Raw Probiotics 5-Day Max Care - 400 Billion CFU - Probiotic Powder for Digestive & Immune Support - Banana, 5 Servings

I used to work in a vitamin store and sold this often. Mostly everyone came back.Thanking me for this product. It's important to have probiotics in your gut, but when you take antibiotics, killing them, you lose good and bad. This tasteless powder replenishes your probiotics in a few days! I definitely recommend this product.

Wonderful product

I have used this multiple times throughout my life. It is a good stomach reset. I recommend this to anyone who struggles with digestive issues.

UPS just dropped it off, I pick it up and the package is hot to the touch. Open it up, it's got a layer of padding (hot), then the icepack which is warm to the touch, then the probiotics box with the plastic jar of probiotics powder inside. The plastic jar itself was warm to the touch. Not a good sign, especially since this is supposed to be a high concentration raw probiotics powder for mixing. Update: I contacted the seller and they are aware that this happens during transport. They say the manufacturer of the probiotic actually overloaded it to begin with so that the 400B live cultures potency is guaranteed. Adding a star for the quick and knowledgeable response. Without a laboratory or some way to test this, I did the next best thing: I went to Whole Foods and got another jar out of their probiotics section (it was sitting in a fridge). Exact same product, down to the expiration date of 9/2020. Going to take the one that arrived hot, see how it goes. Then take the one that was refrigerated at Whole Foods, see if there is any difference. Will update in a couple of weeks. Update 6/19: Uploaded a picture, so the one on the left is the one I bought on Amazon and the one on the right is from Whole Foods. You can see they are identical, exact same Lot# and same Exp date. Having gone through the bottle I bought from Amazon and most of the bottle from Whole Foods, I make the following observations and update my review to 4 stars: 1. Both bottles gave a boost to digestion and overall intestinal wellness. I did feel better taking the recommended daily dosage and the effect on digestion and mood was noticeable. Pretty sure this is not a placebo effect. I was pretty annoyed when the bottle I bought on Amazon arrived hot, was kinda wondering why they didn't just put two of the coldpacks in there or at least make the one they packed bigger. 2. Speaking of which, the only difference I noticed between the two was that the one from Amazon was a little harder to stir into warm water. It was more clumpy. Of course, there's no way to know if the live bacteria numbers differed dramatically due to one arriving hot and the other being refrigerated pretty much the whole time (unless Whole Foods didn't refrigerate it before putting it out for customers), all I know is that the effect of taking the recommended daily dose from both bottles was about the same. 3. It tastes fine, actually goes pretty good with water, tea, coffee, or pretty much any drink as long as it's warm. You might have even more trouble with clumping when stirring into a cold beverage. Overall this is a good product. No big complaints, the only thing is they should pack the shipment with more or bigger icepacks. Even if the bottles are preloaded with a higher concentration of good bacteria than advertised, I and I'm sure other customers who understand this stuff a little bit just don't want to get any probiotics in a container warm or hot to the touch. Was the clumping issue enough to warrant one star off? Not sure - if I could give it 4-1/2 stars I would. Update 2 (6/30): Placed yet another order with iServe for this product. Their customer service is extremely friendly and attentive, and after hearing about the probiotics package being hot they shipped with two ice packs! When I got it, the packaging and icepacks were hot again but the probiotics bottle itself was more or less room temperature, which is better than the first time I ordered. Probiotics are living organisms and if you can keep them refrigerated until use you absolutely should, but room temperature should be fine for a few hours in my estimation. Having gone through most of the second bottle I ordered here, I can say that the effects are very good on digestion, mood, and overall health. It allows me to eat spicy or fatty foods without having to worry about the aftereffects, and decreases some allergic reactions. Not a cure-all, and not expected since this product does not have some strains of probiotics that would naturally inhabit a healthy gut system (see review from debbie), but still a good product that enhances overall digestion and health.

This stuff basically appears to be just kefir turned into powder. Kefir DEFINITELY takes some more to up keep an maintain if u wanted to take that optimal route which I DO SUGGEST u do that and eat the grains. BUT when ur in a bind this is a LEGENDARY convenient option u will be very pleased and it helps with so many health problems that are caused basically by eating fake food with POSIONS in it meant to de populate us but that's a story in itself 8)))) I tottaly recommend this stuff in conclusion inless u wanna do Kefir types ect. Cheers 🤙👍🙋‍♂️

Seriously!! I’ve tried a handful of different probiotic products over the years, admittedly I started with the basic acidophilus at Walmart before I learned there was more to replenishment than a single strain. I’ve used 3?4 different advanced, complex probiotic supplements and really felt like I was just swallowing money without results. This...THIS!!! Is amazeballs!! Within 12-24 hours my gut feels sooo freaking happy!! I’m currently taking a second round (I use this post antibiotic replenishment) and it is again amazing!! I had been using one of the GoL shelf stable probiotic products, higher end for their stuff, and have to say I didn’t feel like it was helpful at all. After finishing this product I will be moving to one of the GoL temperature protected products moving forward. Haha. The shelf stable products may Work well for others but not for me personally. Back to this product...shall we say, movements are so smooth and effortless, clean enough so as not to actually ‘require’ TP, although I still waste a tree to be sure. I’m not one to be constipated but there is a distinct difference between a good probiotic deposit versus non-probiotic supported. And having just finished antibiotics for a first time, hopefully LAST, diverticulitis episode, top shelf probiotic supported movements from here out are a must!

Works great. Fantastic and has helped me considerably with my gut issues. Would recommend to buy from Swanson Health, the distributor. Others take to long to arrive once shipped

Garden of Life 5 Day Max care is a great product that I've become reliant upon aiding with digestion. Thank you for the timely deliverance of this product as it requires refrigeration. What could be an improvement is to be delivered in a sturdy box instead of a plastic mailing bag and or reinforced envelops. Upon arrival, I noticed the powder penetrated through the lids seal into the red box it's sold in. Thank you...
