PRIMAL DEFENSEÔ ULTRAZORBEÔ CAPLETS

Nature's First Probiotic

Primal DefenseÔ has been awarded the Diabetes Resource Center's "Seal of Approval" as a beneficial food for diabetic consumption. 

What is Primal DefenseÔ
Primal DefenseÔ
is a natural whole food probiotic blend of HSOsÔ (Homeostatic Soil Organisms) designed to optimize the health of the human digestive tract and immune system. Primal DefenseÔ is produced using the Poten‑ZymeÔ process and the Microflora Delivery SystemÔ. Primal DefenseÔ contains the same nutrients that have been used for thousands of years by some of the healthiest and longest living people in the world.

Why do we need Primal DefenseÔ?
Beneficial soil and plant based microbes used to be ingested as part of food grown in rich, unpolluted soil. However, for the last 50 years we have been sterilizing our soil with pesticides and herbicides, destroying most bacteria both bad and good. Our modern lifestyle, which includes antibiotic drug use, chlorinated water, chemical ingestion, pollution and poor diet, is responsible for eradicating much of the beneficial bacteria in our bodies. A lack of beneficial microbes often results in poor intestinal and immune system health, contributing to a wide range of symptoms and illnesses. The following symptoms may result from a lack of probiotics:

  • Gas, Bloating and Indigestion
  • Diarrhea and/or Constipation
  • Bad Breath and Body Odor
  • Candida Yeast Infections
  • Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia
    Frequent Colds and Flu
  • IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
  • Skin problems such as Acne, Eczema and Psoriasis
  • Delayed development in children
  • High Cholesterol Levels

What are HSOsÔ(Homeostatic Soil Organisms)?
The main component in Primal DefenseÔ is the HSOsÔ, which have been used for over 22 years by thousands of health practitioners. The naturally occurring colony arrays of probiotics are non‑mutated from the original cultures found in unpolluted soil and plants and are now cultured in U.S. laboratories using the discoverer's proprietary methods. The HSOsÔ are in a substrate of nutrient rich superfoods providing vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and proteins. The probiotics are then made dormant using the Microflora Delivery SystemÔ, which protects the probiotics and delivers them directly to the GI tract where they multiply and flourish.

How do HSOsÔ Work?
Impervious to stomach acids and the digestive process, the microorganisms move through the stomach to the intestinal tract where they form colonies along the intestinal walls. HSOsÔ multiply in the intestines and actually compete with harmful bacteria and yeasts for receptor sites, crowding out the pathogens and taking up residence. Once established, the organisms quickly begin producing the proper environment to absorb nutrients and help to re‑establish the proper pH. According to early research and anecdotal evidence the following is a summary of the actions of HSOsÔ.

What is the difference between Primal DefenseÔ and other Probiotics?
Even if they manage to get through the destructive stomach acids, most probiotic supplements can have a hard time implanting in colons that are pH imbalanced or have too many harmful bacteria.

HSOsÔ are designed to implant in any colonic environment. The Microflora Delivery SystemÔ makes sure that the probiotics colonize throughout the digestive tract where they can work their magic. The probiotics contained in Primal DefenseÔ are grown and incorporated into a living whole food substrate using the Poten‑ZymeÔ process. This puts the bacteria into their home, if you will, allowing them to thrive on their long journey through the GI tract. Most probiotics on the market today will grow bacteria and then, in a centrifuge, separate them from their substrate. We believe the substrate is as important as the probiotics themselves. Many probiotics have included fructooligosaccharides (FOS) in their product. FOS is an indigestible sugar that may cause digestive disturbances in certain individuals. Primal Defense contains no FOS. Since most probiotic supplements contain live cultures, they are temperature and age sensitive; therefore requiring refrigeration.

If room temperature can begin to degrade these probiotics, imagine what the warm human body will do. The HSOsÔ are dormant in the caplet and activated by fluids. Primal DefenseÔ requires no refrigeration. Many probiotics on the market measure their potency in colony forming units (CFU). In Primal DefenseÔ, it's not the quantity of probiotics, it's the quality. The probiotics in Primal DefenseÔ are hardy and are designed to resist heat, cold, stomach acid, chlorine, fluorine, ascorbic acid and bile. The efficacy of a probiotic should be based upon the ability of the product to "on ferment" foods. If you want to test the viability of a probiotic product,simply drop a few caplets in 2‑4 ounces of milk and leave at room temperature for 24‑48 hours. If the probiotic is viable, the milk will change to a thick yogurt‑like consistency. This measures the ability of a probiotic to produce enzymes and break down or pre‑digest food. If a probiotic cannot pass this simple test, do you think it will be capable of doing it's job in your body?

What are Physicians saying about Primal DefenseÔ?
"I use quite a bit of Primal DefenseÔ for tough cases of bowel toxemia and irritable bowel syndrome. My patients like it, and I attest to Primal DefenseÔ being a superior product for gut metabolism." James Privatera, MD

"Almost all people who consult me for the care of irritable bowel syndrome, candidiasis, Lyme disease, or infections get their gut flora changed to healthier consistencies by my prescribing Primal DefenseÔ for them. I am invariably using one of the lactobacillus preparations, and the HSOsÔ of Primal DefenseÔ are the top of the line, the ŒCadillac' of lactobacilli." Seldon Nelson, DO

"For many years now I have been involved in alternative medical care and integrated medicine. In the search for effective, safe remedies, I am constantly reviewing product claims and anecdotal reports. More often than not they fail to meet my expectations, that is, except for Primal DefenseÔ. This product generated the most affirmative response I have ever seen." Charles Hamel, MD

Two Primal Delivery Systems
Primal DefenseÔ
comes in two easy to use forms: Powder and UltraZorbeÔ caplets. UltraZorbeÔ caplets utilize a proprietary technology which requires no heat and fully preserves the delicate probiotics and enzymes contained in the product. UltraZorbeÔ caplets are designed to provide rapid disintegration and dissolution to completely deliver the nutrients in a timely fashion. Just drop a few caplets in water and see for yourself.
