Puritan's PridePrebiotics for Men and Women Powered by Bimuno®, Dietary Supplement for Advanced Gut Health, Helps to Alleviate Bloating, 60 Rapid Release Capsules

We've used different supplements from Puritan's Pride for many years and have always found them to be of good quality and sometimes a little pricey but usually worth it. I've been taking a daily probiotic for the past few years and have been intending to start a prebiotic as well but just haven't gotten around to it until getting these.I wasn't sure what to expect and so I eased into them with one a day for a week and then moving on to two a day. Gotta say I feel less bloaty and seem to have a little more energy in the afternoons. Overall, I feel like it's working to balance my gut health and keep things all regular. I would get these again if the price is under $20 for a bottle.

For the last couple of weeks I've been having several issues with my stomach. These include gassiness, diarrhea, and a general feeling of discomfort in my tummy. Very shortly after I took the first of these Pride caplets, I could feel that sense of discomfort fading away. I was really hoping these prebiotics would make a significant difference. Alas, while they eased that sense of discomfort, they did nothing for the gassiness, nor the diarrhea. Given how those last two have persisted, after a week of taking this product, I can only conclude that these caplets are masking the discomfort without really healing anything.Then there is the price. At it's suggested dosage, these caplets would cost me $30 a month. Other prebiotics cost something like $7.50 a month. For an old guy living on a small pension, that is a massive difference. If these caplets were actually effective for me, I might try to eke out that amount every month, as best I could. Since these caplets don't really work that well for me, I'm not going to bother.I do have to add a couple of caveats to all this and explain why I am giving this product a neutral, 3 star rating. The first one is that human beings are not one size fits all. What works for me, may or may not work for you and vice versa. The second one is about the price. $30 a month is not a lot to some people while it can be a big deal to other folks. Read all the reviews posted here, good and bad. Look at your own financial situation, and decide for yourself if you want to try this particular prebiotic or not. I hope you find something that works for you. Stomach issues like these are not fun, not at all.

Probiotics are well known, but prebiotics currently don't have the same level of popularity. Prebiotics play an important role as a healthy food source for the beneficial bacteria in our colons. This Puritan's Pride Prebiotic supplement contains Bimuno, which is a GOS prebiotic combined with a a FOS prebiotic. Bimuno has been shown in a few studies to positively benefit the good gut bacteria and aid in overall digestive health. All in all, it sounds good and I've found it helpful for my overall GI health since beginning supplementation. But sadly, it requires 3 capsules per serving, which means there are only 20 servings per container. That is quite costly for a prebiotic. I think it is likely more advantageous to focus on getting more prebiotics from one's diet, such as by eating more fiber, than purchasing this product. But for some, it may be a worthwhile supplement.

Overall, I wanted to try these because Puritan’s Pride is a brand, I’m familiar with. I, in fact, have taken their probiotics before so when this prebiotic was up for review, I jumped at the chance to add it into my daily diet. After all, probiotics have served me well why wouldn’t I jump at the chance to give my probiotics a boost?Still, I don’t know that I would purchase these again. Don’t get me wrong, there are the usual upsides to purchasing from a brand name I know and trust. The pills are easy to swallow with no unspeakable aftertaste or funky scent to contend with (which my incredibly sensitive gag reflex appreciates.), but the serving size is what ultimately would stop me from purchasing these again.At 3 times a day with 60 capsules per bottle you would think that I could see a noticeable difference after taking these, but I’ve noticed little to no changes in my digestive system which led me to give this 2 stars.⭐ ⭐Puritan’s Pride is dependable… these prebiotics however, left much to be desired.

I never really took a probiotic supplement before, so I really wasn’t expecting much. But I could tell a big difference and just my gut health within the first two weeks of being consistent with the supplement. The price is right, it’s a great supplement to incorporate into your daily routine, and highly recommend picking this up if you have any sort of got issues and looking to improve the Microbiome.
