Is the gelatin ingredient animal or plant based ?

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.

It does contain gelatin. So not strictly vegetarian, but all other ingredients are vegetable or mineral.

The label does not stipulate one way or the other, however gelatin is the first ingredient, which I believe is derived from animals.

My bottle does not list gelatin as an ingredient. The capsules appear to be made from vegetable cellulose.

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.

Hello Ross, We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. As the product information does not indicate that the gelatin used is vegetarian, we cannot guarantee that it is. I have forwarded this concern to the appropriate department for their further resolution. Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Best in health, Jessi V.

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.

Hello Linda Our capsules are not made of gelatin at all. We are using base of a vegetable cellulose that in summary is vegan friendly. So you dont need to worry about that. Hope that helps!! Regards Susan Entrust Support

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

Some capsules are made of gelatin, an animal product, which would be unacceptable to vegetarians/vegans. Apparently these capsules are made from plant materials only.

Yes it is gelatin. It is the bones, hides, ears etc. of the animal, which when brought to that state makes gelatin in its purest form.It really helps the joints. I drink it twice a day. No flavor I put it in pineapple juice which is an enzyme that helps break down the proteins..

I don't see gelatin listed as one of ingredients; other than sugar, vitamin d, calcium, phosphorous, and sodium as active ingredients, it contains the following: corn syrup, sucrose, tricalcium phosphate, water, sodium citrate, citric acid, pectin, maqui berry juice concentrate (color), artificial flavoring, cholecalciferol

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

There is gelatin in the capsules, and gelatin is made from animal bones so no, they are not vegan

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! ;)
