Pro-50 Probiotic - 13 Strains, 50 Billion CFUs

*** 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 effective 2/ prescript assist *in combination with* atrantril = near perfect results 3/ 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 TIMES 4/ megaspore 5/ 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, etc Side 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!

I've been suffering from Oral Thrush for over 3 months now and was in desperate need of a good probiotic. What made me choose Vitamin Bounty's Pro-50 was the fact that it is one of the few probiotics that contains both Lactobacillus Acidophilus and Lactobacillus Rhamnosus. Both of those strains are very good at fighting Candiad infections or overgrowth. It has defiantly improved my digestion; it has made me more regular, and it doesn't leave me bloated like most probiotics! They are larger capsules but are still easy to swallow, they are mostly tasteless, unless you leave it in your mouth a little too long before swallowing. But if you do the taste isn't bad at all just a little herbal. They also include a small amount (80mg) of prebiotic material to help the probiotics survive in your stomach. They do not require refrigeration and come in a nice dark amber glass bottle. So, you know the probiotics are staying fresh and alive. Overall, I'm very happy with this brand, most probiotics make me bloated and constipated, considering I have a very weak stomach. But this brand sits very well with me!

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!!!

Felt the effect immediately... may cause mild constipation, so start slow & build up your dose up to 2caps/day gradually.
