This site suggests there is no significant difference
in the fluoride content of meat (and thus capsules)
from fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas:

Anyway, how much fluoride would be in non-veggie gellatin
capsules if the capsule incredient had ten times the normal
amount of fluoride?

CALCULATION:
(1) Weight of one empty gellatin capsule
0.063 g [Size 2] to 0.097 g [Size 0] per capsule
[Source: http://www.indiamart.com/chemcaps/]

(2) Weight of 4 capsules
0.252 to 0.388 g

(3) Major assumption: capsule contains 10ppm fluoride
This would be 10 times as much as in fluoridated water.

(4) Fluoride from 4 capsules, worst case
0.388 g * 10 / 1,000,000 = 3.88 millionths of a gram of fluoride

(5) Fluoride in 8 cups of fluoridated water, for comparison
8 cup * 8 ounces/cup * 28.349 g/ounce = 1814 millionths of a gram of
fluoride

RESULT:
Four non-veggie gellatin capsules increase fluoride intake by 0.2 of 1%,
at most. Equivalent to drinking 0.14 ounces more fluoridated water
(about 1 teaspoon of water). Or, you get 500 times more fluoride from
drinking water than capsules.
