I have tried so many probiotics over the past year due to frequent yeast infections and imbalances. Spending loads of money on pills, gummies, and anything else that claimed to work- I found that this probiotic has been by far the BEST probiotic I have ever tried. Beware, though, if your body is not used to high dosage of probiotics, it will be like a laxative!<br />At first, I thought I was taking a laxative and did not understand what was going on. Then, I realized that this probiotic was so strong that it was cleaning out my system. I'm going to get a little graphic here so I apologize in advance, but it was working like a laxative for me and I had loose stools. I was wondering why, until I inspected my stool. It turns out that I have PARASITES in my guts!<br />I am so thankful for this product for cleaning my system out and helping me find a solution to my constant health issues. I am always preaching probiotics! Now I am preaching Garden of Life probiotics.

Our 1.5 year old healthy black lab was found one morning gimping painfully on 3 legs. The dog would not move much and growl if you touched her bad leg. With no reason for the trouble we waited until the next day to see how she was: MUCH WORSE! The dog did not move, moaned and was in severe pain. My wife called a friend who is very smart when it comes to animals and natural health care for humans. She insisted it was Lyme's (I agreed) & suggested giving the dog this product, mixed in some raw meat. Just as the friend said, our dog was up and limping again in just six hours. About 50% recovered the next morning, 75% the next and 100% recovered the next day. We could not believe it! I am a chiropractor with not a drug in my house for my family of 8 in the last 10 years, and yet I did not know about the power of this product! It saved me a couple hundred dollars to a vet! On top of all this, the dog's eyes have been bloodshot and goopy every day for over a year. That cleared up 90% as well. I am amazed! We just ordered some for the humans in our family as well.

Our vet recommended this product for our Doberman (yes it is for humans but dogs like it too...and cats) and this was to rid him of this constant diarrhea he had as a puppy. Before we got turned onto this product, Rhett would have explosive episodes and neither of us were getting much sleep at night. If he could not get outside fast enough, it was clean up on isle 9,10 and 11. The quintessential hot mess. His runs would clear up and then suddenly explode once more, any bit of excitement or something different for dinner, what have you. I know that this MUST have been THE reason they ditched this beautiful boy at the shelter. We are so happy to have him in our lives. Primal Defense has helped our boy's digestive system, replenishing his gut which had clearly been depleted with the general Western Medicine things like antibiotics and the like. Rhett is 8 years old now. After this product, there were no more accidents in the house. Gut health is the foundation, for all of us. I know this stuff works because of the miracle it did for our boy.

After a looking through a lot of products, I decided on this soil based probiotic. The taste is slightly earthy and a little gritty but I honestly don't mind. The flavor could easily be covered up with juice if it bothers you. After I started taking this product, I experience die-off for a about 3 days (bloating, gas, headache). Though unpleasant, die off is a result of harmful bacteria dying and is a very good thing. After those 3 days, I noticed my stomach issues improved from before taking the product and it has helped me resolve my yeast overgrowth which has not returned even after going on vacation and eating poorly for a month. It appears it was just what my body needed! I believe it helped with healthy, long term flora colonization and I don't really feel I need to take it anymore but I'll keep it around in case of stomach-bug, illness or antibiotic use that depletes healthy flora.

I've spent mega bucks on probiotics over the years, but still have not been able to eat fruit or carbs because they caused pain in my abdomen. I could feel a difference after taking Primal Defense the first time. I take 2 times a day and am able to eat fruit and carbs again. I consider it a miracle!!

It's soil bacteria, which is hard to find in stores. It comes with its own teeny little scoop. It will make your beverage look like it has dirt in it, so be prepared. It has no discernible flavor when added to a beverage.
