Multi Strain Probiotics for Women & Men (60 Capsules) | Helps Supports Immune & Gut Health, 31 Probiotic Strains + Prebiotic Fiber, 50 Billion CFU, Non-GMO, 60-Day Supply

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.

I had acid reflux disease and was taking a prescription from my primary physician for it and the heartburn that I've experienced over the last 25 years after eating. I've been taking this probiotic for 3 weeks now and have been off on my prescription medication for over a week and I feel great. Before taking the probiotics, I could not miss a single dose of the prescription medication for my stomach or I would be in serious pain but not anymore. Thank you probiotics for your help.

I have tried other probiotic supplements in the past and never felt like they had any effect on my system at all. I ordered these when I had to take anti-biotics and they came highly rated on Amazon. I will say that I do think they had an effect on my dietary system. The first time I took them, I took an entire pill and my tummy was bloated and gassy for the entire day. So the next day I didn't take one and the day after I took half and the reaction was much less severe, but I could still feel it working. After a week of a 1/2 dose every day, I moved up to an entire pill every morning and my digestive tract does seem to be more stable. I have had my gallbladder removed, so I am always concerned about my digestion these days. Now that I have been off the anti-biotics for almost 2 months, I notice the effects of this supplement much less than when I was on the medication, but it still seems to help so I'll stick with them. Also, I felt that compared to other brands and choices available, these were a good value with alot of strains, and I'm amazed that I am just getting to the bottom of my first bottle almost 3 months after starting them. recommended.

After researching multiple probiotics, I chose Multi-Strain Probiotic by InnovixLabs this past January. My order shipped and arrived promptly, and after taking this for nearly 6 weeks, I can honestly attest that this product, and the company, has gone above and beyond any and all expectations! From the first few days of taking it, I could tell the difference in my gut health. I had tried other probiotics in the past, with less strains and mystical guarantees, and none perform like Multi-Strain Probiotic! The greatest selling points to me are: 1- the probiotic guarantees live cultures that can withstand stomach acid, which allows the product to get into the intestines and colon to actually do the work they are meant to do! Many others cannot withstand the stomach acid and thus render useless. 2- Innovix Labs guarantees the product is active through the date of expiration- which is different that through manufacture, etc. In order for all of the multi-strains to remain active and work to restore good flora in your gut, they have to be alive. The more strains, the better. 3- I had questions about the product and emailed Innovix Labs- to which I almost immediately received a detailed response that actually came from a human, not a canned generic response. I feel like they went out of their way to provide excellent customer service. 4- My body can tell the difference since I have been using this product. I have been "regular", although that wasn't really an issue prior to taking the probiotic either. I feel less bloated, and my overall sense of well-being has increased. I feel great! A couple of times (usually on the weekend) I have over-indulged or eaten a lot of processed foods, and have forgotten to take the probiotic- the next day I took one, a couple of times I took two pills, as I was so overly bloated, and within hours I could feel the difference. In general, probiotics seem to be expensive. If I am going to invest in one, I want to be confident that it is working and making a difference in my health and wellness. I feel confident that this product indeed achieves this goal. I am a lifetime believer in this product. There is also a mood enhancing probiotic from Innovix Labs I would also like to try. I highly recommend Multi-Strain Probiotic to anyone looking to invest in increasing their gut health and subsequent overall wellness! You won't regret it!

