The Garden of Life Primal Defense is the leading whole food priobiotic that contains the Homeostatic® Soil Organisms (HSOs) commonly found in food that come from soil untreated by chemicals. This product contains an HSO Probiotic Blend that helps maintain a healthy and balanced internal body system. The 12 types of microorganisms contained in the blend help replenish probiotics removed during food's pasteurization, disinfection, and irradiation processes.

Probiotics are often referred to as the "good" bacteria. This bacterium allows our body to maintain its internal health and that actually does battle with the bad bacteria that are present. When this bacterium is at the proper ratio, the bad bacteria are deprived of both the space and nutrients that it needs to thrive. By doing this, the intestinal tract is able to maintain a high level of health.

Due to certain every day conditions of our lives, a person who appears healthy on the outside could be having intestinal challenges. Something as simple as taking prescription antibiotics or drinking water that is chlorinated can upset the internal balance. This is the perfect opportunity for someone to make use of the benefits of Primal Defense.

Primal Defense's Probiotic Blend balances good and harmful bacteria in the gastrointestinal system. These probiotics also help maintain healthy immune systems and promote regular functioning of the bowels. Nutrients are absorbed and assimilated into the stomach, maximizing the benefits of a healthy diet. Harsh stomach and bile acids are no match for the probiotics in Primal Defense.

Most experts believe that probiotics are most effective when they are used within their natural food source. For this reason, Primal Defense is made from fermented whole foods. Because of the special fermentation process that Garden of Life uses, it enables key nutrients to be available and absorbed into the body when using Primal Defense.

When comparing Primal Defense to isolated probiotics, the competition is over just about as soon as it starts. Isolated probiotics do not contain whole foods and are not nearly as effective in promoting a healthy intestinal tract. There is also the fact that they must usually be refrigerated, which can be an inconvenience for many people and a simple mental mistake can lead to a wasted product.

This particular product is available in a powder form and a caplet, for those who are already used to taking their supplements in this manner. When taking the caplets, it is important that they be taken on an empty stomach and with at least eight ounces of water. The powder form is also taken with water, but blended in and should be taken three times a day on an empty stomach.
