gelatin capsules = ANNOYING

So I'm a new vegan, and last week I went out to find flax seed oil and B vitamin supplements. I just took the cheapest options, and when I got home I realized that the flax seed oil pills are made with gelatin. I'd already cracked it open, so I can't return it.

Is this the case with all oil supplements, or can I find pills sans gelatin? I'm guessing most people just get a bottle of the seed oil itself, but I live in a dorm room and rarely get to cook for myself so it's difficult to incorporate something like that into my diet...

any tips?

I just buy the oil. I also live in a dorm room, but you aren't supposed to cook the flax seed oil anyway. I just drop a table spoon of it in a shot of soy milk or juice and drink it really quickly. I don't enjoy mixing it with my food or using it as a dressing, so that is the best option for me. I don't know if that helps or not.

there are veggie caps out there, just read the label. It will also usually say vegicaps or somethign similiar on the label.  They are usually pricier since animal gelatin is cheap.

Softgels are harder to find.

I would just empty them out for now. I use either whole flax, or flax oil straight.

DON"T ever cook with flax oil, it'smoke point is too low. Also heat will destroy the benifits. It is great for salad dressing however
