Gelatine is also the main constituent of gel caps - a standard mode of packaging for both pharmaceuticals and nutritional supplements. Gelatine is then “cooked” from this dangerous collagen and routinely added to popular foods such as:

Once ingested by a cow, glyphosate insinuates itself into its collagen by swapping itself for glycine during a series of chemical reactions called “protein synthesis”. Its manufacturer, Monsanto, convinced authorities over four decades ago that it is completely non-toxic despite its deadly reputation, so it remains unregulated. Most cattle feed is made up of genetically modified corn or soy that has been heavily sprayed with this silent killer.

Almost no plant can withstand it - except GMO crops that have been specifically engineered to, of course. So, what is glyphosate? Simply put, it’s the active ingredient in Round-Up that allows us to conveniently control dandelions or kill weeds coming up out of the pavement. Īs if these meaty cons aren’t more than enough reason to steer clear, gelatine is also highly susceptible to contamination by a super-toxic herbicide called glyphosate.

For one, utilising vegetarian caps makes our mission to stay glyphosate-free possible! Gelatine caps, on the other hand, are apt to be contaminated with this harmful additive. Why, then, do we choose to encase our supplements in vegetarian caps over their gelatine counterparts? And rightly so! Gelatine is nature’s very best source of glycine, a highly relaxing amino acid that nourishes joints and promotes muscle growth. As an organ meat company that aims to deliver underrated nutrients to the people, we’re well aware that gelatine is all the rage right now.
