Pro-Daily Probiotic - 13 Strains, 5 Billion CFUs

I have used different brands of probiotic medicines over the past few years. Some have created digestion issues and some have had not provided any comfort to me and some have been good but pricey. But this one has been effective on multiple levels - easy on my stomach, helped me to calm my digestion when I eat those "trigger" foods that cause havoc on my stomach and also pretty reasonably priced. Now, I can take this one per day and not feel that I am spending lot of money on my probiotics.

I've been suffering from mystery stomach issues for a few months now that cause me to get nauseous after and between meals. This probiotic was one of the only ones I took that seemed to help. I did some research before buying it and its got a nice blend of bacteria which is more important than having billions of just one. Its also dairy free so it won't irritate any of you with lactose intolerance issues. I'm only slightly lactose intolerant and was really suprised how crappy the Vitamin Shoppe brand made me feel. By comparison, this one causes no GI distress and again seems to help my digestion and calm my stomach. Best of all it doesn't need to be refrigerated which came in handy as I travel. If you're looking for a quality probiotic with a good blend of health bacteria, give it a shot.

My girlfriend recommended this product to me to increase the amount healthy bacteria I had in my stomach to assist with my seemingly frequent indigestion issues. Since I've started taking this product, I haven't had any issues and I feel fresher each day. I've also noticed that I'm getting better sleep! I would recommend this product to anyone looking to improve their digestion!

Let me start this off by saying that I am not a doctor nor claim to be. This is just my personal testimony. I recently just finished a round of antibiotics for bacteria in my stomach called H.Pylori. Before taking the antibiotics, I did some extensive research on the type of triple therapy I'd be ingesting and found out that people taking them can end up getting C.diff. My gastro never mentioned this to me at all. They only mentioned how I might get some diarrhea. C. Diff, which can be deadly, is different from getting "some bouts" of diarrhea. This is why people need to do their own research into their ailments than blindingly trusting a doctor who doesn't know you, but I digress. After reading many case studies about C. Diff and H.Pylori and asking my pharmacist about their thoughts on the matter, pairing a probiotic with an antibiotic can only help you and not hurt you. I even read that "Probiotic strains, such as S. boulardii, L. reuteri and L. GG, decrease gastrointestinal antibiotic-associated adverse effects, especially diarrhea. A reasonable amount of evidence exists that supplementation with S. boulardii is a useful concomitant therapy in the standard H. pylori eradication treatment protocol and most probably increases the eradication rate." In another study with 100 people with H.Pylori, "Lactobacillus acidophilus on standard triple therapy increased the eradication success rate." I would encourage you all to look into this and do your own research. I personally believe that pairing probiotics with antibiotics can only help. I decided on this probiotic because of the number/type of strains it had in it (the more diversity the better) and this was one of the few probiotics I was looking at where I was happy with the price and diversity of strains. A day before the bottle arrived at my house, I experienced the classic diarrhea symptom that accompanies C.diff (9th day of antibiotic treatment), I immediately started taking these probiotics and started have normal solid bowel movements. and still do even after my treatment. Moral of the story, do your own research.

I bought these probiotics/prebiotics after a doctor recommended them for my husband. No brand was specified, but I did my research and chose this brand. So happy that I did! My husband never had any issues with his bowels until he received radiation therapy for prostate cancer. during, and up to a year after radiation therapy, he developed IBS. He practically lived off of Imodium, with mixed results. His condition got so bad that he literally lost control of his bowels several times and soiled himself. We were fearful to even go out and eat; for fear of his having accidents! Eventually, he ended up seeing a GI specialist and was told that the radiation did indeed kill off all the good bacteria in his digestive tract --and he needed to replace it with probiotics and to add an Imodium daily. So this started my search!! I was impressed that this brand was designed so that the probiotic strains survive the stomachs acid and allows it to enter the small intestine where it is needed! It's been three months now, and he has improved tremendously! No more accidents! He rarely has to take an Imodium pill, also! I also started taking these because I drink diet sodas; and let's face it, those things surely must upset the flora in the digestive tract. None the less, I love them just as others do coffee. I highly recommend this brand to anyone that wants to get their digestive tract back on track! (lol! No pun intended!) We love them so much that we now have these on auto ship!

For the everyday person this works fine

After being on various antibiotics for years, my gut health has gone quite downhill. I was experiencing digestive issues and especially an increase in skin issues. I was looking around for a probiotic to try taking and came across Vitamin Bounty's Pro-Daily. After doing some research and reading through reviews, I thought I would give it a try. Now that I have been taking this probiotic for about a month, I can tell that my digestive system and overall health is in a much better place. I no longer have the issues that I did prior, and I look forward to continuing purchasing this product! Would definitely recommend!

These are good probiotics. Not problems. Easy to swallow.
