GENERAL FAQ's
What does HSO™ stand for and how is it different from traditional probiotics?
HSO™s (Homeostatic Soil Organisms) are a proprietary probiotic formula developed exclusively for Garden of Life®. HSO™s are unique in that they are naturally occurring colony arrays of beneficial microbes. Designed to implant in any colonic environment, HSO™s are impervious to stomach acids, digestive enzymes, changes in temperature or pH levels.

What are UltraZorbeTM caplets?
The UltraZorbeTM (Ultra-absorption) caplet delivery system is a revolutionary technology whereby all nutrients and ingredients used in that product retain their maximum nutritive content, viability, and "live" food properties. The UltraZorbeTM capletting procedure involves no heat, very minimal pressure, and is designed to provide rapid disintegration and absorption of each nutrient. Drop a couple of UltraZorbeTM caplets into water and watch what happens!

What is the Poten-ZymeTM process?
The Poten-ZymeTM (Poten-tiation by Enzym-atic activation) process is a proprietary process of natural lacto-fermentation and enzymatic predigestion within a matrix of carefully selected whole foods. It is similar in concept and function to the natural process which turns milk into yogurt, soybeans into miso or cabbage into traditional sauerkraut. The bioavailability and absorption of nutrients using this special process in increased from 2-5 times.

Why the switch from gelatin capsules to UltraZorbeTM caplets?
Traditional nutrient delivery by capsules, comprise 5-20% cellulose by volume. Capsules can also take longer for dispersion in the gut. Our UltraZorbe™ caplets utilize natural "wicking" agents that allow the caplet to quickly and completely deliver ingredients to the body. Weight and dosage can vary as much as 20% per capsule in any one batch of gelatin capsules. With Ultra-Zorbe™ you will get 100% delivery.

Is maintaining a healthy diet essential while taking your products?
It sure helps! The food concentrates and nutritional supplements from Garden of Life® are some of the most pure and potent sources of nutrients available anywhere, however they are still nutritional supplements. The better your diet the better your health results will be.

PRIMAL DEFENSE FAQ's
What is the bacteria CFU (colony forming unit) count per caplet of Primal DefenseTM?
We do not have to measure Primal Defense™ with CFU's. Traditionally probiotics are temperature, age, pH, and light sensitive and require very high (millions or billions) of CFU's per serving as most of the beneficial microbes die off prior to their colonization in the GI. The proprietary blend of HSO™s in
Primal Defense™ are unique in that they are "true" soil based, un-mutated, beneficial probiotics which thrive and remain "active" in virtually any temperature or pH level and will remain stable for years at room temperature. Primal Defense™ is probiotic powerhouse!

Can I take Primal DefenseTM with intestinal cleansing products?
Primal Defense™ is best taken as a "stand alone" foundational probiotic supplement. But can be taken in conjunction with other food-based or mild herbal nutritional supplements. As with any dedicated health program, it is always advisable to consult your physician or health care provider as he/she will be familiar with your particular health needs.

Is there a larger size of Primal DefenseTM? What are my options for purchasing the product, I am running low and want to continue the program?
Primal Defense™ comes in one size powder and caplet.

Will the Primal DefenseTM help improve the friendly bacteria in my intestinal tract?
Yes! Primal DefenseTM contains one of the most powerful probiotic (HSOTM) blends on the market. There are between 2-4 pounds of bacteria in the intestinal tract. Scientists estimate that there are more bacterial cells in your gastrointestinal tract than the entire number of cells in the rest of the body. For a healthy system it is critical to maintain a healthy "beneficial" bacterial count within your GI. Primal DefenseTM helps provide that. It is recommended that there be approximately 85% beneficial bacteria to 15% pathogenic bacteria in the GI. Most people have those numbers reversed!

What are the 14 strains of beneficial probiotics in the Primal DefenseTM HSOTM formula?
Lactobacilus Acidophilus Bifidobacterium Bifidum Lactobacillis Helveticus
Lactobacillis Brevis Bacilus Subtilis Lactobacillis Lactis
Lactobacillis Caucasicus Lactobacillis Bulgaricus Sacchomyces Boulardii*
Lactobacillis Fermenti Lactobacillis Caseii Bacillus Lichenformis
Lactobacillis Leichmannii Lactobacillis Plantarum
*Sacchomyces Boulardii is a lactic acid yeast that does not promote the growth of Candida Albicans.
 

I am currently taking acidophilus. Could I be getting too much beneficial bacteria if I start taking Primal DefenseTM as well?
It is very difficult, if not impossible to get "too much" of a good thing, like beneficial probiotics. The 14 strain HSOTM formula in Primal DefenseTM will only help and assist the other friendly bacteria you are supplementing.

Can Celiac or gluten sensitive people take Primal DefenseTM?
Yes, the cereal grasses in Primal Defense™ do not contain gluten; however tell everyone like this to start the Primal Defense™ with a low dosage of one per day for at least 2 or 3 weeks.

I am suffering from Crohns (Hepatitis, Cancer), what products would be best for me?
The foundation of our program is Primal Defense™ getting the GI track and especially the colon in good health. Also add RM-10™ adjunctive therapy.

How much of the magnesium sterate is in the Primal Defense™ Ultra Zorbe™ caplets?
The caplets contain less than 1% magnesium sterate. This is a very low amount in the product and we believe that it would not be biologically noticed.

Do anti-fungal's like olive leaf extract and caprylic acid interfere with Primal Defense™?
Primal Defense™ should be taken by itself. The olive leaf extract and caprylic acid taken at a different time should not compromise the growth of the HSO™ s.
