To answer your question – YES, the oil inside the capsules is Certified Vegetarian. The capsule itself is beef gelatin. Our Mixed Tocopherols OIL product is Certified Vegan. You can also cut open the softgels if you’d like. We also have the same E in a 1-oz pump bottle made specifically for people who wish to have a vegetarian form and for those that do not wish to swallow a softgel.
