What can I do to help maintain a healthy gastrointestinal environment?
The ingredients in Fungal Defense® are specifically designed to help you maintain a balanced, healthy gut environment.* In addition to taking Fungal Defense, you may consider discussing the following dietary changes with your physician: reducing or eliminating sweets; refined carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, muffins and glutenous grains; alcohol; vinegar; and aged cheeses. Good hygiene is also important to maintain a healthy microbial balance on the outside of the body as well as on the inside.
What are homeostatic™ soil organisms?
Probiotics are beneficial living microflora that play a critical role in maintaining good health.* Healthy human intestines contain billions of both good and potentially harmful microorganisms. The good bacteria in the intestines are considered an integral part of normal immune system support. Homeostatic™ Soil Organisms (HSOs) are a unique, highly stable species of probiotics that are impervious to stomach and bile acids. Healthy people usually have a ratio of approximately 85% good to 15% potentially harmful organisms in the intestinal tract. In some cases, however, even those who appear to be well might have an unfavorable ratio as a result of daily exposure to environmental toxins and a modern lifestyle. For example, taking antibiotics and drinking chlorinated water may change the optimal microbial balance essential for good health. The HSO Probiotic Blend in Fungal Defense helps support normal gastrointestinal balance of good and potentially harmful bacteria to help maintain a balanced, healthy internal environment.*
Should I use Fungal Defense® and Primal Defense® together?
No. Although Fungal Defense and Primal Defense share some common ingredients; Fungal Defense is intended to introduce your body to probiotic usage. For optimal results, use Fungal Defense according to the label for 14 days prior to starting Primal Defense.
Why is Fungal Defense® only recommended for 14 days?
Fungal Defense is designed to be used as a 14-day program before commencing Primal Defense.
What makes Fungal Defense® so unique?

Additionally, garlic juice and yucca juice in Fungal Defense are prepared through the Garden of Life proprietary Poten-Zyme™ fermentation process that makes nutrients more available to the body.
