It works!!!
I have used Primal Defense for many years. Since then I have very little gas or stomach issues. My doctor told me to use a probiotic and I chose this one while in a health food store. It works so why try something else? I have recommended it to several friends and they are happy with it too.

Rough Start, But Smooth Moving Now!
For the first few weeks, i was experiencing a lot of gastric distress with these probiotics. I had never actively taken probiotics in the past, so I figured this meant that they were working. Now that my body has stabilized to them, I am noticing more regular "movements" and indigestion has been less. Am I ready to start taking two a day? Who knows. Thanks for helping me to improve my gut health!

Does this product contain broccoli?
A shopper

Best Answer:  The write up says it is gluten free but I wonder since barley contains gluten?

Lisa R

A shopper
Is this gluten free?
kathryn s

Best Answer:  vegetarian and gluten free are not the same. gluten free is as stated. etc. thanks though

kathryn s
how many do you take per day?
A shopper

Best Answer:  To get the 15 bn you have to take three a day, each giving 5 bn. I take one in the morning and one at night and am fine with it. Actually wouldn't recommend taking more than one a day until your body acclimates. I don't swear by much but think this is an excellent all-around health item. Healthy gut = healthy person.

Thomas G K
how do I store it.....?
A shopper

Best Answer:  I store mine in the refrigerator. I think it was one of the best health decisions I ever made, to take these probiotics. Hope you find the same.

Yvonne S
Does this product need to be refrigerated?
Julie H

Best Answer:  Hi, this is Julie H, the person who posted the question. Thank you all for your responses. I decided to also contact Garden of Life customer support and here is their response: "Thank you for your email and interest in Garden of Life's products. The probiotics used in our Primal Defense formulas 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 once opened the probiotics may become moist, and possibly activate before they are ingested. This goes for all of our Primal Defense formulas. Please store the Primal Defense in a cool dry place such as a kitchen cabinet/pantry."

Julie H
Is this safe to use everyday?
A shopper

Best Answer:  Like with any probiotic, use and adjust based on your condition. Too much can cause bloating, so you need to give your system time to adjust. Garden of life offers great quality, but like with any supplement, always try and see how you feel. You may decide to take it every day or once a week. Remember that everyone's digestive system is unique.

irina s
Does this probiotic have inulin or milk product?
A shopper

Best Answer:  The capsules are vegetarian. I do not see inulin anywhere on the label, but I am not familiar with it. You may want to Google "Garden of Life" to make sure.

Cheryl R
can a 12 year old take these?
A shopper

Best Answer:  They are the strongest. I see no reason why not. Not sure why you want a child to take but if not a medical type issue and just general health save money and get the regular ones.
