The Issue of Gelatin Capsules /
 

Collagen taken from animal bones is submitted to temperatures ranging from 4000 to 5000 degrees Fahrenheit during the extraction process. Following this process, the gelatin is formed into thin sheets which are eventually converted into capsules. There is no way that any infective agent, regardless of its nature, could survive when exposed to such high temperatures.

The hype surrounding gelatin capsules has forced the manufacturers to resort to a more expensive venue, that of vegetable capsules. They did this because consumers would not ingest any products manufactured in the United Sates containing animal gelatin.

Currently, manufacturers are trying to educate the public while they continue to provide both options for consumers.

You should note that the vegetable option has raised the price of products.

Before you make a decision, please explore all the facts. As I always said in my radio broadcast, "Knowledge is Power"
