About Marshmallow
Marshmallow (typically the root or extract of Althaea officinalis) is used in pet foods and supplements as a botanical demulcent—its mucilaginous compounds provide gentle, soluble-fiber–like soothing for digestive, urinary, and respiratory mucosa rather than contributing meaningful protein or vitamins. It is generally regarded as safe in small, standardized amounts and may offer mild prebiotic or calming effects, but can alter absorption of some medications and commercial candy forms contain sugars and additives harmful to pets, so veterinary guidance is recommended for therapeutic use.
