Vegan & Vegetarian Check: What's the Capsule Shell?

Since the Glucosamine itself is shellfish-derived, this formula isn't vegan or vegetarian regardless of the capsule shell — but the shell material is worth understanding too if you're comparing formulas generally.

What's already confirmed

Shellfish-derived Glucosamine means this specific formula is not suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet, regardless of what the capsule shell itself is made from — a disclosed limitation worth taking at face value.

What to actually do if you need a vegetarian alternative

Look specifically for joint-support formulas using vegetarian-sourced glucosamine, and confirm that sourcing directly with any brand you're considering rather than assuming based on general marketing language.
