Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Hi Gary, I notice you mentioned vegetable based gelatin in your questionnaire answers. How do you know if it is vegetable based rather than animal based? I have trouble finding some vitamins for my boys that are not made with gelatin. Specifically, omega-3 that are non fish based...I found one that said it was vegetarian omega-3 but it had gelatin in the cap. Anyway, my boys probably get more than enough omega-3 but my Dr. keeps encouraging it since my eldest has trouble focussing. I think it's a 6-year old trait as opposed to a deficiency. Sorry, I rambled...my question: How to tell if something is vegetable gelatin. Thanks, Paula Quote
Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Hi, Assuming they are telling the truth, it says so on the bottle -> vegetable based gelatin capsules or something to that effect. Solgar and Whole Foods vitamins both note that on the bottle.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2009 Report Posted July 30, 2009 Ok, I've never seen that. I'm not near a Whole Foods but will check when I'm at a health food store (my usual HFS doesn't carry them). Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Posted July 31, 2009 It's available in healthfood stores, too. I was going to get some today, but it was too pricey for me, over $8.00 for about 2 or 3 ounces.
