My cat ate one on my dietary supplements(Cortrex), I’m trying to do research online to see if it is toxic for cats but I’m not finding anything. Can you help?

I do not see anything in those ingredients that would cause a problem in cats. The upper ingredients are mostly water soluble vitamins which would not cause any problem in a cat for the most part. (Very high levels of vitamin C can cause diarrhea, but that is not a high enough dose in 1 capsule.) The lower ingredients are 2 glandular supplements and licorice (which is not toxic to cats and is actually used in Chinese herbal formulas for cats). I would not anticipate any problem with Raven ingesting one of those capsules.
I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
