InnovixLabs Multi Strain Probiotics for Women & Men - Probiotic Supplement - 50 Billion CFU - Gut Health, Immune Support, Digestion, Lactobacillus Acidophilus, Prebiotics and Probiotics, 60 Capsules

I cultured this probiotic in yogurt to test that is alive. Results were great! Recently I've been doing a lot of research on strains of Probiotics. All the "star" strains are in this product. I can see the selection if strains were thoughtfully crafted and engineered into a stellar product that is a steal for what you are getting. Take advantage of the study this company has done and benefit from its hard work and accomplishment. Wishing everyone well on their healing journey. Thanks also to this company for doing their part in helping those who want to participate in healing their bodies.

Been taking this for over 10yrs and every time I try something new or go off of it I find myself going back like an old boyfriend you can't shake ;) lol It's truly the BEST, has all the key strains and just makes us feel better. I talked to the developer on the phone once when I 1st started taking it because there was an issue with Amazon not releasing its stock and he was trying to get to the bottom of it... he was awesome. We had such an informative conversation about the product and why it works, he was soooo nice and really knows his stuff. This is the only one that clears my daughter's skin and heals our gut. I promise not to stray again. Lol

The product itself actually gets five stars. However, this is the second time I purchased this, and the first time everything was fine. But this time, several of the pills were broken in the bottle. Since one of the reasons I purchased this probiotic is because they are enteric coated, broken pills nullify that. If pills are broken the next time I order them, I'm afraid I'll have to switch to another product. At about a dollar apiece the loss is too expensive to continue. update: I raised the stars because of the response from the company regarding my criticism. Also, after reading many of the reviews, I just don't know; they sound so scripted. I certainly haven't experienced any weight loss or extra energy or anything else. But I really am happy with the effects this has on my bowel movements (firmer, and cut incipient constipation in the bud, I have thyroid issues.). I can't see taking this every day, so maybe I'll cut down to every other day. I have tried another probiotic in place of this, and was not nearly as happy. This is all just so confusing.

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.

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.

This is my third round of these probiotics and we love them. I don't remember them being this color. They are usually lighter. Has this happened to anybody else?

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!
