Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What are probiotics and why do I need them?
A: 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. 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 modern lifestyle. When your intestinal lining is occupied by healthy beneficial flora, it deprives unwelcome microorganisms of both space and nutrients.
Q: What is Primal Defense® Ultra?
A: Primal Defense® Ultra is a probiotic formula that contains a unique whole food blend with Homeostatic® Soil Organisms (HSOs), that help support the normal gastrointestinal balance of good and potentially harmful bacteria to help maintain a balanced, healthy internal environment.
Q: How many live organisms per serving does Primal Defense® Ultra provide?
A: At the time of manufacture, one capsule of Primal Defense® Ultra contains 5 billion CFU (Colony Forming Units).
Q: Why do you include young cereal grass juices in Primal Defense® Ultra?
A: The grasses form the base of the product and the carbohydrates found in the young cereal grasses have a “prebiotic” function. Prebiotics are indigestible carbohydrates that stimulate the growth and activity of the beneficial bacteria of the intestinal tract.
Q: Does Primal Defense® contain fermented ingredients?
A: Yes. Select ingredients (grasses) in Primal Defense® are produced through Garden of Life’s proprietary Poten-Zyme® fermentation process to make nutrients more available to the body.
Q: What is the source of the iron in Primal Defense® Ultra?

Q: Are there any contraindications or warnings for Primal Defense® Ultra?
A: As with any dietary supplement consult your physician before using this product, especially if you are pregnant, nursing or under medical supervision. Individuals who are immuno-suppressed should not use this product before consulting with a physician.
Q: Does Primal Defense® Ultra require refrigeration?
A: The probiotics that are made by Garden Of Life do not need refrigeration because they remain dormant in a dry state and only activate when they become moist. This process begins when they are ingested and so activation will begin in the gut. If the products are refrigerated the probiotics may become moist, and possibly activate before being ingested. Store in a cool, dry place.
Q: Is Primal Defense® Ultra suitable for vegetarians and does it contain dairy?
A: Primal Defense® Ultra is 100% vegetarian. It does not contain dairy and is free of artificial colors and preservatives.
Q: Is Primal Defense® Ultra gluten free?
A: Although we cut the grasses while they are young, before the gluten head forms, due to the large number of ingredients that we use from a variety of suppliers we can not absolutely guarantee that it is free of trace amounts of this protein. Safety is our primary consideration.
Q: What is the shelf Life of Primal Defense® Ultra?
A: Primal Defense® Ultra has a 3 year shelf life.
