Gelatin is a protein found in the hooves, bones, and connective tissues of all animals. Commercial gelatin, including Jell-O, uses these proteins extracted out of the animal byproducts.
If you are a hardcore vegan you should be aware that gelatin is used in medical applications, especially capsules for medication as the inactive ingredient suspension. Knox is the largest producer of medical grade gelatin in the world.
