Nearly 70% of the immune system is associated with the gastrointestinal (GI) tract through synergistic interactions with various bacteria colonies (flora) that reside in our GI tract to maintain its health and function. Imbalances in this gut flora—either an absence of beneficial bacteria or an overgrowth of unhealthy organisms—can interfere with our quest for optimal health. Abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, and a struggling immune system are some common outcomes of imbalanced gut flora. We are bombarded daily with antibiotics in our water, in our food, and in medications. This overutilization has contributed to a wide array of gastrointestinal problems, from IBS, SIBO, IBD, and autoimmune problems. The microbiome is considered by scientists to be an essential component to overall good health. Probiotics are naturally-occurring friendly bacteria that enhance the microbiome. Biotic Defense includes 10 strains of bacteria, totaling 50 billion CFU’s per capsule. The strains in this probiotic were selected to support those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity, and encourage healthy and timely elimination by acting as a natural stool softener, further encouraging a more complete digestion.
Biotic Defense is useful for:
• Digestive health*
• Supporting healthy elimination*
• Boosting immunity*
• Rebalancing gut flora*
• Recolonizing good microbes after antibiotic therapy*

After the media story on gluten cross contamination being found in many probiotics, I bought this supplement. Been taking it for two months now, and I love it.

July 7th, 2017 I began tapering off oxycodone after being on it for chronic, intractable pain for 10 years. October 9th, 2017 I took my last dose of oxycodone. That’s when the crazy diarrhea started. Took this product for the first time last night with dinner. This morning I had my first non- diarrhea bowel movement in a month. I’ll write another review in a couple of weeks but am already excited to see that after just 1 dose, I see a positive difference. Yay!!!

I like knowing there is no possible cross contamination. I also appreciate that there is no bacteria strain in this probiotic that my daughter has a sensitivity to, that gives peace of mind.

I’ve never been tested for or diagnosed with a gluten sensitivity issue, but have been looking for a reputable, clean, and effective the probiotic…is this still beneficial to take on a daily basis for the general population?

I have tried so many probiotics that were supposed to help my digestion but actually made it worse because of ingredients contained in them that I am allergic to. I’ve already felt a big difference using Biotic Defense.

Kim Matlock (verified purchase) –
I have two gluten-sensitive teens, one of whom develops painful, scarring cystic acne when exposed to gluten. After 18 months of Accutane did nothing to help him we began pursuing a different path and ultimately discovered gluten was to blame. Gut healing has been the cornerstone of repairing the damage and getting my kids healthy again. We switched to Biotic Defense a couple of months ago and have seen a tremendous boost in recovery. Biotic Defense has so many more strains targeted for people with gluten issues, and of course the peace of mind that I’m giving my kids something truly gluten-free is so comforting. Thank you so much for your products and informational videos. You have helped us so much and seeing my kids smiling again because they feels good and look good is the best Mother’s Day gift I could receive!

It appears to be helping with digestion and regularity. Noticeable difference when I stopped taking it for a month. It’s good to feel safe about ingredients being grain free. Only wish it came with a larger quantity.
Pamela (verified purchase) –
I have tried several probiotic supplements that I have not reacted well to. Biotic Defense has a wonderfully calming effect when I take it at bedtime. I open the capsule into a small amount of water and without stirring and drink. Not sure if this is recommended but it has worked for me.
