Primal Defense 90 vcaps Garden of Life

1. The Science of Whole Food

Your body was created to eat, process, and derive its nutrition from food—real, healthy food.  So, when we create our products, we start by looking at food. What is the “good stuff” in the highest quality food that we are missing in our diets? Which of those foods have the greatest potential to impact—and empower—extraordinary health?

2. Clean is healthy

We start with what goes IN our products—true, whole food ingredients. But we don’t stop there. We also pay very close attention to what we keep OUT of them.  And once again, we look at food—real nutrition food. When is the last time you picked up an apple, turned to read the ingredients, and saw a list of chemicals?  If it’s not in your food, then we don’t want it in our supplements.  We use the following third-party (never self-affirmed) certifications to prove we are clean!  Click on them below and see.

3. Traceability

Traceability is key to what makes Garden of Life’s products so special. Traceability starts with knowing where each and every ingredient in our products comes from and getting to know each and every source: where it’s grown; the farming practices; how they pay and treat the farm workers—everything.

That’s why it’s so important to start with Certified USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified fruits and vegetables that are grown without these chemicals. We want to get the good stuff from foods that are grown without any of the bad stuff.

We do it because it’s the only way we know to deliver on our promise of Empowering Extraordinary Health

Garden of Life is always seeking to develop new and improved products. Research on probiotic nutrients has advanced since the original formulation of Primal Defense, which has supported the health of numerous consumers. They keep abreast of this research and felt that there was an opportunity for an improved Primal Defense. While they believe that Primal Defense ULTRA is a superior product, and it is what Jordan Rubin now uses; they will continue to make Primal Defense available.

Did you know that Jordan Rubin was 19 years old when he was struck with Crohns disease, the abnormal inflammation of the small and large intestine that causes the gut wall to thicken, making it unable to absorb nutrients? Jordan Rubin was a healthy and robust teen until that time. He went from 180 pounds all the way down to 104. He was almost starving to death because his body was unable to retain and absorb the nutrients essential for life. Jordan Rubin tried everything from conventional medicine to alternative medicine. He spent thousands of futile dollars during that time. He describes how he felt trapped in a prison of his own body. It was then that he discovered that some of the best remedies in nature for health come from the earth.

Jordan says that if you feed your gut what it needs to be healthy, your brain is able to function better, stronger and smarter. That is something he discovered with his near-fatal bout with Crohns. It left him delirious at one point. However, once he started feeding his body the good bacteria (probiotics) and enzymes needed, he began to recover. This is the foundation behind Garden of Life's digestive aid products.
