About Althea
Althea (marshmallow root, Althaea officinalis) is used in pet foods and supplements primarily as an herbal demulcent and source of mucilaginous soluble fiber to help soothe mild irritation of the digestive and respiratory mucosa, rather than as a nutrient-dense protein or calorie source. It may offer gentle symptomatic support for GI or throat discomfort, but evidence is limited and it can interfere with the absorption of oral medications; use products from reputable manufacturers and consult your veterinarian—particularly for pets on other drugs or those that are pregnant or nursing.
