Dear Sharon,
Apocaps contains the actives found in Curcumin already, as well as actives in Denosyl, so you may be able to get away without the others…then again, extra curcumin likely does little harm and is usually well tolerated…
Best to you

Dr. Dressler:

My 16 year old 9 lb. Min Pin had a perianal carcinoma removed a couple of months ago. The cancer had not spread to her lymph nodes. Having found your website, I have ordered Apocaps and have already started her on curcumin, mixed in her food twice a day, equalling about 400 mg. She is also taking Denosyl (she had pancreatitis) and a vitamin. She is also on W/D low fat prescription food because of the pancreatitis. Is it ok to give her the Apocaps and curcumin both and should I give her more of the curcumin? She seems to like it. I am so thankful for the cancer blogs. I have certainly learned more about cancer in dogs than I ever wanted to know, but I want to make Angel’s life as comfortable and happy as possible.

Dear Lynne, since Apocaps is designed to help maintain normal life quality and expectancy and does have luteolin already, you may discontinue the Lutimax since you would be giving two sources of the same ingredient.

Best,

Hi Dr. Dressler,

We just received our Apocaps and I have a question. Since the Apocaps contain Luteolin, should we stop the Lutimax supplements? Thank you, again.

Paul-

What is the source for your information that the reseveratrol in Resvantage is derived from Giant Knotweed? I cannot find this info on their website?

Not that I don’t believe you, but I always verify through various sources.

Oxidation is not exposure to oxygen (“oxygen free environment”) It is a chemical reaction that results in a loss of electrons. Reduction is the opposite, i.e., a gain of electrons.

Resveratrol for dogs..Resvantage Canine product by the way doesnot have grapeseed extrat. Also Resvantage Canine is made from giant knotweed and not ALL resvertrol comes from grapes as most people seem to think. Resveratrol is HIGHLY oxidative. I understand Resvantage Canine is protected from oxidation for they have had it encapsulated in an oxygen free nitrogen rich environment. Resvantage Canine Keeps its quality which I like. I have gone to the health food store for humans and not one of the resveratrol products offer, regardless of dosage has been manufactured correctly. They are all sitting there oxidizing regardless of its dosage

Phillip,
resveratrol is so intriguing and seems like hot stuff. Honestly I am a wee bit paranoid about it since it usually comes from grapes. Occasionally a dog develops grape toxicity, from ingestion, and it is serious. Nobody knows the toxic agent, and it does not happen all the time, nor does it happen in all dogs who consume grapes. So I am left wondering….is it safe? Always? (In the dog that is).
Could be there are non grape sources that I haven’t really checked into yet…

Anyone interested in cancer prevention for their dogs should have them on Resvantage Canine the resveratrol supplement for dogs. I have my dog on this supplement and I am convinced from all the research I have seen regarding resveratrol on cancer prevention, that I am actively engaged in defending him against the disease or at the least, forstalling its appearance. I have lost two dogs now to cancer and the resveratrol story is convincing.

Have a look at the National Cancer Institute on-line publication about resveratrol. http://www.cancer.gov They claim it reduces tumor incidence in animals. And then have a look at a study performed at Colorado University-Denver whereby the Chair of their Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Department states in an interview with CBS News “There’s no doubt, if you feed an animal this stuff, they’re going to get less cancer.”
