Probiotic G.I. - Probiotic Blend to Support Healthy Immune Function Within the Gastro Intestinal Tract* - 60 Capsules

On the advice of a Dr friend we started taking this probiotic. As seniors hubby and I have had serious long term upper respiratory concerns the last 2 years. Not this year. That's all in the past since we've taken these. Best medicine ever.

Pure encapsulations are just that: pure. So glad we found this line of products. My daughter and I have the MTHFR mutation, plus celiac and food allergies that include corn and soy. Our ingredient limitations mean it can be hard to find supplements and we really need probiotics and methylated vitamins. My husband, who also has some food allergies, got c.diff. after multiple rounds of strong antibiotics. The Pure Encapsulations probiotics plus a Solgar probiotic (listed below) are really helping. We intend to push probiotics heavily to lower the chance of c.diff. recurrence. (We also add in some homemade fermented foods, such as sauerkraut.) We use Pure Encapsulations for methyfolate, methylcobalamin, and multiple probiotics. No adverse reactions at all! Absolutely fantastic! For fighting C. diff: While 40 days of Flagyl beat back the original C. diff, it threatened to return, and only massive amounts of probiotics drove it away completely and has kept it away. Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Saccharomyces boulardii are the two major probiotics proven scientifically to fight Clostridium difficile (C.diff) specifically. Advanced Multi-Billion Dophilus from Solgar is a must. This one of the very few probiotics I found that contained Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, and it's the purest if you have a problem with food allergies. http://smile.amazon.com/Advanced-Multi-Billion-Dophilus-60-VegCap/dp/B00028M4I6?ie=UTF8&ref_=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_10 The following are Pure Encapsulations brand - high quality and pure: Saccharomyces boulardii (if you order from Pureformulas.com, it will come refrigerated) Lactobacillus Sporogenes (also spore-based) http://smile.amazon.com/Pure-Encapsulations-Lactobacillus-Hypoallergenic-Refrigeration/dp/B002HY63TO?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage Probiotic G.I. http://smile.amazon.com/Pure-Encapsulations-Probiotic-Function-Intestinal/dp/B003GCGM0Q?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage Between these various probiotics, we get a tremendous coverage of a wide range of probiotic strains. I had also used prescription probiotics, but I believe these work more effectively with a much wider coverage than the prescription probiotic (which was very limited in coverage and did not include Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG or Saccharomyces boulardii).

I take number of supplements made by this brand and I have always been happy with them This one is Probiotic and I take one in the morning and one in the evening with Kefir as and it noticeably improved my gut. Without going in to too much detail - I see the difference and will continue to take it for another month, Prebiotics are generally recommended when you take Probiotic, so eat more salads and possibly add something like Psyllium Husk Caps to help the process. Tablet size is pretty small and easy to swallow. This is a much more expensive product, but from my research it is a better product and is worth the cost.

I am not 100% loyal to any brand at this point - except Bio Kult - I keep that in my rotation - mostly because I find it controls my sinuses - This brand is a good one and I like it but I don't have any reason not to keep skipping around for a second "for sure" product.

I gave this item three stars because it indicates that it should be refrigerated, but this is the second one I ordered that was warm when I got it. It’s packed very nicely in an attempt to keep it cold, but the very small and thin paper cold pack doesn’t last long enough to keep it at least cool. Don’t know if anything is still alive, but I’ll take it like I took the last one I ordered. This bottle is the last one I’ll purchase even though I like Pure Encapsulations products.
