can i have a product check please :D

[kerrie and stan]

not sure were i should put this but hay ho feel free to move

on my thread about stans tum bev said about using pre/pro biotics so i went to P@H and had a look. before i use it i just wanted to check if it was the right one and if its ok to use. it is:
Pro-C Probiotic by Vetark
Ingredients:
Vitamin C
Lactobacillus acidophilus
Enterococcus
Feacium
FOS Solubal Fibre Prebiotic
Electrolytes
Dextrose
Chlorophyll

or is it the same thing as useing yakult (sp)

[GSPmad]

sounds ok.  but wait for bev or val.  i usually use natural live yoghurt - for the dogs that is - i think my diet is beyond repair. 

[Sweetypye]

Cheaper to feed a banana for prebiotic and get probiotics that can withstand the stomach acid ie those from Healthspan.

Yakult works out more expensive and not a lot manages to get to the gut where it is needed.

I am very curious why electrolytes are in this product though as feeding electrolytes when they are not required is at best pointless and at worst an expensive waste of money.

[GSPmad]

what about for those of us in the world that go  at the smell of a banana. any alternatives?

[GSPmad]

oh and kerrie

www.healthspan.co.uk

in case you didn't know. 

[Val]

Live Yoghurt much cheaper 

[kerrie and stan]

thanks gsp

so what type of yoghurt should i be buying? sorry im not sure what you mean by live yoghurt

should i give banana and yoghurt then or just yoghurt or yoghurt and something else

sorry silly questions

[GSPmad]

no idea about banana. i just go in supermarket and look for one of thos big pots of yogurt - they say live and natural on them. think one i have been getting recently is called yeo? will see if i have in fridge to check.

[GSPmad]

yep says yeo valley organic natural probiotic on the lid.

and what was the name thread for. 

[kerrie and stan]

thanks uurrmmm Terry im hopeless with names i even had to look it up, dont wory i still call bev kiz

will have a look in tesco when im next in for some yoghurts. P@H should take the powder back shouldnt they its not been opened

[kizkiznobite]

raw oats are also a good pre biotic

[kerrie and stan]

hold on 

so is oats and banana pre?
and
yoghurt pro?

[GSPmad]

yoghurt is definitely pro.

since it sp and kiz saying would guess others are pre yes. 

[kerrie and stan]

ah i see, soooo (sorry will shut up soon promise )

i could give him yoghurt in the morning with his brekky (weetabix) and oats and/or banana on his dinner

or the other way round

[kizkiznobite]

yoghurt can be either - if the yoghurt is made with inulin - an extract from the chicory then it works as a prebiotic

i give yoghurt and narnies or raw oats as a prebiotic and use a probiotic powder - but i can't remember the name as i bought it in bulk and the container split and it now in a plastic tub