I have a 10 year old son who has extreme digestive issues, to the point that he has had a mri, scope, and multiple other tests over the past 4 years. We have been through too many gastrointestinal doctors to even name. Our sons problem had finally reached the point where we were referred to a psychologist as the only thing the doctors could figure was that his stomach issues (bloating, sever pain and discomfort, etc) must be related to something psychological. Well, after a $2,000 full psychological work up, the psychologist told us that our son had no issues... With all other options exhausted, I started researching several probiotic products (I was VERY skeptical of these products and had always considered them a "scam"). I ultimately found out about the Innovix Pharma product and sent an email to the company inquiring as to whether their product was safe for a 10 year old child. I didn't get a response to my email that day and decided to call their office that evening (I tend to be very impatient). When I reached a LIVE PERSON, I asked them if I could ask them a few questions, to which they agreed. I then proceeded to tell them a little about my son and they then asked if his name was Austin, which it is. The person on the phone said they were planning on calling me with a few questions and that they had been discussing my son and his issues! WOW! I was blown away! After answering a few of the gentlemen's questions, he advised that the product would in fact be safe for my son. I proceeded to order the multi-strain probiotic (still VERY skeptical of its effectiveness, but, impressed with the company and their attention to my son at this point). It turns out that the amount of antibiotics my son had to take at a young age for constant sinus infections were the suspected reason for his stomach issues. Once the product arrived I was concerned about the size of the "horse pills", but, our little man was able to swallow them without any issues. From that point, all I can say is that this stuff has been a miracle for him! His bloating, constant and severe stomach cramps, and general irritability (due to his stomach always hurting) has all subsided in the month that he has been taking these! As a parent, I feel very bad that I did not discover this product sooner and wasn't able to provide him relief until now, but, I am thankful that now he does feel "normal". Again, I cant say enough about this product and the life-changing effects it has had for my son. If you know ANYONE that has stomach or gastrointestinal issues, I highly advise you to spread the word and give this product a try. The years of pain, suffering, and constant doctor visits that our son had to endure break my heart, but, to see him feel "good" again has healed it quickly. Thank you Innovix Pharma for taking the time to talk to a desperate parent, and for making a product that has changed my childs life. May God bless you and your company!

I tried this based on the number of live cultures, the number of strains included as well as the guarantee through the expiration date. These are things you're typically encouraged to look for in a probiotic. This was the second brand I have ever tried and I was excited due to all of the above as well as the significantly lower cost than the previous brand I tried (ultimate flora). However, I haven't felt that it has helped my digestive track as much as the last brand I was using. When I tried the UF, I really felt a different in the first few days: being more regular and things running smoothly. I've been taking these for a while and I don't feel the same impact. However, from what I've heard, probiotics can also be very personal to your own body so this could work really well for you while another brand is good for me. But for now, despite the higher price for the UF brand, I think I will go back to that as I really felt the difference.

Probiotics seem to be the latest thing in daily supplements recommended for improved health. I understand the concept, which is (and this is my own layman's way of stating it) to improve gut health by introducing supplementary bacteria that are intended to either replace bacteria that are somehow reduced over time, or add new bacteria that will improve the function of the gut and overall body health as a result. The concept makes sense to me and for that reason I decided to add probiotic supplements to my daily routine beginning just over three months ago. I selected this particular formulation for a couple of reasons: - it includes 26 different strains, and they are clearly identified on the labeling of the product. As I note in the title to this review, the 26 strains include 14 of the 15 strains that the 'Perfect Biotics' product includes (I determined this for myself by going through in detail the listing of strains included in both products). Perfect Biotics is a product that is sold from it's own website and not on Amazon, and it has a very interesting and convincing video presentation that explains the reasoning behind the product and how it was developed. I listened to the presentation with great interest and then compared the formulation of their (much more expensive) product with this Innovix product, and was pleased to see that, with the exception of only one strain (Lactobacillus bulgaricus), the Innovix product is more comprehensive. - it includes 10 billion CFU (30 billion at time of manufacture, and 10 billion guaranteed at expiration). This also compares favorably to the Perfect Biotics product, which also states that it contains 30 billion CFU's but does not clearly state whether that is at the time of manufacture or the minimum guaranteed amount by the time of expiration. - I have used other Innovix products prior to this probiotic, and I have the impression that this is a reliable and trustworthy company for this type of product. I do not claim to be able to report improvements in my own health as a result of taking this product (I began taking this multi-strain probiotic, along with Mood Probiotic also produced by Innovix, just about 3 months ago, and take one capsule of each every day). My philosophy is to take the combination of supplements that I can best determine is helpful to my overall health, and then take care of myself as well through good diet and lifestyle as much as possible and practical. I do feel that my overall health is very good, and to the extent that these capsules are contributing to my health, I am appreciative.

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