Gelatin is a protein derived from hydrolized animal collagen. Vegetarian and vegan products substitute gelling agents such as agar, nature gum, carrageenan and pectin sometimes referred to as "vegetable gelatins" although there is no chemical relationship; they are carbohydrates, not proteins. The name "gelatin" is colloquially applied to all types of gels and jellies; but properly used, it refers solely to the animal protein product. There is no vegetable source for gelatin.

The amount contained in a vitamin capsule is very small. It shouldn't be a problem.
