have been able to tolerate in over 30 years. I am in my late 50's and have been using it for 3 years.

The label doesn't say if it is bovine or pork, but label does say that it has rice flour and magnesium sterate which is derived from vegetable. The label just mentions gelatine capsules and doesn't give specifics on what it is made of.

Just got off the phone with their consumer affairs. These do contain gelatin. The source is pork.

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

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.

The gelatin is not defined in the ingredient list. Since there isn't a kosher stamp on it, that would not rule out meat of any sort.

NO! Knox gelatin is made from the cartilage and bones of animals, and makes "Jello"-type desserts or broth-thickeners. Pectin is fruit-derived and is what makes jam or jellies gel.

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! ;)

No, it does not contain gelatin, it contains vegetable cellulose (Veggie caps)

Yes. Zerachin (Japanese for gelatin) is listed in the photo of ingredients.

I haven't seen anything on the bottle about gelatin, BUT after a quick Google search, I see many entries that include gelatin in the ingredients list. Hope this helps :)

I suspect you mean gelatin which is a collagen product derived from animal byproducts.

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."

I do not know the answer to this question. But I am assuming it is regular gelatin. I will say this much for the product though. I tried Heather's product, and I know that this one is much more powerful and works better. Gelatin or no gelatin, it is worth the try.

There's nothing on the bottle regarding where the gelatin is derived from. Try www.naturewise.com. I've found them to be very helpful with questions I've had.
