What this phase does

Defend is the maintenance phase — and the phase most customers stay in once they reach it.

Defend is the maintenance phase — and the phase most customers stay in once they reach it. A monthly rhythm of probiotic refills, the Nourish stack continuing, and the Incubator for at-home yogurt culture.

Defend isn't an end-point. It's the running protocol of someone whose gut works. The reason the brand has a six-product monthly subscription bundle is that most reset customers convert to it within ninety days.

Customers in Defend report a particular shift: gut work stops being a project. The box arrives, the rhythm continues, and the ecosystem holds. That's what the phase is for.

Where to start

Defend is one phase.
The protocol is the sequence.

Most customers begin at Mineralise or Establish; some join at Nourish, post-reset. Complete Maintenance is the bundle that anchors Defend — but where you start depends on where you are.
