Cat vitamins and blood sugar

[KeikosHuman]

Hi,
I'd like to give my cat Pet Naturals Daily Best Senior vitamin chews. Would this product increase blood glucose? The ingredients include whey, brewers yeast and maltodextrin and the vitamins. I think these vitamins would be great for Keiko but wanted to check.
Thanks!!

Yes, how much depends upon how much maltidextrin is in it
Maltodextrin is an artificial sugar that has a mild, sweet taste. Maltodextrin is also known as a polysaccharide and manufacturers create this artificial sugar by applying acids or other enzymes to cornstarch.

That doesn't sound good. I know artificial sweeteners are bad for people! I can return the bag and get my money back.

Are there any BG safe vitamins?

What are you using the vitamins for specifically?

I us Solid Gold Seameal for supplements.
You may want to look and see if that meets the dietary needs.
I mix it right in with the canned food and the raw ground that I make.
It doesnt appear to have any adverse flavor for either of the boys.
