NOTE NEW FORMULA - not listed on Amazon - yet: Gelcap is now bovine gelatin instead of fish sourced and they added sorbitol and vanillin -- this is supposed to be temporary. Hopefully it will be and the formula will get back to "normal".

I just learned this when the product arrived. I have to avoid red meat and anything made from mammals--I have red meat allergy which can get pretty serious in some people--anaphylaxis is fairly common. I spent a long time shopping for a krill oil that didn't contain mammal gelatin, and was happy to find this one with fish gelatin capsules. But now it has several new ingredients, including bovine gelatin, sorbitol, vanillin (I think this is artificial, not the real thing) and vegetable glycerin. I don't want any of them and can't use the product. Amazon or the seller have failed to update the ingredients. If I had seen your comment, I would not have ordered this. But the comment is near the bottom of the page. Thanks for posting it, but it should be at the top! Edit: I went through the process to return the product, since I can't use it. The return policy requires that I pay return postage, but I also sent a message to the seller, Buyherbs, and they answered immediately. They were great, gave me a full refund. I give the seller five stars for excellent customer service. And I hope that my note reminds them to update this listing, including ingredients for the current formula. This is probably a very good formula, but with bovine gelatin, I can't use it.

Yes, the capsule is gelatin. When I purchased them, it said they were vegan so I didn't bother to check. After 3 bottles, I noticed the gelatin and was furious since I'm vegan. My bad for trusting! I contacted the company and they were very apologetic, sent me a 32 oz bottle of MCT oil, and promised to look into getting v-caps.

Go to the Nature Made website as it will show all the ingredients for each and every product this company makes. I finished my bottle- so I don't have it-and now use Nature's Way and it has gelatin. You may want to Google "gelatin free Vitamin D3 softgels" and maybe you can find exactly what you want. Hope this helps you find a gelatin free product.

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.

Hi, I don't know. I have not yet run across gelatin from grass fed cattle. Thanks for bringing up the question.

The label that's shown in the Amazon pics clearly says, "Gelatin" which means it's NOT vegetarian. I hate how little accurate information is available on Amazon for supplements. I've spent HOURS trying to find a vegan D3 supplement that doesn't have crap in it. Still searching.

Thanks so much to people who have revealed the fact that there is GELATIN in this supplement, which the manufacturer has clearly tried to conceal in their description. The description on the Amazon website is SO complete except for this one insignificant ( <---sarcasm) fact.

Label contains no information regarding source of gelatin. I suggest contacting the manufacturer directly to answer your questions.

I like this product but can't afford it. I think the title "new formula" doesn't mean it is new. You need to read the ingredients and compare. I was buying this product for more than a year and really liked it. You can call the company and they are very good about answering questions. Good luck.

Sorry it took so long to answer. My last bottle smelled fishy but I also noticed the gelatin tablet was thinner and maybe dissolves quicker in the stomach. I open the bottle and let it air out a minute before taking the tablets and it works fine.

the companies website hasnt been updated and this is not the original formula, i have emailed them 6 times without an answer, i suspect they are trying to pass off inferior placebo stuff. they used to be the game but i think they know they cant the good stuff anymore.

Over the last 5 or 6 years I had glyconutrients compounded for me at a local pharmacy with my doctors prescription. My insurance quit paying for it so I bought the Mannatech New Generation and it tastes different than what I had compounded. The doctor who invented this nutrient quit working for Mannatech and went on his own. Google "Wellness Quest". it tastes different also and is a tad more expensive. Amazon may even carry it.

Yes, I had the same experience. I was a little worried when I ordered it and it said fish protein but when it arrived it was the Bison/Venison, same as I had been feeding. I think I saved almost $10 by ordering through Amazon.

The photographs in Amazon's listing are outdated. The ingredients in the capsules have changed, and so has the label. There is no provision here to attach photos, so I will have to describe the new label, and the new list of ingredients. The capsules now contain NO gelatin. On the new label, the ingredients are listed as follows: "Vitamin C (2mg), Vitamin K2 (100 mcg)(as Menaquinone-7)(MK-7)(from Non-GMO Natto); Other Ingredients: Rice Flour, Cellulose (capsule) and Silica. Contains soy. Not manufactured with wheat, gluten, milk, egg, fish, shellfish, or tree nut ingredients." Certified Kosher. The front of the label reads: "NOW Vitamin K-2; Supports Bone Health; 100 mcg; From Non-GMO Natto; Promotes Arterial Health; 60 Veg Capsules; A Dietary Supplement; Vegetarian/Vegan; GMP Quality Assured". As you can see from the ingredients and the "Vegetarian/Vegan" specifications on the label, NOW MK-7 capsules now contain no gelatin. Amazon really should change the photos associated with this product. I have updated photos and have sent feedback on the current images, along with an offer to provide updated photos of the product's new label.

The recently changed the formula and the packaging. It now has the ingredients you listed and is not on the old label. The taste is the same as the old formula. Hope this helped.
