Highly recommend!
I highly recommend these probiotics! I'm a healthy young adult and am taking these probiotics to boost my immunity. There are a lot of probiotics out there, but a few have been research proven to actually help increase immunity, and this product has them. Because it has fewer kinds of probiotics, it has more of the ones it does have, making it very effective. Since I started taking these probiotics, I have noticed myself getting sick less often and much less severely, even when I've been exposed to people who are sick.

Have trusted the quality of Mercola supplements for over 2 decades.
Fructo-oligosaccharides are chains of plant sugars. They are taken from asparagus, Jerusalem artichokes, and soybeans or produced in the laboratory. People use these sugars to make medicine. From web MD google it. Have tried multiple prands of probiotics over the years and followed Mercola for over 2 decades. Don't agree with everything but when it comes to health supplements how they are made and how to eat for best health i have found him ussualy years ahead of the common crowd and most of…

Found Relief!
I bought these probiotics on a chance they would help solve an ongoing situation I was experiencing with digestive issues. I was already taking digestive enzymes but still having issues, so about 3 weeks into my first bottle of once daily Complete Probiotics I was feeling so much better! I would say overall my regularity and feeling of calm and well being has been a winning situation. I do have to watch my diet because I am sensitive to certain foods but I felt that my gut had really gotten…

Absolutely Zero Effect for Me
I have been using these daily for over a month and have been horribly constipated. I’m not sure if the shipping method or being left out on my doorstep in the heat has ruined the product, but it has been completely ineffective!

fructooligosaccharide, not bad in this product.
Fructooligosaccharide is in this product because of its prebiotic effects. FOS serves as a substrate for microflora in the large intestine, increasing the overall gastrointestinal tract (GI Tract) health. Studies have shown that FOS and inulin promote calcium absorption in the human gut. The intestinal microflora in the lower gut can ferment FOS, which results in a reduced pH. So we can see that this has nothing to do with sweetness, it's needed in the product, DE. Marcola is a brilliant Dr. that we can trust, I wouldn't know the right or wrong supplements put into my body without him.

very dissapointed
I am taking Probiotics to help fight the bad bacteria in my gut, and promote the good bacteria. I was unaware of a certain additive when I purchased this bottle. One of the things that FEEDS the bad bacteria is SUGAR, in the form of Fructooligosaccharide. Which Dr. Mercola has decided to put in this product. Why would a PRO-biotic need an artificial sweetener added in there?? We don't need the pills to taste sweet! So this product FEEDS the bad bacterias, as well as the good one... BIG FAIL!

best probiotics I have tried

Is the best

Works well with me

Used before, reliable company

Is it still beneficial if you only take 1 capsule which would be more than the probiotic I am on now?

  Absolutely for me. I take one every morning before eating or drinking anything other than water and i know it when i stop taking for too long.

  yes

Vote for the best answer above!

Could anyone tell me what the expiration date is from a recent purchase? AND OR: Is it a shorter time period than buying on Dr. Mercola's website directly?
How long have you taken this product? When did you first see results after starting the product?My main issue is my gut. I'm 43 yes old and nothing has helped to lose it. Will this product help in losing my gut.Thank you,Eddie

  I can't imagine that this would help in getting rid of a gut. I don't know what is causing the gut, but a good guess would be that DIM might help that. Good luck to you.

  Eddie,Upon recommendation from my physician I have taken this product every morning for 2 years. It seems to help keep the good bacteria in my gut active to help with digestive issues I have had for years which include bloating after eating, abdominal discomfort & loose bowel movements - sometimes involuntary. I also take digestive enzymes made by Life Extension. They are very effectiveif when taken with a meal. A gastroenterologist can help sort out the cause and treatment for you. A retired R.N.

  Product was recommended by a friend. Told me his sister has been taken it for years due to weight issues. He takes it too and has no gut so I'm considering trying the product.

Is this a time release capsule?

Best Answer:  No.

Does this help with heartburn? I see one person said it does but want to be sure... my fiance needs heartburn relief for good.

  I didn’t take this for heartburn and do not have heartburn. Y daughter has had great heartburn relief from digestive enzymes. Highly recommend both enzymes and probiotics.

He's been on Enzymedica enzymes so we'll try adding probiotics. I just ordered him Hyland's Indigestion and Enzymedica Acid Soothe so we'll try those first though. Thanks for your response

  I’d say it helps with the GI balance and you can see the difference after couple of months, but it definitely is not a complete heartburn relief.

  I have no idea. Sorry.

Does this help with heartburn? I see one person said it does but want to be sure... my fiance needs heartburn relief for good.

  If you take this supplement and avoid foods that cause heartburn eventually your heartburn will gradually go away as long as there is no other underlying issues. Another great product in combination with this is NutriCology ProGreens every morning on a empty stomach it’s amazing. As far as this product you can’t go wrong with Dr Mercola’s supplements.

Thanks for your quick response, Tania. Trouble is, he can't tell what is causing heartburn as it comes up randomly; sometimes from a full stomach, sometimes just from a sandwich. Seems to get triggered sometimes from lying down even if it's a few hours after eating. He's been taking Enzymedica digestive enzymes but it hasn't really helped. Maybe the probiotics will help. I just bought him Enzymedica Acid Soothe to see if that can help and Hyland's Indigestion as well. Hmm...

  I do not find that Probiotics help with heartburn.

Vote for the best answer above!

Can you take while pregnant?

  Yes, absolutely it is safe. Probiotics are very important while you are pregnant. Check out the Body Ecology website for more information on probiotics. I think everyone should be taking them.

  Our Daughter-in-law took them the whole time she was pregnant. Her Dr. thought it was a good idea & they have a healthy Baby Girl
