No - none that you questioned. BUT I really don't see a difference in my dogs teeth either. So I quit using it. I'm an all natural person myself and don't like using a lot of 'stuff' on my pets.

There are two different kinds of this product which looks alot alike on packaging or write up. One is Antiseptic gel and the other is the Maintenance gel. When trying to figure out ingredients make sure the ingredients match that specific product.

Six months after a dental, his teeth looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 3 years. Since using this product, he has now gone 15 months without a dental cleaning. There is NO tartar on any of his back or front teeth and only a very tiny amount of tartar on the two fangs. I am EXTREMELY pleased with this product!!!!!

I have taken this product for a year or more. I didn't know there were different forms of C, I assumed it was all ascorbic acid. Where did you get the idea it was sodium ascorbate? This particular product is used by Thomas E Levy, MD JD, author of a half-dozen excellent books on C, and he said he carries this form with him when he travels out of the country and used it to cure one young girl in South America of West Nile Virus and another in Africa of Deng Fever.

Unfortunately, it doesn't. They do make a Vitamin C Complex 90 tabs or 180 tabs http://www.amazon.com/Foods-Buffered-Bioflavonoids-Sustained-Release/dp/B0013OSLKI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357949245&sr=8-1&keywords=now+vitamin+c+complex that has calcium ascorbate, but no other minerals. That's the one I really wanted, but I ordered the wrong one.

I do not see it listed, and there is a disclaimer that it does not contain soy. Diabetics or those with a blood coagulation disorder need to consult their doctor. I checked with my kidney doctor, and there are so many ingredients that he said it is best not to take it. One thing it does do is turn urine a bright yellow/gold even with just one pill.

Yes...my cat has CKD and she eats it. She's picky so I have to jump through hoops and sometimes combine it with the new Broths from Fancy Feast but she does eat it. She does better with this than her kidney food (Hills K/D).

Sorry, I don't have an answer for this. I use the multi-vitamin, which as far as I know isn't designed to help a specific condition. I like them because I have a finicky eater who always eats them.

Here is what the bottle says on the back under "Other Ingredients: Dicalcium phosphate anhydrous, microcrystalline cellulose, calcium carbonate, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, silcon dioxide, hydroxypropylcellulose, magnesium stearate, sodium carboxymethylcellulose, dextrose, soy lecitin, sodium citrate and dextrin. The primary ingredients are listed as: LuraLean (Glucomannan)(Amorphophallus konjac)(root), African Mango, Lychee extract, white Kidney Bean extract." I kept the bottle to remind me never ever to buy something like this again. It was a complete waste of money. As I said in the review, eat 2-3 tablespoons of sugar free jello and you'll put more bulk into your stomach than these pills do.

No. I don't know why someone else said it does, because it doesn't. It does have magnesium ascorbate (ascorbate or ascorbic acid = vitamin c; when in magnesium ascorbate form it's considered buffered or less acidic. )also bromelain, and of course quercitin.There should be an ingredient list somewhere within the amazon page for the product.

Hi Mr R., It is in the form of L-ascorbic acid which is naturally occurring in food sources, unlike D-ascorbic acid which must be chemically synthesized. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.

Yes. Listed as Sodium Ascorbate 34 mg. My German Shepherd gets 3 of these per day (he weighs in at 125 lbs, and is large beautiful boy, these work great for him.

The bottle shows the ingredients are: Vitamin C (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate), Calcium (as Ester-C Calcium Ascorbate) plus C-Sorb Citrus Bioflavonoids Complex, Citrus Bioflavonoids, Sweet Orange, Tangerine, Lime, Lemon, Acerola, Rutin, Hesperidin Complex, Naturally Occurring Vitamin C Metabolites. So no, I don't see ascorbic acid as an ingredient, but I don't know what Calcium Ascorbate is, is it the same thing?

Not according to the label--main ingredients or inactive ingredients. It has Glucosamine, MSM, Chondroitin, Ascorbic Acid, and Manganese. The inactive ingredients includes nutmeg, allspice, brewers yeast (which is good to keep fleas and tickets away, but in a larger quantity than this probably has), chicken liver flavor, silicon dioxide, and stearic acid. I do not have my dog on any pain medications and she is doing well on this by itself. One, twice a day, whereas before I had her on another "advanced hip and joint" compound, 3 tablets , 3 times a day and she still had issues.... Hope this is helpful.

As far as I know, the only ingredient is human grade vitamin C. I would contact the company just to make sure if you have any other questions or concerns.
