Are gelatin capsules suitable for vegetarians?

Gelatin is a protein derived from animal collagen, typically from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals like cows, pigs, or horses.

Vegetarians follow a diet that excludes all animal products, including gelatin.

Alternatives to Gelatin Capsules for Vegetarians:

* HPMC (Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose) Capsules: These are plant-based capsules made from cellulose, a natural polymer found in plants.

* Pullulan Capsules: These are made from a polysaccharide produced by the yeast *Aureobasidium pullulans*.

* Other Plant-Based Capsules: There are also capsules made from various other plant-based materials, such as starch, alginate, and pectin.

When choosing supplements, always check the ingredients list to ensure they are suitable for your dietary needs.
