Haven't had Nature's Made Calcium for some time and cannot answer the question. Good luck

Sorry, I don't know. I would suggest writing to/calling Nature's Bounty and asking them.

I bought it because a wonderful book I have about digestive health said it was from grass fed animals. However, I checked the container and it does not say this anywhere on the can. It is the only gelatin that our health food store carries, so I assume it is the most natural around. Their website does not say "grass fed" either. Just looked.

I have searched my bottle's product label and they do not list the source of the collagen. I'm afraid that the product is not vegetarian friendly, which I'm concluding because the capsules are made of animal gelatin.. Sad for me too, since I am indeed a vegetarian.... I hope this helps...

It doesn't say. It just says gelatin on the bottle. If you would like I can give you their customer service number if you want to call them.

I use the tablet form, therefore I don't know what the source of the gelatin use in the capsules.

Label says: Other ingredients: Gelatin, may contain one or more of the following: microcrystalline cellulose (plant fiber), magnesium stearate, silica.

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..

Gelatin and glycerin according to the label. I really like this one from "number One Nutrition".

We use Kosher Certified gelatin derived from bovine raw materials. Thank You

Yes, this contains gelatin. I suspect the gelatin is from an animal source, as the glycerin content is listed as "vegetable glycerin". They also contain soy.

The ingredients only show "gelatin", so you will have to contact Nature's Bounty for your answer.

Healthy gelatin (not the stuff found in jello brand jello) helps keep your joints strong. It's good for children's growing bodies. Gelatin from grass fed cows is supposedly the best. I make gummies and various juice/fruit gelatins for my children to get them to eat it. Now since my kids are grown I make my own supplements with it. They are yummy and free from fillers.

Gelatin (or gelatine, from Latin: gelatus = stiff, frozen) is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), flavorless solid substance, derived from collagen obtained from various animal by-products. It is commonly used as a gelling agent in food, pharmaceuticals, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing. Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called gelatinous. Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolysed form of collagen, and is classified as a foodstuff. It is found in most gummy candies as well as other products such as marshmallows, gelatin dessert, and some ice cream, dip and yogurt. Household gelatin comes in the form of sheets, granules, or powder. Instant types can be added to the food as they are; others need to be soaked in water beforehand. Pectin (from Ancient Greek: &#960;&#951;&#954;&#964;&#953;&#954;&#972;&#962; p&#275;ktiks, "congealed, curdled"[1]) is a structural heteropolysaccharide contained in the primary cell walls of terrestrial plants. It was first isolated and described in 1825 by Henri Braconnot.[2] It is produced commercially as a white to light brown powder, mainly extracted from citrus fruits, and is used in food as a gelling agent particularly in jams and jellies. It is also used in fillings, medicines, sweets, as a stabilizer in fruit juices and milk drinks, and as a source of dietary fiber.

Good luck on that question. The last thing you want is bovine sourced gelatin. Due to customer demand vegetarian gelatin is becoming more available. Wake up companies! NOBODY wants potential "mad cow" in their supplements

Gelatin is a mixture of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and fish. During hydrolysis, the natural molecular bonds between individual collagen strands are broken down into a form that rearranges more easily. Its chemical composition is, in many respects, closely similar to that of its parent collagen.[1] Photographic and pharmaceutical grades of gelatin are generally sourced from beef bones. Gelatin forms a viscous solution when dissolved in hot water, which sets to a gel on cooling. Gelatin added directly to cold water does not dissolve well. Gelatin is also soluble in most polar solvents. Gelatin solutions show viscoelastic flow and streaming birefringence. The solubility of the gelatin is determined by the method of manufacture. Typically, gelatin can be dispersed in a relatively concentrated acid. Such dispersions are stable for 10C15 days with little or no chemical changes and are suitable for coating purposes or for extrusion into a precipitating bath.[citation needed] The mechanical properties of gelatin gels are very sensitive to temperature variations, the previous thermal history of the gel, and time. These gels exist over only a small temperature range, the upper limit being the melting point of the gel, which depends on gelatin grade and concentration (but is typically less than 35 C) and the lower limit the freezing point at which ice crystallizes. The upper melting point is below human body temperature, a factor which is important for mouthfeel of foods produced with gelatin.[2] The viscosity of the gelatin/water mixture is greatest when the gelatin concentration is high and the mixture is kept cool ( 4 C). The gel strength is quantified using the Bloom test.

Bovine Gelatin means it comes from cows. Most gelatin that is used in pills/supplements on the market seems to come from pork. I try, where possible, to buy from companies that use a vegetarian capsule instead of the typical pork and beef formulations.
