Vitamin Bounty Pro-50 Probiotics And Prebiotics Supplement With Thirteen Strains And Fifty Billion Organisms For Men And Women 60 Capsules

As someone who's struggled with chronic digestive illness for the last decade - diagnosed with severe UC at 16yrs old and went thru 2 major surgeries which left me with permanent complications - I've tried virtually every product on the market to get my various symptoms under control and improve my immune system function. Most probiotics are sadly quite expensive, take a long time to get any results, and don't seem to really do much, at least for me. When I stumbled across this product, I decided to give it a shot since the reviews seemed pretty positive. Well I'm glad I tried, because my entire health has overall improved in just 1 month! I did have about 3 days of minor gas/bloating, which is to be expected when first starting this type of treatment. It might be due to taking only 1 per day at first, only increasing to 2 after a few days. It didn't last nearly as long as previous probiotics I've tried. After my body adjusted to it, I started to feel a lot better - not just my digestion, but I had more energy and my appetite returned (I had been losing weight due to tummy trouble). I believe the fermented greens are the key ingredient which makes this product stand out from the crowd. I'm definitely going to continue taking this so long as it keeps helping! I would also recommend a 2nd product for anyone with similar autoimmune and/or digestive issues: it's called "EpiCor" and it's available on Dropy too. It's another daily supplement developed to improve immune function by increasing "good" gut bacteria. It's also formulated from fermented ingredients; in this case it's fermented yeast, which is considered a "whole food" due to its naturally high nutritional profile. My partner and I have been taking it throughout the 2019-2020 flu season, and even though we both forgot to get our flu shots (oops!) neither of us got sick this year, and my partner works as a pharmacy tech so he works around sick people every day. It seems that fermented foods have a lot of potential for improving immune function and overall keeping folks healthy ;)

*** Update from August 20, 2019 ***Pro 50 worked all right. These days, I use another excellent economic option for maintenance: Code Age, Gut Health. The label says 3 caps a day but I only use one in the morning with my pea protein shake. Does the trick. I also used their SBO probiotics initially and it worked very well - similar or possibly better than Pro 50.Another addition to my diet: apple cider vinegar (ACV). Seems like fake medicine... But after years of pushing back on the idea of drinking "just vinegar", which sounds so simple it would have no incidence on my digestion, it turns out a couple of spoons of AVC a day mixed 1:3 with water seems to do make everything more solid when my digestion seems to accelerate after I eat something harder to digest...*** Original Review from February 20, 2019 ***I was diagnosed with SIBO-D a few years ago. Lost over 30lbs at first (180lbs down to 150 and possibly below). I was treated with antibiotics early on and now watch my diet closely (not by choice - my gut will punish me if I don't): mainly no diary, no egg, limited/no wheat. I won't digest properly without probiotics so these are literally vital for me. I am now at 160+lbs and stable. Otherwise very healthy and athletic.With pro 50 i feel finally just the way I was before getting sick... including during bathroom breaks. And at the gym too. Amazing product. I still avoid diary and egg at all costs.To be clear: This is the ONLY thing that has worked. Pretty much fixed me within a week (besides for diary and egg which seem to be no go for the rest of my life - fine with it). Noticed positive effects right within the first day. I am finishing my first bottle and ordered a new one for maintenance.It's also by far the most economical option.For those interested (I wish I had that list instead of spammy website garbage lists) Probiotics I tried in order of effectiveness:1/ Pro 50 (this one) by and FAR the most effective2/ prescript assist *in combination with* atrantril = near perfect results3/ DR axe *in combination with* atrantril = satisfactory results but still at times some minor troubles.---------BELOW THIS LINE ARE THOSE THAT HAVE NOT BEEN EFFECTIVE MAKING THINGS WORSE AT TIMES4/ megaspore5/ anything from Jaro (best one by far is the ideal bowel support - rest is garbage)6/ mostof the regular crap on a cvs shelf - don't even bother. Garden of life, now, ultimate flora, generic pharmacy brands, etcSide note: Atrantril is not a probiotic. It s a formulation that prevent the growth of some of the strains that harm you and your digestion. It works but as soon as you stop taking it, everything comes back. With Pro 50 I only took it once early on when I went a little crazy on the food and maybe it was a little too early on and threw my gut balance off. I can now afford to eat without pretty much ever taking atrantril and only pro 50.Atrantril is worth a try if you have fairly diee symptoms or are going thru a flare up but also expensive - especially when compared to pro 50. With pro 50 you might not need it at all.I kept on skipping it thinking it was another cheap and likely worthless probiotic. Well... my mistake. I hope others can benefit from it.Hope this helps those with SIBO/IBS and other digestive troubles!

My husband and I were experiencing digestive issues with nausea a part of our everyday life. We constantly followed our meals with alka selzer to sooth our stomach. We are not overweight and we make a strong effort to eat organic and healthy but this wasn't enough.After extensive research we went in search of a Probiotic to introduce positive bacteria to replace the alka seltzer for a more healthy and natural solution. After trying several Probiotics we almost gave up. Then we discovered PRO-50 was TIME RELEASED to deliver the proper dosage, it was packaged in a GLASS BOTTLE which preserves the potency, and the SOFT GEL capsules are easily digested. All these things are necessary in order to absorb the supplement.After 2 days of taking PRO-50 we were shocked with the wonderful results. We never imagined we would ever feel this good again and especially so quickly!!! Our digestive issues were gone!! No more alka seltzer, no more constant nausea!! We will never be without PRO-50!!! It is the best thing we ever did for our health and it was so easy. Everyone should know how powerful this supplement is and how it can allow you to enjoy life every single day!!!! Thank you Vitamin Bounty for making it possible to enjoy life again!!!
