I read that the product in the capsules were vegetarian, but what type of gelatin is the capsule made from? Sometimes the capsule casings are made from pork byproduct. How much caffeine is in each cap? What is Caffeine Anhydrous?

This is the first I've heard of this about the capsule casings being made of pork byproduct. I am sure since you've read the ingredients you know that they would not send casings that was not vegeterian. If you have any more questions you could ask others about this. I have not had any problems with the product.

Good question. I do not know. I send the capsules back to Illy for recycling. Coffee is really good.

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

It's not vegan, the capsule is gelatin. They do sell a vegetarian version, but instead of gelatin it's made of carrageenan (+ other ingredients).

The only possible form they could have wheat in this product is in the vegetable coating. So I looked this up and found this information "Vegetable capsules consist of only two ingredients: HPMC and purified water.HPMC -- Hydroxypropylmethylcellulose -- is derived from vegetable cellulose. 100% natural, these capsules contain no preservatives, gelatin, wheat, animal by-products or starch, and they are made from pure cellulose of either pine or poplar."Hope this helps

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.

All capsules are made of gelatin. It is not an ingredient of the contents. What effect does it have?, I have no idea. I would guess little to none.

The capsule itself is made of vegetarian source, what's inside the capsule is what is not vegetarian. It is bile from ox/bovine origin.

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.

Hi. This has gelatin capsules instead of vegetable capsules. Gelatin is a popular alternative to veg caps both in the pharmaceutical and herbal supplements markets. The latter is a nice alternative for strict vegetarians.

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.

Label doesnt state whether the gelatin capsule is of a vegetarian origin however if you have doubts, open the capsule and drain the ginseng into a cup with a little hot water and drink with a little sweetener. The ginseng is of good quality and I use 2-3 caps prior to a gym visit sometimes and it definitely makes workouts more enduring with less forced effort.

Far as I know, gelatin is an animal product. Googling it, I could be wrong. I don't have the bottle anymore.... sorry.
