DrFormulas Nexabiotic Advanced Multi Probiotic Digestive Supplement With Lactobacillus Acidophilus And Saccharomyces Boulardii 60 Capsules

I was taking Phillips Colon Health for about a week until I ran out of them. I decided to switch to the Nexabiotic because I'd had it in my cupboard. I'd tried it before but I wasn't sure about its efficacy. I've been using it for 10 days now and it's improved my bowel movements dramatically. It's definitely helped.

After three weeks of taking this probiotic, I feel better than I have in quite some time, and I'm so glad I found it. I've been having digestive issues for about a year and a half, and my doctor ordered a few tests to explore the cause. While a couple of the tests came back normal, some of my blood test results were slightly unusual but didn't point to any specific diagnosis and could indicate multiple conditions. I didn't want to immediately begin taking prescription meds and requested to try other options first. I had been taking a probiotic for several months, but as a start to further exploring the root of my ills, one of my doctor's suggestions was for me to try probiotics with three specific ingredients. She said that many probiotics contain one or two but not all three of the ingredients she cited, and sure enough, that turned out to be the case for mine. I didn't really want to buy and take multiple pilIs and was unable to find anything with all three ingredients through national/local pharmacies until I somehow stumbled across DrFormulas Nexabiotic in my online research. It appears to be the saccharomyces that was missing from my former probiotic that is included in this particular blend that has made a difference for me personally. I was hesitant to buy anything ingestible from a company that doesn't sell its products in stores and isn't nationally known, but I did a little research and decided to take the leap. I used to feel bloated and icky randomly for hours on end some days, with my abdomen making some crazy noises from top to bottom, with no clear connection as to what might be causing it. Other days I felt just fine, so I figured I had developed food sensitivities to a lot of things I've always eaten (dairy and certain veggies, mostly) and would just have to cut out a lot of foods I enjoy or deal with the repercussions. It's hard to say I felt better instantly after taking this, because my issues were already sporadic, but if it didn't work instantly for me, it worked within days. It also doesn't have an odd smell or taste and doesn't make me nauseous when taken on an empty stomach like many vitamins and supplements do. While we're not at the end of the journey of diagnosing my specific condition, three weeks into taking this Nexabiotic, I feel normal again most days and with most foods I eat, and when I do have any symptoms, they are very minor compared to what they were before. I have tried to cut back on sweets a little (a little), but I was already doing that anyway most of the time before taking this, so I'm not sure if that has had any effect on how I feel as well. I started out by taking this Nexabiotic at night, but I've found that it works best for me taken on an empty stomach with water first thing when I get up (usually around 4am during the week). I usually don't eat anything (and almost never have a big breakfast) until 2-3 hours afterward, but even if I take it shortly before coffee and a light breakfast snack, it seems to work well and last through the afternoons when I had been having so many issues. I've already bought a second bottle to take to work for days that I might forget to take it at home. In my opinion it's well worth the money from my HSA. DrFormulas Nexabiotic has not entirely eliminated my issues but has significantly reduced my symptoms, and the ones I still have on occasion are much more manageable and less severe. I look forward to seeing my doctor again in a couple months to continue exploring my health condition, and I suspect DrFormulas Nexabiotic will continue to be part of my daily regimen from now on.

I have tried many probiotics over the years, and this one is a powerhouse. I highly recommend it. To save money and give your body an effective dose, I suggest making your own yogurt. Boil the milk, then let it cool to around 100°F. Add one or two of these capsules to one gallon of milk and keep it in the oven with the light on for about 24 hours. You'll end up with a high-quality yogurt rich in beneficial bacteria. One of the best features of this particular brand is its Bifidobacterium, which is especially beneficial for the large intestine.

I read the book of Dr David Pearlmutter "The Brain Maker" and he recommends 5 strains. This is the onbly probiotic that contains all of them including the one most missing in other well regarded brands, the Lactobacillus Brevis. Somebody said nexabiotic changed the formula, but they're all here on this one.5 most important strains are:Lactobacillus plantarum: Found in kimchi, sauerkraut, and other cultured vegetables, this bug is one of the most beneficial bacteria in your body. It survives in the stomach for a long time and performs many functions that help regulate immunity and control inflammation in the gut. It also helps fortify the gut lining, fending off potential invaders that might compromise the intestinal wall and sneak into the bloodstream. In fact, L. plantarum's beneficial impact on the gut lining is perhaps its most important attribute, for it reduces gut permeability, thereby reducing the associated risks for leaky gut-including an increased risk for virtually every brain disorder. Moreover, L. plantarum can quickly digest protein, and this has the ultimate effect of preventing food allergies and even treating such allergies when they arise. Its been shown in experimental animal studies to protect engineered mice from having clinical symptoms of multiple sclerosis and even reduce the inflammatory response typical of that condition. Finally, L. plantarum has an uncanny ability to absorb and maintain important nutrients such as brain-friendly omega- 3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. All of these actions make L. plantarum essential for fighting infection and taking control of any pathogenic bacteria.Lactobaccilus acidophilus: L. acidophilus is the darling of fermented dairy products, including yogurt. It keeps the balance of good vs. bad bacteria in check and in doing so, aids your immune system. In women, it helps to curb the growth of Candida albicans, a fungus that can cause yeast infections. L. acidophilus has also gained fame for its ability to help maintain cholesterol levels. In the small intestine, L. acidophilus produces many beneficial substances that combat pathogenic microbes, including acidolphilin, acidolin, bacteriocin, and lactocidin.Lactobaccilus brevis: Sauerkraut and pickles owe a lot of their benefits to this bug, which improves immune function by increasing cellular immunity and even enhancing killer T cell activity. It's so effective in combating vaginosis, a common bacterial infection of the vagina, that it's added to pharmaceuticals used to treat it. L. brevis also acts to inhibit the effects of certain gut pathogens. Perhaps best of all, it has been shown to increase levels of that all-star brain growth hormone BDNF.Bifidobacterium lactis (also called B. animalis): Fermented milk products like yogurt contain this gem, which is well documented to have a powerful effect on preventing digestive ills and boosting immunity. It's also known to be helpful in knocking out food-born pathogens like salmonella, which causes diarrhea.Bifidobacterium longum: Just one of the 32 species that belong to the genus bifidobacterium, this is one of the first bugs that colonize our bodies at birth. It has been associated with improving lactose tolerance and preventing diarrhea, food allergies, and the proliferation of pathogens. It's also known to have antioxidant properties as well as the ability to scavenge free radicals. In laboratory mice, B. longum has been shown to reduce anxiety. Like L. acidophilus, B. longum also helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.I hope it helps/Rita
