GI Adsorb™ for Dogs by Standard Process: Digestive and Detox

If your dog struggles with digestive upset, loose stools, gas, or exposure to environmental toxins, you are not alone. I see these concerns every week in practice. That is why GI Adsorb™ by Standard Process is one of the tools I reach for when a dog needs gentle, targeted gastrointestinal support.

GI Adsorb is designed to support normal elimination, gut barrier health, and the body’s natural detox processes. It does this without harsh laxatives or stimulants, which makes it especially helpful for sensitive dogs.

What Is GI Adsorb™ by Standard Process?

GI Adsorb™ is a nutritional supplement formulated to support gastrointestinal health and elimination. It contains a purified form of clinoptilolite, a naturally occurring mineral with strong adsorbent properties, along with supportive whole food ingredients.

Adsorbent means it binds substances to its surface rather than soaking them up. This allows certain naturally occurring toxins to attach and move safely out of the body through normal elimination.

This product replaces Cholacol® II and is commonly used when digestive support and toxin binding are both needed.

Why GI Health and Elimination Matter

Digestive health is not just about stools. The gut plays a major role in nutrient absorption, immune balance, and overall vitality.

When the GI tract is stressed, toxins can irritate the gut lining and interfere with normal digestion. Supporting elimination helps reduce that burden so the gut can heal and function properly.

GI Adsorb focuses on that foundational support rather than masking symptoms.

Key Benefits of GI Adsorb™ for Dogs

GI Adsorb supports digestive health in several practical ways:

• Helps bind naturally occurring toxins in the gastrointestinal tract

• Supports normal elimination and stool quality

• Helps maintain a healthy gut barrier

• Supports digestive comfort during GI stress

• Provides gentle mineral support with calcium and iron

This makes it useful for dogs dealing with dietary indiscretion, chronic digestive sensitivity, toxin exposure, or periods of GI stress.

Understanding G-PUR® Clinoptilolite

GI Adsorb contains G-PUR®, a purified, high-quality form of clinoptilolite.

Clinoptilolite is a zeolite mineral formed from volcanic ash that has been naturally weathered over millions of years. Zeolites have long been used in water purification because of their ability to bind unwanted substances.

In GI Adsorb, this purified mineral is used to support GI health and elimination in a controlled, safe way.

Ingredients in GI Adsorb™ and What They Do

Each serving of GI Adsorb contains a proprietary blend designed to work together.

Clinoptilolite (G-PUR®)
This is the primary ingredient. It provides adsorbent support to help bind naturally occurring toxins and support normal elimination.

Chlorella
Chlorella is a nutrient-dense green algae that supports digestive health and overall detox pathways.

Collinsonia Root
Also known as stone root, this herb has a long history of use in supporting digestion and normal elimination.

Calcium
Supports bone health and normal metabolic function.

Iron
Supports healthy red blood cells and oxygen transport.

These ingredients work together to support the gut without irritating or overstimulating digestion.

How GI Adsorb™ Works

The primary action of GI Adsorb is adsorption. This is different from absorption.

Adsorption means certain substances attach to the surface of the mineral and are carried out of the body through normal bowel movements. They do not enter the bloodstream.

This process helps reduce irritation in the gut while supporting the body’s natural detox pathways.

When I Commonly Use GI Adsorb™ in Dogs

GI Adsorb can be helpful for dogs experiencing:

• Loose stools or inconsistent bowel movements

• Gas, bloating, or digestive discomfort

• Exposure to environmental or dietary toxins

• Chronic digestive sensitivity

• GI stress related to diet changes or illness

It can be used alone or as part of a broader digestive support plan.

Dosage and How to Give GI Adsorb™ to Dogs

GI Adsorb is typically given before meals with water. Capsules can be opened and mixed into food if needed.

General canine dosing guidelines I commonly use:

For dogs needing longer-term support, a pulse approach is often helpful. After 28 days of continual use, take a 2-day break before starting the next cycle.

Always separate GI Adsorb from medications or other supplements by about one hour unless your veterinarian advises otherwise.

Safety, Side Effects, and Precautions

GI Adsorb is generally well tolerated. Mild digestive changes such as temporary stool changes can occur, especially at higher doses.

If vomiting, diarrhea, or appetite changes persist, stop the supplement and consult your veterinarian.

This product is not a substitute for a balanced diet or veterinary care. Always follow recommended dosing and discuss use with your veterinarian if your dog has kidney disease, chronic GI disease, or is taking medications.

Because GI Adsorb contains iron, it should be stored safely out of reach of children and pets.

Final Thoughts

When digestive health is compromised, the entire body feels it. GI Adsorb™ by Standard Process offers gentle, targeted support for dogs who need help with elimination, gut comfort, and toxin binding.

I appreciate this formula because it works with the body rather than forcing it. Used thoughtfully, it can be a valuable part of a digestive wellness plan for many dogs.

If you are unsure whether GI Adsorb is right for your dog, I always recommend checking in with your veterinarian for individualized guidance.
