Frequently Asked Questions
General Product Information
What is Antinol Plus?
Antinol Plus is a pet health supplement for dogs sourced from green-lipped mussels that are sustainably farmed in New Zealand’s waters, which are reported among the cleanest on earth, and Antarctic Krill, which is sourced from the nutrient-dense waters around Antarctica. Antinol Plus contains a unique blend of over 90 natural fatty acids, Specialized Pro-Resolving Mediators (SPMs), astaxanthin, and phospholipids shown in clinical research to improve joint mobility and support joint health. These unique SPM compounds have been shown in pre-clinical research to foster an environment where new, healthy tissue can flourish, benefiting joint health and mobility.

Can I give Antinol Plus to my cat?
The original Antinol formula, which preceded Antinol Plus, has been given successfully to cats for many years. Antinol Plus is similar to the original Antinol formula, but now with the added benefit of krill. Clinical research in dogs has shown that Antinol and Antinol Plus are equivalent at enhancing mobility and supporting joint health. If the original Antinol has worked for your cat, you should speak to your veterinarian about giving Antinol Plus a try.
What is the breakdown of Green-lipped mussel to Krill in Antinol Plus?
Although the exact percentage of green-lipped mussel oil and krill oil in Antinol Plus is proprietary, the active ingredient in Antinol Plus is composed mostly of green-lipped mussel oil.
Why is sorbitol included in Antinol Plus?
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.
