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.
