Other ingredients
MaltodextrinBinder
Spikes blood sugar faster than table sugar (glycemic index 85–105). Research links it to gut bacteria changes that may promote intestinal inflammation (Nickerson et al. 2015). Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.
XylitolSweetener
A FODMAP sugar alcohol that can cause GI distress (bloating, gas, diarrhea) at moderate doses (>10-20g/day), though supplement amounts are typically small. Extremely toxic to dogs — households with pets should store securely.
Beet ColorColorant
Natural red-pink colorant from dehydrated beets or beet juice; the pigment is betanin
Tapioca DextrinCarrier
A starch hydrolysate from tapioca used as a carrier and flow agent
Magnesium StearateLubricant
A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production

Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.
