D-Xylose

1.  Prebiotic for Gut Health

• Mechanism: Xylose selectively promotes the growth of beneficial gut bacteria (e.g., Bifidobacteria) while inhibiting pathogens, improving intestinal balance and immune function.

• Benefits: Reduces diarrhea, enhances nutrient absorption, and supports overall digestive health in dogs and cats.

2. Low-Glycemic Energy Source

• Function: Unlike glucose, xylose is absorbed slowly, providing steady energy without spiking blood sugar levels.

• Use Case: Ideal for weight management formulas or diabetic-prone pets to maintain energy while avoiding obesity risks.

3. Oral Health Enhancement

• Action: Xylose inhibits the growth of oral bacteria (e.g., Streptococcus mutans), reducing plaque formation and bad breath.

• Application: Incorporated into dental chews, kibble coatings, or oral care treats.

4. Palatability Booster

• Role: Mild sweetness (∼60% of sucrose) enhances flavor acceptance in hypoallergenic or medicinal pet foods without adding calories.

• Formulation: Used in wet food, semi-moist treats, or supplements to improve taste appeal for picky eaters.

5. Skin and Coat Support

• Link to Gut-Skin Axis: By improving gut microbiota, xylose indirectly reduces systemic inflammation, promoting healthier skin and a shinier coat.

GRAS Status

• Recognized as safe by the FDA for use in animal feed and pet food.

Dosage

• Effective at 0.5–2% inclusion rates, depending on pet size and formulation goals.
