The Other White Meat
Just got off the phone with Kirkland Signature, I had a question about the non-bovine gelatin in their Fish Oil Omega 3 softgels, whether it be from pigs, fish, or plants. It’s from a pig. Weird how most companies go for pig gelatin, I’m assuming it’s because plant gelatin is more expensive to manufacture? I [...]
