Why are the Gentle Digest Capsules white now? Didn't they used to be light brown?
Gentle Digest is manufactured under strict specifications and process verification which occur every 30 minutes during the packaging process to ensure quality and accuracy in our products. Being a natural product, the color changes don’t always mean that the product is of lesser potency or its effectiveness has been impacted by the ingredients being used. Chicory Root comes roasted and non - roasted, depending on the harvesting season. Both forms meet our strict specifications and it does not compromise the efficacy of the product. The color is darker in nature when roasted.
Are the probiotics in Gentle Digest plant based?
We use Lactorspore sporogenes - it is a lactic acid culture.

My 8 year old female cat within the past 2 years developed constipation issues, and we had tried just about every holistic trick in the book (pumpkin, and then here lately adding some canned tuna to water to increase her water intake), but she would still have accidents around the house about once a month. Since starting this Gentle Digest around Christmas 2017, she has not had a single outside-the-litter-box episode (it is now February 2018). She loves it--well, on top of the canned tuna lol--and I plan to continue using it for her digestive health.

I think this has improved my cat's stools - he's sadly sick with cancer, but I notice a difference. Plus, it's not too hard to get him to take these (compared to the powders out there) - either he'll eat it off his plate, or I give it to him like a pill. I'm lucky he's a good pill-taker, but actually works better to know he got a full dose than sprinkling powders.

I'm still using the product, but I don't see as much of an improvement as I'd like.

I just recently started giving this product to my gassy German Shepherds. Although both weigh over 50 pounds and have to take 3 a day, these were super easy to give. The order even came super fast!

My pup has a weak stomach when it comes to new foods or liquid foods every time I give him one of these with those foods he's able to digest it and not have loose bowel movements

My dog was having terrible constipation problems until I started giving him these capsules. He's old, so I didn't want to give him more drugs, but these are all natural. I definitely recommend this product!

This product does what is promised. I give my 35 lbs dog 1 capsule twice a day before meal. I roll it into Honest Kitchen herbal supplement. I also give my dog Gentle Digest treats, but not just 2 a day as suggested, but probably 8-10 a day. All these although don't stop my dog from pooping sometimes in a middle of night, but it is NO DIARRHEA! It is just normal stool, soft, but fomed, no mucous, no blood! For a 13 y.o. with IBS, I consider it a success!

My 15 year old American Eskimo has developed kidney problems. Her digestive tract is also affected. I started giving her one a day since she is about 20 pounds. Although this will not "cure" the problem it has helped her appetite and energy level. Nice to know it does not have a lot of chemicals.

I have 4 pets, they have all been on Ark Naturals since day one. I was introduced to this probiotic by my Great Dane Breeder, and Ive stuck with it. Cant beat the price on chewy.com. Good food, good vitamins, and love are the makings of a Healthy Happy pet...
