I’ve been around this forum and in the pet nutrition field for quite a while, so forgive my skepticism on yet another “miracle” product. Recently, I’ve seen a trend toward powdered dog vitamins that are touted as being superior due to easier mixing with food and supposedly better absorption. My main questions are: Is there any valid, peer-reviewed research suggesting that powdered vitamins actually perform better than traditional pill or chewable forms? And what does the manufacturing process look like—could the drying process compromise any of the nutrients or lead to variability in potency?
From my perspective, many of these products seem more about flashy marketing than actual improvement in pet health. Has anyone conducted or seen any rigorous comparisons between different vitamin delivery forms? I’m also curious if there are any long-term studies on how these powdered supplements affect overall canine nutrient uptake versus conventional formats.
Looking forward to hearing detailed insights or pointing me to reliable research that either supports or debunks these powdered formulations.
