Question:

I want to know what the shell of the fish oil capsule is made from. I’m allergic to pork and beef.

Answer:
The shell of the fish oil (Omega-3) capsule is made from fish gelatin. No pork or beef has been processed in the capsules! The product is completely extracted from fish, and therefore suitable for people who are allergic (like you), and for vegetarians who eat fish and for people who because of their faith seek a fish oil that is halal or kosher.

By the way, this does not apply to the glucosamine, chondroitin and Arthro-5 capsules, which are all extracted from ordinary gelatin. Besides, the capsules can easily be opened so the powder can be taken with water, yogurt or fruit juice.
