The Digestive Health Connection
All organs and systems rely on the health of the digestive tract. Proper digestion is essential for the body to absorb and utilize the nutrients it needs. In addition, 75% of the cells necessary for the immune system to function effectively are connected to the gastrointestinal tract.
Probiotics: Critical for Good Health
Probiotics (“Pro”= Positive, “Biotic”= Life) are living microflora that play a critical role in maintaining good health. Present in many live foods but destroyed by heat processing, live probiotic cultures populate the intestinal tract where they play a positive role in digestive and immune health.
Broad Spectrum Protection
Primal Defense Ultra is the ultimate broad-spectrum probiotic formula, made to provide 15 billion live cells¹ per daily amount and 13 species of beneficial cultures including soil-based probiotics called Homeostatic Soil Organisms (HSOs). Primal Defense Ultra nourishes and supports healthy intestinal epithelium lining integrity, the front line for the body’s defense system, and promotes healthy intestinal comfort and function.

This comes from a trusted brand and I’m using quiet a lot of products from this brand.
I can kuch for this probiotic and I must say extremely effective.
I started taking 1 capsule early morning on an empty stomach and had no issues.. After a few days took 2 caps on an empty stomach first thing in the morning and found it to be even more effective, incase your having a severe leaky gut issue then go as recommended for 3 caps daily probably 2 in the morning and 1 at night before sleep.
I’ve been doing probiotic for almost a year since I had a severe leaky gut issue. And I’m lactose intolerant. Started with culturelle, then nature wise multi strain which can be taken after food or empty soch as it is time release, and I found it amazing too, now I’m on garden of life and I’m almost treated with leaky gut, so I keep shuffling between 1 and 2 caps which suffices for me.
I also take 1 digestive enzyme cap before any protein shake or a heavy lunch, it really helps.
Today I feel so good and Healthy because of these American products, thanks to amazon too for bringing it to such a platform.

So I have been using these for months now & I think it is actually causing more bloat than anything. I definitely do not see a difference in any other way. To experiment, I gave them up for awhile & started feeling better. Trying these again to see if the symptoms return since it may have been total coincidence. Hoping so since I’ve read so many good reviews.

Every time anyone in household has the first signs of a respiratory infection, we take 2 caps on empty stomach with a glass of water, and within several hours, no more symptoms. If an infection takes hold, taking 2 caps helps resolve it much faster.
It helps with basic immune system readiness if used 1 cap once or twice daily on empty stomach with water, too. These help digestion and nutrient absorption, and help decrease bowel issues like IBS, Chron’s, diverticulitis, etc.
We’ve been very happy with these.

I truly believe that these Garden of Life Whole Food Primal Defense Ultra Probiotics are a good quality probiotic. Before taking these I had tried soo many different probiotics but for some reason none were working for me. When I found these I was excited because of so many good reviews.. So here is my experience with these probiotics: The first time I took them I had intense stomach pain.. I thought I would never take them again thinking that I just couldn’t take them… but after a few days and reading reviews I decided to give them another try. The next time i took them i noticed slight stomach pain.. but I kept on taking them considering that it may just be an indication that they are working ??and after about a week it seemed that my stomach and bowels were working much better than they had been. I’ve always taken 1 capsule a day for the past few months now.
So far my only issue has been that the past 3 bottles I’ve ordered were left in the mailbox and were very hot when I found them. I don’t think these probiotics are suppose to get hot?I guess I need to try to order during the winter only and not during the summertime.
Hope this review is helpful for you!???

There simply is no better HSO/probiotic made anywhere on the planet. My dad is 92 and I have had him on this product for 16 years. Arguably the greatest supplement ever developed.

I have have had anal tear for years. I would get bleeding and pain after going to the bathroom. My stool is still too hard even eating lot of fiber. Ever since I started taking primal defense twice daily, my still has become softer. With oatmeal daily in the morning as source of fiber, my anal fissure is healed naturally in about one month. I can feel save to take probiotic for long term instead of taking (LBS) which are pills as laxatives to keep my stool soft. High cook and raw food with high fiber, lot of water and ultra primal defense are the key to my anal fissure healing.

I started developing IBS during my doctorate education in computer science and had been suffering from it for 2.5 years. Doctors believed the pain was due to h.pylori and my gastritis problem. I spent so much money and time fixing h.pylori. And it was gone but the pain remained for a long time. It didn’t make sense to me and my doctor. Nothing was working. At one night, while I was having another attack, I decided to rub my belly out of options. It helped miraculously. For the first time in my life, I was able to stop the pain. Immediately went to the doctor after that. And my problem turned out to be IBS. He recommended me taking probiotics, and prescribed anti-depressant and gut movement slower pills, whatever name of it was. I used them a long time but they were barely patching it with all of the other side effects. I slowly stopped taking them, and the pain came back. Later, I switched to taking these probiotics pills every morning, and still taking them. No more IBS pain. It didn’t cure it completely so I have to take these daily but I am okay with that. My life changed. The other most important thing it did to me is to help me stop my sugar cravings. It worked like magic. TBH, I didn’t put any effort to stop it expect for taking these pills. And, I was not expecting any side effect like this. All I wanted is to stop the terrible IBS pain. I was a person who craved for sugar all the time. When I woke up in the morning, the first thing I used to do was taking a piece of chocolate. That is how far my cravings for sweets of mine went. Now I crave for soup, a nice meal, water, fruit, etc. like how an ordinary healthy person should feel like. Probiotics work. And I am taking 3 at a time but 2 works just as good. Now taking 2 pills in the morning with an empty stomach. It has been a long while since the last time I ate a chocolate and it was a tiny piece of a chocolate bar, and I didn’t really enjoy it as much as I used to. I am enjoying my home meals better and now can better focus on my job and doing amazing things at work.

These probiotics are the best! I’ve been using them for a few years and I can definitely tell a difference when I use them. If I take them consistently I notice a cleaner gut and even weight loss. I know this because once I stop taking them for awhile I start to feel heavier and bloated. This super size is very convenient even if you take the three a day like I do. It’s also cheaper if you buy it in this size.
