Many probiotics simply contain the bacteria, vitamins, enzymes and amino acids derived from the
food in which they are grown. Primal Defense is different because it contains a unique whole food
blend grown using Garden of Life’s uniquely developed Homeostatic Soil Organisms (HSOs), which are
completely free of herbicides and pesticides. In the olden days all our food was grown this way,
but modern farming and manufacturing techniques have depleted our nutrient-rich soil and the food
that is grown from it. HSOs are Garden of life’s particular blend of 12 strains of friendly
bacteria.
The multiple strains of bacteria used are tough, hardy and able to withstand the harshest stomach
acids, and can thrive in the most robust digestive systems. The manufacturer has designed its own
specialized fermentation process known as Poten-zyme, in which selected ingredients are
manufactured. This process is designed to make the product’s nutrients more available to the
body.
The benefits of HSOs HSOs affect the whole
digestive system. They can help flush out waste and extricate decay that has accumulated along the
walls of the intestines, forcefully consume bad yeasts, bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi that
lurk in our digestive tracts, bolster the immune system to produce more generic antibodies (like an
army of soldiers waiting in defense against any malevolent invaders), and work symbiotically with
somatic cells in order to make sure that proteins are metabolized and all toxic waste is driven out
of the body. And last but not least, HSOs encourage the body to produce natural alpha-interferon,
which is a powerful augmenter for the immune system and inhibitor of viruses.
What’s in it?
There are two versions of the product: Primal Defense, and Primal Defense Ultra. The former
contains 12 strains of bacteria, where the latter contains 13 strains. Primal Defense Ultra is much
more powerful. The strains are as follows:
1.Lactobacillus brevis
2.Lactobacillus paracasei
3.Lactobacillus casei
4.Lactobacillus plantarum
5.Lactobacillus salivarius
6.Lactobacillus acidophilus
7.Lactobacillus rhamnosus
8.Bacillus subtillis
9.Bifidobacterium lactis
10.Bifidobacterium bifidum
11.Bifidobacterium breve
12.Bifidobacterium longum
13.Saccharomyces boulardii (only in Primal Defense Ultra)
The extra strain in the Ultra version is believed to nourish intestinal mucous cells, which support
the protective properties of the intestinal epithelium. This is the body’s first line of defense
against harmful bacteria and so it goes without saying that enhancing this can improve your chances
of fighting off infection dramatically.
How does it come? These strains of bacteria are
made dormant using the company’s Microflora Delivery System and encapsulated using Ultrazorbe,
which are 100% easily dissolvable vegetable capsules designed to ensure potency. The bacteria are
then activated by our bodily fluids upon entry into our GI tract, where they multiply and flourish.
Because these strains are hardy they easily embed themselves into the intestine walls and get to
work.
What’s different about Primal Defense? Quite
simply, much of today’s food is devoid of many nutrients due to pasteurizing and processing. The
soil in which it’s grown is now heavily depleted of nutrients, and also contains harmful
pesticides, chemicals and harmful bacteria. The whole food in Primal Defense is organically grown
in HSOs.
HSOs have been used for over 20 years. They are rich in nutrients, naturally occurring and not
mutated in any way whatsoever. Therefore they are identical to the original cultures found in
unpolluted plants and soil.
Many good bacteria are destroyed by stomach acids before they reach the GI tract, but Primal
Defense’s Microflora Delivery System delivers the friendly bacteria safely into the digestive tract
where the hardy strains can securely seat themselves into the intestine walls and get straight to
work. Because the probiotics are contained within the whole food, rather than extracted from it
like other products, they remain dormant in their natural environment until they reach their
destination.
Garden of Life also assert that none of their Primal Defense capsules contain FOS
(fructooligosaccharides) which is a form of sugar that is indigestible and known to cause digestive
problems in some people.
