Vitamin Bounty - Pro 50 Probiotic - 13 Probiotic Strains, 50 Billion Organisms Per Serving

Highly recommend this probiotic. I have been taking it for a while now and will continue to do so. Also a huge fan of their other products!!

*** 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 effective2/ prescript assist *in combination with* atrantril = near perfect results3/ 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 TIMES4/ megaspore5/ 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, etcSide 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!

What I'm about to write doesn't even make sense to me, and it may even sound a little crazy, but this stuff was an absolute game changer for me. Over the past several years, I've had increasing difficulty with an ever expanding variety of foods. I would get bloaty and feel gross after eating anything greasy, most forms of dairy, and anything with garlic in it, among many other things. And the absolute deal breaker was after eating any type of meat off my smoker I would get really sick within 2 hours. I can't tell you how depressing that was. I love to smoke meat, and anything off my smoker really made me sick. I've tried other probiotics, digestive aids, and trying to adjust my diet, but nothing worked. I did some research after figuring out that my smoker was no longer an option, and to make a long story short, i was lead to believe I needed a couple of the strains of probiotic in this pill, so, with little hope, I gave this probiotic a try. My system took a few days to adjust, but definitely in under a week I noticed a huge difference. I haven't felt this good in about 8 years. It's been not quite 2 months, and I have no problem eating greasy foods, anything off my smoker, and just last week i went to a Mongolian place and loaded up on the garlic, just to test, and I felt awesome afterwards -I smelled funny, but that was a small price to pay not to be sick. I haven't been able to touch garlic for years without getting sick. Complete game changer.So here is my working theory. Over the past 8 years I developed a sinus issue, where I was getting sinus infections, about once a month for several years. Which meant I was regularly on antibiotics. I finally had a surgery to fix that issue, but my gut flora was all messed up. I tried other probiotics and yogurt and all that crap but nothing seemed to fix the issue. But this probiotic did, for whatever reason. I took the indicated 2 each night for the first 2 weeks, but now I feel like 1 a night does the trick for me just fine. So, in addition to fixing my gut health and allowing me to eat the foods I love again, here is the craziest thing: my addiction to Mt. Dew is gone. Weird, right? I know, this sounds crazy, but I've been addicted to Mt. Dew for a very long time. I just crave the stuff. have gotten off before, but I still craved it, even when I wasn't drinking it. And within a week of taking this pill, I suddenly don't have cravings for Mt. Dew. Absolutely insane, right? This probiotic has totally fixed my gut, and I couldn't be happier with this product. I hope this information helps if you are encountering similar issues. Good luck!

I used to have really bad cystic acne but this product totally cleared up my skin. Not only that, but it has helped my body to process foods that would have otherwise made my day a nightmare. Highly recommend

After a serious viral infection, I was suffering from daily digestive issues from indigestion & gas pain and daily diarrhea. Change in diet and other OTC probiotics weren't helping stop the issue and I was living on anti-gas and anti-diarrheal pills hoping for relief. I saw the high reviews for this product for these types of issues, and saw that it contained other bacterial strains that most grocery store brands did not. I decided to try it, and within a week, I noticed definite improvements, and my issues started to abate. I will continue to take this as it has definitely helped my system start to regulate again, and my discomfort is almost gone.
