Natrol, the global leader in the dietary supplement industry, has re-confirmed that its gelatin capsules indeed contain pork and beef gelatin. Based on a story, which appeared in Gulf News a few days back, I had sent a mail to Peter Gil, Natrol’s International Sales Director, and this is what he had to say:

Thank you for your inquiry. To avoid the combination of pharmaceutical grade 2 piece gelatin capsules offered in some nutritional supplements which may be of bovine/porcine origin, we recommend that you use nutritional supplements that are available in tablet form or products whose labels specifically specify vegetarian capsules.
