Wholistic Kibble Ingredients:
Tapioca: a starch from the fleshy root of the cassava, made into"flour" contains calcium and small amounts of minerals.
Jicama: a legume grown for its large root is used as a starch. Jicama, a very good source of fiber, also contains potassium, and is high in vitamin C
Yams: starchy rhizomes containing good amounts of vitamin B6, potassium, and other nutrients. Yams contain a unique fat-like substance called diosgenin, which is classified as a hormone-like molecule and is currently being studied for its potential anti-cancer effects.
Pumpkin: low in calories and fat, pumpkin contains a wide variety of vitamins and minerals, plus lots of vitamin A, carotenoids, and is an excellent source of fiber and helps expel worms.
Peas: are bursting with nutrients--8 vitamins, 7 minerals, dietary fiber and protein. These nutrients help support the energy-producing cells and systems of the body.
Chicken Fat(preserved with mixed tocopherols): Dogs require fat in their diet for energy, as building blocks for hormones, and for a healthy nervous system. Chicken fat is an excellent fat because it is easily digested and contains good amounts of essential linoleic fatty acids and Omega 3 fatty acids. These essential fatty acids are involved in the body’s response to inflammation, swelling, redness, and itching.
Flaxseeds: are abundant in omega 3 fatty acids, which are needed to produce flexible cell membranes. The body uses these fatty acids to form substances that offer protection against heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. They are also important to the skin and coat and provide important fiber.
Sun cured Alfalfa Meal: Alfalfa provides essential vitamins and minerals and is commonly used to detoxify the body, to help ease inflammation, and balance hormones. It is soothing to the digestive tract, improves the appetite and aids in nutrient assimilation.
Blueberries: are one of the richest sources of antioxidant phytonutrients protecting the body and brain from oxidative stress.
Cranberries: a cousin to the blueberry, they are unique in their ability to protect and treat the urinary tract and other mucous membranes against infections by preventing the adhesion of pathogens.
Kelp: This sea vegetable contains almost every mineral and trace mineral necessary for the health of mammals; it also contains amino acids and vitamins. Kelp boosts the immune system, regulates the glands, promotes regular heat cycles, supports motility of male semen, promotes a healthy coat, and detoxifies the body.
Eggs: are a great source of easily digested protein, and choline. Choline is a key component of acetylcholine. A neurotransmitter that carries messages from and to nerves, acetylcholine is the body's primary chemical means of communication between nerves and muscles. The pesticides and herbicides in common use are designed to destroy this neurotransmitter in insects but it can carry over to other species. Eggs are a rich source of lutein, a carotenoid thought to help prevent cataracts, and a source of B-vitamins, including vitamin B12.
Mangosteen: is a Southeast Asian fruit that has been used to relieve skin conditions, treat allergies, support the nervous system, as well as the cardiovascular system; aids in treating urinary and digestive problems. It is rich in phytoceuticals and antioxidants plus vitamins and minerals.
Reishi Mushroom: (Ganoderma lucidum) has been used in oriental medicine for thousands of years. Recent studies suggest reishi has beneficial action in treating diabetes mellitus, anti-tumor effect, and high blood pressure. In Japan, it is used as cardiotonic to treat circulatory problems. It has anti-allergenic properties because it inhibits release of histamine, which causes the body’s allergic reaction.
Turkey Tail: and its immune-enhancing activities have been extensively studied in Japan since mid 1970's; over 300 clinical studies have been conducted. The active constituent, PSP (polysaccharide peptide), is currently gaining respect for its effectiveness against tumors both in laboratory experiments and in clinical studies. Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, and the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, both recommend this mushroom as a supplement for chemo patients. Turkey tail it is also gaining recognition for its remarkable anti-aging qualities, and its use as an anti-virus and anti-inflammatory in the treatment of infection and inflammation of the upper respiratory, urinary and digestive tracts, including liver ailments, hepatitis B and chronic active hepatitis.
Artichoke: Artichokes are nutrient dense with 16 essential nutrients! One of these, cynarin, a compound found in the leaves, demonstrates benefits to the liver; silymarin, another compound found in artichokes has powerful antioxidant properties and is believed to help the liver regenerate healthy tissue. Artichokes provide the important minerals magnesium, chromium, manganese, potassium, phosphorus, iron and calcium. In addition to all these important minerals, artichokes are a good source of fiber.
Garlic: Whole volumes have been written about this nutrient rich food with anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-viral activities. Garlic also contains good amounts of vitamin C, vitamin B6, selenium, manganese and other minerals.
Parsley is a storehouse of nutrients including vitamins A, B, C and E, potassium, iron, magnesium, chlorophyll, and organic sulfur. The flavanoids and volatile oil components of parsley help the body resist infection, neutralize some carcinogens and help stop the multiplication of tumor cells. The volatile oils – particularly myristicin – have been shown to inhibit tumor formation in animal studies and to aid the body in using enzymes. Parsley assists the bladder, thyroid gland, kidneys, liver, and lungs. The flavanoids in parsley – especially luteolin – have been shown to function as antioxidants. In addition to these unique compounds, parsley contains vitamin C, beta-carotene, and folic acid. It cleanses the blood, stimulates the digestive system, maintains healthy skin, helps expel worms, and refreshes the breath. What a powerhouse leafy green plant this is!
Kale: is a leafy green vegetable rich in health promoting, sulfur-containing phytochemicals, carotenoids, pro-vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, minerals including calcium, and plant fiber.
Organic Coconut Oil which helps regulate thyroid function, fights immune diseases, is anti-viral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal (giardia); helps an animal to destroy lipid coated viruses and various pathogenic bacteria. Coconut oil is a digestive aid, especially important for inflammatory bowel disorders. As an antioxidant, it is 50 times more potent than Vitamin E, 15 times more potent than carrots, and 300 times more potent than tomatoes.
Wild Salmon Oil contains a wealth of essential fatty acids that benefit the heart and circulatory system, as well as nervous system development, immune system function and skin and coat. Why "wild salmon?" A 2004 study published in the journal Science showed levels of contaminants such as PCBs, dioxins, dieldrin, toxaphene and other pesticides, were significantly higher in farmed salmon than in their wild counterparts; we use only WILD salmon oil.
