Primal Defense, soy sprouts

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Can anyone offer an opinion on this? I'm considering giving Primal Defense

to my dog that has colitis. But it has a number of sprouts in the

ingredients and I'm wondering if any of them contain any toxic compounds.

Here's a list:

" 100 mg PhytoSterol/Sterolin Blend from sprouts in their natural whole food

form (low temperature flash freeze dried). Sprouts included are Wild African

Potato, Oilseed Plant, Lupins, Fenugreek, Barley, Wheat, Soybean and African

Sunflower. "

Do soy *sprouts* contain the same toxic compounds that soy *beans* do? What

about these other sprouts - is anyone familiar with them? Do they seem like

OK things to eat regularly in moderate amounts?

I know of a dog who's alive today ONLY because of PD, apparently. He is a

GSD that has exocrine pancreatic deficiency and IBD and wasted away down to

20 lbs.(!) despite antibiotic therapy, dietary therapy and some other other

therapies. Only PD restored his health. so, i've got a really powerful

anecdote, yet i'm concerned about these sprouts because i'm not familiar

with them and wonder if there's anything harmful in them?

thanks for any help!

I would not use any soy with dogs - not healthy for them. Also would

suggest that it would be wise to look at the whole picture as to what

your dog is ingesting as balance is key here. If your dog has colitis

would suggest getting " Holistic Guide for a Healthy Dog " by

Volhard. That should help you find you way with this. Her work is

based on tte Levy's.
