We include sorbitol in Antinol Plus to help make sure the soft gel capsules are sealed properly. This is important to ensure that the product is of high quality. Sorbitol is commonly used in the industry because it works well with krill.
Sorbitol is a safe and non-toxic excipient that is used in many supplements. In dogs, several studies have shown that doses of up to 20% sorbitol in dog food had no effect on overall health.
To put this into perspective, for a dog that weighs 20 lbs., 7.2% sorbitol in diet would equate to a daily intake of about 22 grams of sorbitol. Antinol Plus has .0007 grams of sorbitol per soft gel.
If you prefer to avoid sorbitol all together, the contents of the Antinol Plus soft gels may be emptied onto your pet’s food, since sorbitol is only present in the soft gel shell.
