Re: Switching Veggie Caps to Gel Caps

[Guest guest]

Janet,

I bought some gel caps at the health food store. I actually wanted the

veggie caps. I am using them for the kirkman's calcium power. I understand

there is some concern about gelatin -- but am not sure what it is. Maybe

one of our list-mates know?

'list mate' gives me the hebbie gebbies.

that aside the problem with gelatin is that it inhibits the dpp iv

enzyme, but the amount from gelatineg capsules is not significant.

but cheese cakes and jellies are significant.
