Other Ingredients (9)

Rice FlourFiller

Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination (FDA and Consumer Reports). Rice accumulates arsenic from soil at higher rates than other grains. Used as a cheap filler — adds nothing beneficial.

Rice ExtractFiller

Rice-based ingredients carry risk of inorganic arsenic contamination. Vague labeling — 'rice extract' does not specify what is extracted or standardized. Used as a cheap filler with no supplemental benefit.

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.

InulinFiller

Prebiotic soluble fiber from chicory root, used as a filler and flow agent in capsules and tablets

Fruit Juice (unspecified)Colorant

Juice or juice concentrate used primarily for natural color and flavor in gummies

Magnesium StearateLubricant

A salt of stearic acid used as a lubricant in tablet and capsule production

Natural FlavorsFlavor

Broad regulatory category of flavor constituents derived from natural sources. 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.

Silicon DioxideAnti-caking

Fine silica powder used to prevent clumping
