The base
What is the base of Payarmin drops?
The base of Payarmin drops is most likely glycerin and water, the first two of the nine other ingredients. The label gives no percentages, so this is a reading of the list, not a stated fact.
Glycerin is a sweet, syrupy liquid called a sugar alcohol. The nine items sit under the Supplement Facts panel, apart from the 22-ingredient blend.
The nine items
What are the other ingredients in Payarmin?
Glycerin, water, organic lemon extract, stevia extract 97% (Reb A), xylitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid and natural flavors.
By job, glycerin and water are the liquid base, lemon and natural flavors give taste, stevia and xylitol sweeten, and the last three keep the liquid fresh.
The label does not say what the natural flavors are.

Xylitol
Is xylitol in Payarmin dangerous for dogs?
Yes. Xylitol can drop a dog's blood sugar fast, within 10 to 60 minutes, with vomiting, weakness, collapse and seizures (Paws Off Xylitol per FDA).
Store the bottle where a dog cannot reach it. If a dog may have eaten the drops, contact a vet or animal poison control right away (Paws Off Xylitol per FDA).
Xylitol is the fifth of nine other ingredients. The amount is not printed.
Glycerin
Is the glycerin in Payarmin safe?
FDA lists glycerin as generally recognized as safe when used in accordance with good manufacturing practice (21 CFR 182.1320 (glycerin) per eCFR).
That rule is about food use. The label gives no glycerin amount, and we do not claim one.

View packsSugar and alcohol
Does Payarmin contain alcohol or added sugar?
The label lists no alcohol and no sugar by name. The sweet taste comes from stevia extract, xylitol and glycerin.
Stevia extract 97% (Reb A) is a high-purity form, and FDA has not questioned the GRAS notices for Reb A (Aspartame and Other Sweeteners per FDA).
Natural flavors are not broken down, so ask the order desk if you must avoid alcohol entirely.
Preservatives
What are the preservatives in the drops?
Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are the preservatives, and citric acid is a mild fruit acid that also helps keep the liquid fresh.
FDA food rules treat sodium benzoate (21 CFR 184.1733 (sodium benzoate) per eCFR), potassium sorbate (21 CFR 182.3640 (potassium sorbate) per eCFR) and citric acid (21 CFR 184.1033 (citric acid) per eCFR) as generally recognized as safe within good manufacturing practice.
Those rules cover food, and the label gives no amounts for the drops.
Safety
Who should check with a doctor before using the drops?
Anyone pregnant or nursing, under 18, or with a known medical condition should consult a physician first, as the label directs.
Keep taking every prescribed medicine as directed. Keep the bottle out of reach of children, and skip it if the safety seal is damaged or missing.

FAQ
What do people ask about the other ingredients in Payarmin?
One to start with: What are the other ingredients in Payarmin? Plus 5 more answered below.
Each answer gives the plain reply first, then the reasoning and a citation where available.
What are the other ingredients in Payarmin?
Nine items: glycerin, water, organic lemon extract, stevia extract 97% (Reb A), xylitol, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid and natural flavors. The label prints no amount for any of them. They sit apart from the 22-ingredient blend.
Is xylitol in Payarmin dangerous for dogs?
Yes. Xylitol can cause a rapid, dangerous drop in a dog's blood sugar within 10 to 60 minutes, with vomiting, weakness, collapse and seizures (Paws Off Xylitol per FDA). If a dog may have eaten the drops, call a vet or animal poison control right away.
Is the glycerin in Payarmin safe?
FDA lists glycerin as generally recognized as safe when used in accordance with good manufacturing practice (21 CFR 182.1320 (glycerin) per eCFR). That rule covers food use. The label gives no glycerin amount, so we cannot say how much one serving holds.
Does Payarmin contain alcohol?
The label lists no alcohol among its nine other ingredients. Glycerin and xylitol are called sugar alcohols, but they are not the ethanol in drinks. Natural flavors are not broken down, so ask the order desk if you must avoid alcohol entirely.
Does Payarmin have added sugar?
The label names no sugar among its other ingredients, and the Supplement Facts panel prints no sugar line. The sweet taste comes from stevia extract, xylitol and glycerin. Unlike in dogs, xylitol does not trigger the same insulin release in people (Paws Off Xylitol per FDA).
What are the preservatives in the drops?
Sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are the preservatives, and citric acid is a mild fruit acid that also helps. FDA food rules treat each as generally recognized as safe within good manufacturing practice (21 CFR 184.1733 (sodium benzoate) per eCFR) (21 CFR 182.3640 (potassium sorbate) per eCFR) (21 CFR 184.1033 (citric acid) per eCFR).
