What We Know About Each Ingredient's General Safety
| Ingredient | General safety notes |
|---|---|
| Xylitol | Widely used in food and oral-care products; can cause digestive upset (gas, bloating, mild laxative effect) in some people at higher intakes. Toxic to dogs — store away from pets. |
| BioFresh™ Clean Complex | Undisclosed composition — we cannot evaluate allergen or interaction risk for an unknown blend. Check the physical supplement facts label for any disclosed sub-ingredients. |
| Cranberry extract | Generally well tolerated; cranberry products have historically raised theoretical interaction questions with blood-thinning medication (e.g., warfarin) in some clinical literature — relevant primarily to those on such medication, who should ask their prescriber. |
| Purple carrot powder | A food-derived ingredient with no notable safety flags in the general nutrition literature we reviewed. |
| Probiotic strains | Generally well tolerated in healthy adults; may cause mild, temporary digestive changes when starting. Individuals who are immunocompromised should consult a doctor before taking any probiotic supplement. |
