Re: Primal Defense

That info about primal defense and it's ability to actually colonize in the GI tract comes from the distributors of primal defense and their nutritionist. This is from one of their info sheets:


"How Do HSO 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. HSO multiply in the intestines and actually compete with harmful bacteria for receptor sites, crowding out the pathogens and taking their place. Once ESTABLISHED, the organisms quickly begin producing the proper environment to absorb nutrients and help to re-establish the proper pH.

Most traditional probiotic supplements can have a hard time implanting in colons that are pH imbalanced or have too many harmful bacteria. HSO can IMPLANT in any colonic environment."


From what they tell me as well, the maintenace dose is for keeping the colonies healthy and flourishing, not because they pass through.
