I know that Primal Defense is not popular around here. I'm not sure exactly why, other than maybe the fact that it is incredibly expensive. For those of you that don't know; Primal Defense is a sort of combination probiotic and algae/green thing. One of the really strange things about it (as a probiotic) is that it doesn't need to live in the refridgerator. Its claim is that its inventor (an MD, I believe) used it to cure himself of chrones disease. The more mundane reason to take it is to cure yourself of candidiasis.
Like I said, I know that it's not popular around here, but I had a little bit too much money so I decided to go through a cure-cycle of Primal Defense and see what I thought about it.
Here's the issue that bothers me. Looking at the label, it claims that it has iron in it. As a man, I've heard that iron is bad for us. When I first saw the line-item, I noticed that it said it had 13% of the iron RDA (2000 kCals). That didn't seem too bad, but then I read that you're supposed to take at least three caps a day (50% iron RDA), and preferably six caps a day (100% iron RDA) in the beginning.
Is 100% iron RDA something to worry about, or are the higher amounts of iron included in multis the problem?
