Namaste! You asked about whether TurmNova Turmeric Lozenges contain gelatin, especially since the packaging mentions it but lacks the usual Red/Green vegetarian/non-vegetarian mark.

• Gelatin Presence: The mention of gelatin on the packaging suggests that the lozenges likely contain this ingredient. Gelatin is commonly derived from animal sources, which is important for strict vegetarians to consider.

• Absence of Red/Green Mark: The missing Red (non-vegetarian) or Green (vegetarian) mark means the product does not clearly indicate its suitability for vegetarians. This can happen if the product is imported, not regulated under certain food labeling laws, or if the manufacturer has not provided this detail.

• Advice for Strict Vegetarians: To be certain, it is best to:

  • Contact the manufacturer directly for detailed ingredient information.
  • Check the official product website or trusted retailer descriptions.
  • Look for certified vegetarian or vegan alternatives if you want to avoid any animal-derived ingredients.

• Alternatives: If gelatin is present and you prefer to avoid it, consider turmeric supplements or lozenges labeled explicitly as vegetarian or vegan, which use plant-based gelling agents.

For personalized advice or if you have any health concerns related to supplement use, consulting a doctor or a specialist in nutrition would be beneficial.
