15 Questions
Why did you choose this?

Been using it for years

like the product

Been taking this for years. Haven’t had a cold since I’ve been taking this.

My dogs take one capsule a day.

Is this pro biotic good for patients with IBS-D?
I also just finished a 2 week supply of Xifican, will this restore healthy bacteria?
What are the exact ingredients of the PB 8?
Do you find you get best results taking PB8 on an empty stomach or with food?

Best Answer:  I have only taken it on an empty stomach. That is how acidophilus is supposed to be taken.

Would you say this product is good for PREVENTING (not curing) Vaginal Bacterial Infections, UTI and Yeast Infections?

Best Answer:  This product is good for keeping the natural bacteria in your body and candida in balance. I found taking this product along with a good cranberry product kept urinary bladder infections away.

when is the best time to take this product?

Best Answer:  Just like everyone here, I take it first thing on an empty stomach - I remember hearing that many years ago. If I feel I need extra support - especially after a course of antibiotics - I'll take a second one at midday.

Is there any reason this probiotic couldn't be used in a feeding tube? I have used other meds in capsule form for my daughter by taking the capsule apart and mixing the contents in water.

Best Answer:  Hi Michelle, Yes, I think it is a very good idea to give your daughter PB8 in her feeding tube. Just a reminder: probiotics are affected by stomach acid which surges in response to food, so if you can give it about 20 minutes or more before feeding time, that will help her even more. The best times for me and my family is first thing in the morning or last thing at night when the stomach is empty. It's probably a good idea to start slowly with just one (or less) capsule and gradually build up to a more therapeutic dose.

Does it really take the drugs out of your system?

Best Answer:  I have never taken it for that purpose. I take it to improve my immune system and my general health. I do find that if taken with 2000 mg vit C and one PB8 every two hours that I stop the getting of flu and cold simptoms when they first start to appear. Norma

how does this product compare with enzmatic acidolhilus pearls?

Best Answer:  I have found this product to work much better than the pearls. Have used PB8 for years with great results!

What is the best way to take this, on an empty stomach or does it not matter?

Best Answer:  I take mine with food as I’m wanting to help digest my food. I eat a little then take PB8 then finish meal. Either way works.

I only want 3 of this product. How do i subtract the extra ones?

Best Answer:  Since I do not work for Vitamin Shoppe and I'm only a fellow customer, I am going to assume you are online and trying to remove one from your Cart. Go into the cart and see if you can edit the cart and remove one of the items. Hope this helps!
