YES; other options: Yes, gelatin is derived from pork skins, pork, horse & cattle bones or split cattle hides, though there is now also gelatin from fish (generally labelled as such). Many vegan iron preparations are available. One of the best-absorbed forms is ferrous bis-glycinate, available as opti-ferrin c by pure encapsualtions, advanced ferrochel by source naturals & solgar gentle iron. I also like floradix.
