What is the difference between BOVINE &amp; BEEF gelatin powder? Thanks

Bovine is the name for the biological subfamily that domestic cattle (a.k.a., cow) belong to, while beef is the culinary name for cow meat.

We are happy to help! As stated on the NOW Foods website, "The gelatin used in our gelatin capsules is obtained through the processing of collagen derived from the skin, white connective tissues and bones of beef and pork". We hope this information is helpful!

Pure beef gelatin is the only ingredient listed on the package. Here is the NOW site to check further http://www.nowfoods.com

Gelatin is a mixture of peptides and proteins produced by partial hydrolysis of collagen extracted from the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals such as domesticated cattle, chicken, pigs, and fish. During hydrolysis, the natural molecular bonds between individual collagen strands are broken down into a form that rearranges more easily. Its chemical composition is, in many respects, closely similar to that of its parent collagen.[1] Photographic and pharmaceutical grades of gelatin are generally sourced from beef bones. Gelatin forms a viscous solution when dissolved in hot water, which sets to a gel on cooling. Gelatin added directly to cold water does not dissolve well. Gelatin is also soluble in most polar solvents. Gelatin solutions show viscoelastic flow and streaming birefringence. The solubility of the gelatin is determined by the method of manufacture. Typically, gelatin can be dispersed in a relatively concentrated acid. Such dispersions are stable for 10C15 days with little or no chemical changes and are suitable for coating purposes or for extrusion into a precipitating bath.[citation needed] The mechanical properties of gelatin gels are very sensitive to temperature variations, the previous thermal history of the gel, and time. These gels exist over only a small temperature range, the upper limit being the melting point of the gel, which depends on gelatin grade and concentration (but is typically less than 35 C) and the lower limit the freezing point at which ice crystallizes. The upper melting point is below human body temperature, a factor which is important for mouthfeel of foods produced with gelatin.[2] The viscosity of the gelatin/water mixture is greatest when the gelatin concentration is high and the mixture is kept cool ( 4 C). The gel strength is quantified using the Bloom test.

There's nothing on the bottle regarding where the gelatin is derived from. Try www.naturewise.com. I've found them to be very helpful with questions I've had.

Are you wondering about the gelatin that the capsule is made of? Gelatin is derived from animals usually cows or pigs . In the information leaflet of Colpermin capsules it does not specify if the gelatin used in the manufacturing of the shell of Colpermin capsules is from a cow or a pig. I hope this answers your question.

Gelatin is a yellowish, odorless, and nearly tasteless substance that is made by prolonged boiling of skin, cartilage, and bones from animals. It's made primarily from the stuff meat industries have left over - we're talking about pork skins, horns, and cattle bones. Yummy.

Yes it is gelatin. It is the bones, hides, ears etc. of the animal, which when brought to that state makes gelatin in its purest form.It really helps the joints. I drink it twice a day. No flavor I put it in pineapple juice which is an enzyme that helps break down the proteins..

Honestly, grassed does not matter for gelatin. You want grass fed beef for the better fats; but gelatin is fat-free.

I'm going to chime in, because there seems to be some confusion? It is very likely, this product contains animal products, as gelatin--is typically--made from animal (bovine) bone and marrow. HTH.

It says nothing about "gelatin". It has Garcina Cambogia Extract 500mg, (50% Hydroxycitric Acid), Calcium 40mg, Potassium 60mg = 600mg. Then it says "contains no filler, binders, artificial ingredients, wheat, gluten, yeast, soy, corn, milk or preservatives.....

Gelatin is animal based. A friend of mine is a vegetarian and won't eat anything with gelatin in it. I believe it is from animal hooves.

Hello Dan, I am surprised myself that I never checked origin of material to produce this gelatin which printed on the package only "NOW FOODS" as Distributer. I looked their web site but I couldn't find very clear answer. Regarding of consciousness I sent mail to the company. They responded promptly. But i am still not sure Why they couldn't specified of "local maker"- whoever it is,they could make anything in same building their Factory without let us know of. "MADE IN USA"doesn't mean 100% safe that we should always keep in our mind too. You might have now more information than mine.if so,please share information to other consumers!

Knox gelatin has the same qualities as Jello, but is unflavored. It does not have the same qualities as clear jel

No, it is not. Gelatine is made from ground bones, I believe this is from chicken bones.

Both are good for all of the above. The red can will actually gel. The green can dissolves into hot drinks and makes adding gelatin easier for the above mentioned health benefits. Whenever I make bone broth I always add gelatin from the red can in order to increases the amount of collagen as it is not always easy to get enough when making your own.

Anytime any ingredient says Gelatin...it is always animal based. Look on Vitacost.com for Vegan vitamin E...I will be doing the same.
