Hi - it is gelatin, which is from animal sources. I'm pretty unhappy about this, as I'd like the caps to be vegan. Right now, this isn't physically possible, as there are no vegan gelatins that can withstand oil encapsulation with an enteric coating. There are several manufacturers working on vegan gelatins that could be used in soft gels, and hopefully in enteric coated soft gels as well, but they've been trying for several years so far unsuccessfully. The moment this becomes an option, we'll switch over.
Best,
Heather
