your food came from soil untouched by pesticides, herbicides and other
widely used chemicals. To replenish the valuable probiotics our
pasteurized, irradiated and disinfected food no longer provides, Primal
Defense includes 12 species of hardy beneficial microorganisms in the
form of the HSO Probiotic Blend. Let the unique HSOs in Primal Defense
take you to a new level of total health.
What are probiotics and why do
I need
them?
Probiotics are
beneficial
microflora that play a critical role in maintaining good health.*
Healthy human intestines contain billions of both good and potentially
harmful microorganisms. The good bacteria in the intestines are
considered to be an integral part of normal immune system support.
Probiotics are important because they can synthesize certain vitamins
and short-chain fatty acids to support a healthy intestinal lining and
bolster immunity.* When your intestinal lining is occupied by healthy
beneficial flora, it deprives unwelcome microorganisms of both space
and nutrients.
Healthy people usually have a ratio of approximately 85% good to 15%
potentially harmful organisms in the intestinal tract. In some cases,
even those who appear to be well might have an unfavorable ratio as a
result of daily exposure to environmental toxins and a modern
lifestyle. For example, taking antibiotics or drinking chlorinated
water may change the optimal microbial balance essential for good
health.
Garden of Life believes that probiotics are most beneficial when they
are not separated from their food source. Primal Defense, unlike
isolated probiotic products, contains fermented whole foods and
multiple strains of beneficial probiotics in the form of the
Homeostatic Soil Organism Probiotic Blend.
What are HSOs and where do they
come
from?
Large scale use of
pesticides, herbicides and other chemicals has changed the bacterial
balance of the soil. In order to obtain the benefits we historically
acquired from consuming foods cultivated in healthy soil, Garden of
Life developed a Homeostatic Soil Organism Probiotic Blend utilizing 12
species of beneficial microorganisms.
What
can occur if I don't have
enough beneficial bacteria?
A lack of beneficial bacteria
in your diet can result in an unbalanced internal environment and a
lack of support for your normal immune system function.*
What
is the difference between
Primal Defense and other probiotics?
Primal Defense is the only
probiotic containing 12 species of hardy beneficial microorganisms in
the form of the HSO Probiotic Blend. The ability of the probiotics in
Primal Defense to support the normal healthy flora balance in the gut
is not based solely on CFU count, but also on their ability to
withstand harsh conditions in the digestive tract such as stomach acid
and bile. Primal Defense also contains naturally occurring substances
that function as prebiotics.
If I'm
healthy, how can I benefit from
taking Primal Defense?
Total health begins in the gut, so an
optimized digestive tract
has a plethora of health benefits. Primal Defense contains probiotics
that support healthy gut flora balance, promote regular bowel function,
and maintain a normal immune system all of which are necessary to
support overall health.*
The probiotics in Primal Defense maximize the benefits of a healthy
diet by supporting normal absorption and assimilation of nutrients in
the gut.*
