InnovixLabs Multi Strain Probiotics for Women & Men - Probiotic Supplement - 50 Billion CFU - Gut Health, Immune Support, Digestion, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Prebiotics and Probiotics, 60 Capsules

I had a bout with cDIFF due to an antibiotic given to deal with MRSA and was on Vanco for 2 weeks (These doctors don't warn you of the consequences and didn't recommend probiotics or florastor to start which cost me a 4k ER visit (after insurance) that would have used to cost $100...Thanks Obamacare!). The ID told me to take a probiotic and eat yogurt. Well within a week of being off the Vanco and eating more Chobani in a few weeks than I have probably eaten in my whole life and a cheap CVS probiotic that had one strain and low culture count, the diarrhea was returning as well as other wonderful symptoms of cDIFF. I did some research (Thank you to those that do objective reviews!) and found this product to be highly rated and reasonably priced. I also purchased (http://www.amazon.com/Multi-Strain-PROBIOTIC-InnovixLabs-Broad-Spectrum/dp/B00X4U2NDK?ie=UTF8&redirect=true&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2) and have used these in combination. I started taking each twice a day and started seeing benefits within a few days. After about 2 weeks. I backed down to 1 of each daily. With 2 each daily my poop was pretty good and with one I start to have some issues, so maybe I'm better on 2 a day. As we all know, we all respond differently to medications and dosage. In Any case, I would say this combination is effective against cDIFF and would wholeheartedly recommend the combination if you are going to be on any antibiotics that can effect your intestinal tract. Not going to call them miracle pills, but I think I do have a little more energy overall and have likely been fighting infections for a long time which take a toll on the body and immune system. For the price of doctor visits and ER visits these days, I would think this cheap insurance, especially if you have to be on a course of antibiotics. If you have digestive issues, I would also recommend giving this a try before going to the doctor....if it is going to help you, it would seem you should see benefits within a few days to a month.....if it doen't help, then you probably need to get help from a professional. I'm not a professional so like all doctor's say on their phone line: IF THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, THEN HANG UP AND DIAL 911 AND SADDLE YOURSELF WITH A 8K BILL (FOR 4 HOURS FOR A FEW BLOOD DRAWS AND TESTS, AN X-RAY, CHECK MY DIARRHEA FOR cDIFF AND 2 LITERS OF NORMAL SALINE TO HELP WITH DEHYDRATION) AND THOUSANDS FOR AN AMBULANCE RIDE (fortunately my wife was available so I didn't have to pay for an ambulance this time so I got a bargain this time):-) My bottle arrived with pills packed with a little cotton if I remember correctly. The pills are "chalky" so there might be a little powder residue in the bottle. Not a deal breaker in my book. Hopefully Amazon will have some sort of cooler service for the hot desert summer to keep these pills viable till I can get them in my fridge.

I believe that all the antibiotics I was given as a kid and a poor diet later on in life have combined into a very real problem with my digestion. To try to alleviate problems, my doctor prescribed an enzyme to me and I decided to add probiotic foods to my diet after reading up about the GAPS diet. I wanted to see if it'd really make a difference or not for me. I generally stuck to milk kefir in this time (Lifeway), which is sold at the premium supermarkets and sometimes even Aldi, and is available at Costco. I also sometimes had kombucha, yogurt, and raw cheese. I noticed after a pretty aggressive regimen with kefir (it has 16 strains), I have been able to eat some of my trigger foods without as severe a repercussion as when I started this. Now keeping in mind I have already spent 6+ months consuming probiotic foods, so my gut has had time to take to introduced bacteria and become altered for the good... When I took the first pill after I got the bottle, I felt it working after 1-2 hours deep in my gut. I thought I was going to have explosive diarrhea with how much was going on, and truthfully, I have had that problem in the past with other products... but I didn't. It was just an urgency to go brought on by the probiotic, which makes sense since the majority of feces is dead bacteria and I'm trying to kill bad bacteria. Now I'm on day 5 and I still feel the difference from taking it, deep in my gut. My cravings are down. When I avoid foods that I am aware of my intolerance for, it reduces bloating, for the most part. I do sometimes have gassy moments if I eat anything starchy, but I'd probably have those anyway to some degree due to how bad my digestive system has gotten. I definitely have more bowel movements than before, which is good because I read that 3+ times per day is what we should be looking for. The smell is a bit more pungent than before, but human excrement is supposed to be the most potent of all excrement anyway. Eating more vegetables can help. I gave some to my roommate and he insists it doesn't do anything for him, but he also doesn't eat a healthy diet. He has many of the same problems I do with food allergens/intolerances, so hopefully continuing to take them will help, but if he fails to eat enough food for his body to function, I'm sure he will never see any results. He really won't see results if he continues to eat the things that he has intolerance for. This is the gentlest probiotic I've ever taken, so that might also account for his lack of reaction to it. Here's to someday being a true omnivore once again.

good

I cultured this probiotic in yogurt to test that is alive. Results were great! Recently I've been doing a lot of research on strains of Probiotics. All the "star" strains are in this product. I can see the selection if strains were thoughtfully crafted and engineered into a stellar product that is a steal for what you are getting. Take advantage of the study this company has done and benefit from its hard work and accomplishment. Wishing everyone well on their healing journey. Thanks also to this company for doing their part in helping those who want to participate in healing their bodies.

Been taking this for over 10yrs and every time I try something new or go off of it I find myself going back like an old boyfriend you can't shake ;) lol It's truly the BEST, has all the key strains and just makes us feel better. I talked to the developer on the phone once when I 1st started taking it because there was an issue with Amazon not releasing its stock and he was trying to get to the bottom of it... he was awesome. We had such an informative conversation about the product and why it works, he was soooo nice and really knows his stuff. This is the only one that clears my daughter's skin and heals our gut. I promise not to stray again. Lol

After trying various brand of probiotics, this is the most effective. Not only to me but also effective to my family members.
