Doc –
It does exactly what it says. I researched what, when, where, how, why, and if I should I take Probiotics. I found that the minimum requirements for effectiveness is 50 billion and a minimum of 11 strains. A lot of products claim to meet those two guidelines. But when you look at the ingredients they have a list of stuff that has nothing to do do with Probiotics bottom line. A lot of scams out there with products claiming to be the real thing but they are full of herbs, vegetables, and other ingredients that are known only to them. If you want all those ingredients buy over the counter vitamins, which might be a lot cheaper. But you and me are looking at Probiotics for a reason. Remember to stay focused on that particular reason.I carefully compiled a list of over 125 products. Some had a few details on the ingredients and some had none. Yet, they all claimed to be Probiotics, which I quickly found out that it was not true. Anyway, if a particular product did not clearly list the required ingredients, I crossed it out from the list. Every product claims to be the best on the market. Don’t fall for it. One product at the time was scratched from the list, until I found the right one for me and my medical issues.I decided to buy Garden if Life Probiotic. I made this choice after pouring many hours on research, which needed to meet specific criteria: 50 billion and 16 strains. Anything less than 50 billion isn’t that effective for reaching my medical goals (see them listed somewhere else in this post).And of course, every ingredient that is contained in this product is clearly listed on the Amazon website. My doctor said that there was a lot of research on Probiotic products on neuroscience journals and how Probiotics could help me with my particular medical conditions, which the medical field had nothing else to to offer me. As a professional researcher, I had to get my hands, right away, on high quality journals on line. I read more than 15 articles from different journals. It took me a long time (over 2 weeks) because my cognitive difficulties (remembering, understanding, etc.). The research was well designed, the findings were consistent and they were well supported. If you feel the urgency to read research just go to Google and search for “Probiotics research on neuroscience journals.” From there you get to pick and choose from a huge selection of journals. It’s like a huge salad bar, with enough variety to satisfy anyone with an enormous hunger for information. It just doesn’t get any better than that.Note: Insurance companies do not cover this product. It really is a disappointment but not enough to discourage me give up on my search for a light at the end of the tunnel.Next is affordability. Since my goal is to consistently take it every day for many years to come, I needed to to make sure it was affordable. This product is a winner!!! Since I’m on a fixed income, I need to make sure that I wouldn’t go broke in the process of trying to reconnect with my cognitive abilities and, maybe even restore some of my memories. If nothing else, based on the research, I truly believe that I’ll be able to improve my cognitive skills and keep new memories. And that, ladies and gentlemen, IS THE BOTTOM LINE. The simple FACT is that I have been taking this product for just a few days and I can SEE SOME ENCOURAGING RESULTS. I wrote this post (a) without any hand written notes on the side to rely on, (b) without taking me for ever, and (c) without sweeting bullets connected with the frustration of not having a clue whether I was making any sense. Let me give you an example of how I feel right now. This is, indeed, like you are watching the Super Bowl game and your team is getting its asses kicked, badly (my doctors lack of resources to help me). You almost lose hope (will I loose my mind completely? how soon? What will happen to me when I can no longer think nor remember simple words or conversations with my loved ones?), but you don’t give up. You heart is full of faith thinking that something can be done to win the game. As hard as it is, and with very little hope someone makes the perfect play (my doctor studying Probiotics for years and recently recommending to patients who had similar problems like mine. According to my doctor he was getting encouraging results) and you come back from the brinck of despair. The last day of the season, on the last second you find yourself being a part of of the winning team. You feel like you were present in the stadium with your team players when you won the Super Bowl (my the help of Probiotics). And you feel like life is returning to you and your steps are lighter, quicker, easier, and you have all the confidence of the world. Life seems to be returning to your mind and the future looks full of new possibilities and new adventures. I CAN THINK, ENGAGE IN SIMPLE CONVERSATIONS WITHOUT GETTING LOST, AND THAT’S ONLY THE BEGINNING. I have faith that I am going to to have a great future. A future without fear. Please you all wish me good luck, and if you don’t mind praying for a stranger pray that my new found hope on Probiotics really works.Thank you for reading this long, mushy, and even corney post, but I am too excited. I just couldn’t wait to share with the world. I hope others too can find new hope with this product. Nothing is guaranteed in this life. Not even Probiotics. It is just my own experience and nothing else.P. S. I’m not being paid for my comments nor was asked to write this post.

these are excellent. Out of all the probiotics I have ever tried I actually did see positive results after taking these.
Veri –
I like the ingredients on it that matches perfectly with my doctor recommendation for me. I took a whole one and will be getting more.
CBee –
Love this probiotic, I take it regularly to promote all the good bacteria in all the right places. My OBGYN recommended it after I had used Boric Acid. It’s a really great product for the price and little to no taste, I notice when I dont take it. Def recommend!

I had a capsule opened in the bottle when it arrived.

I’ve been using this for over a year and decided to try another brand. After a couple of months of using the other brand I saw a big difference and not a good one. Switched back to this one immediately!
Kindle Customer –
My OB recommend this brand when I was pregnant and they were great!
Veggienut –
Most probiotics needs refrigerated but not these ~! This probiotic doesn’t need to be refrigerated until you use them.

Three days after beginning to take this probiotic I began to have insomnia.Since I had been recently sick, I just thought it was due to that. But my insomnia kept getting worse. Then I began having a runny nose and flushing in my face. A day shy of two weeks after a night of getting up almost every hour and my sleep disturbance exacerbating, at 2 am it finally dawned on me it might be the probiotic. It was the only change to my daily regimen.I did some research and lo and behold there are discussion threads of people having similar issues. It seems some probiotic strains may cause an increase in histamines that disrupt the sleep cycle and cause rosacea/flushing in the face which I also began having and other related symptoms. I have never had allergies or a histamine intolerance but everything points to some strains in the probiotic are increasing histamine levels in my body.I have seen my digestion and stools improve, but I will immediately stop and try again with different strains of probiotics that are ok to take if you have histamine issues. Just wanted to leave a review that you are not crazy for thinking your sudden insomnia is due to taking a probiotic. The insomnia began the 3rd night after taking this one and just kept getting worse. Then came a runny nose, flushing in the face and other allergy type symptoms. I will begin taking an antihistamine to reduce the histamine levels and stop taking this probiotic today.

I purchased and started using this probiotic a few weeks ago and has already felt the differences in my body overall. It does exactly what it says and I recently ordered another bottle. My only issue is the amount of capsules in the bottle don’t even fill half of the bottle size. Great product besides that!
