What Supplement actually is

Supplement is a supplement commonly found in commercial pet food. It is sourced from synthetic origins and is classified as acceptable quality by Chowmark's scoring rubric.

Why it's still in pet food when human food has moved on

Two reasons: cost and regulatory inertia. Pet food regulation lags human food regulation by decades. Premium brands have largely moved away from it. The cheap ones still use it.
