 Life saver!Jan 23, 2009
By Bobbie J. Turner
I have tried different probiotics. I have ulcerative colitis and taking 2 capsules/day plus vitamin d3 stopped a flare up from fully manifesting.
Amazing product. I will be taking this forever! I highly recommend this product to anyone.

Antibiotics need to be counteracted with ProbioticsFeb 27, 2009
By Marilyn Hierl
Long term antibiotic therapy with three different meds at the same time has destroyed the good bacteria in my digestive system. Without using the Ultimate Flora plus Culturelle probiotics I was unable to properly process the nutrition I was taking in. So happy to find them online as it is difficult for me to get outside. Thanks so much.

Great ProductJul 25, 2009

I have been fighting with my poorly behaved digestive tract for 5 years now. I've been to doctor after doctor to no avail. They tell me it's in my head and I was beginning to believe them until I found this probiotic. It has made my grumpy stomach perfectly happy. No more running to the bathroom or fear of leaving the house. It is worth every penny to have my life back.

Potent enough to make a real differenceMar 19, 2010
By J. S. Carr
A relative recommended these to me after they basically fixed some major gastrointestinal issues (literally docs were talking about needing surgery, then they try these and boom they've been functioning fine for 6 or 8 months provided they take them daily).
If you've thought you might benefit from probiotics before but haven't noticed much difference I recommend giving these a try with the 50 bil dose. Most probiotics out there do not contain enough punch to really help the guts that need it the most. These do.
I had a little sticker shock the first time I pulled them up, then I thought about the fact that if the doc gave us an rx for something that was an effective treatment we'd end up paying this much (or more!) for the prescription anyway. Plus this way we're not contributing to the rising costs of health care :D And forget about the co-pay to see the doc, possibly another co-pay for a specialist, the hours away from work to get to these appointments... sure our first choice would be to have no need of them but these things look like a better and better deal all the time!
Another reason I like having these around is on the (rare) occasion we need antibiotics. Antibiotics are like micro-flora napalm, they don't distinguish between harmful and helpful. One of the reasons people so often get secondary infections on antibiotics is because the antibiotics are not primarily augmenting the body's immune system they are primarily trying to replace it so when the antibiotics run out you are (until your system recovers) without much "infection defense" of any kind. However, since the majority of the immune system is in the digestive tract (where we are very vulnerable to most infections entering as food-borne illness) taking probiotics is a great way to sustain / augment / replenish your immune system in addition to general digestive health. In other words, probiotics are supposed to supplement your immune system's digestive duties so it can concentrate on other infections, knock out potential infections IN the digestive track (for instance e. coli from a chicken contamination that wants to give you the runs), and quickly replenish your system if you have an infection that requires prescription antibiotics. I can vouch from my own experience that probiotics have helped me recover within an hour or two after eating something that was making others who ate with me sick for the next 12-18 hours (and while I take no pleasure in a friend's illness, I must admit it is gratifying at some level to be in better shape after being written off a hogwash naturopathy, and it makes a great time to mention some extra vitamin D for us Michigan office workers isn't a bad idea either...)
Update 9 or so months later: My wife is still taking these. Every time she stops because "it's been fine for a while now" lo and behold problems start back up. It's still a lot cheaper than going to the doc and paying for prescriptions, plus it's much more convenient to not have to be mindful of exact restroom locations and distances after any imperfect meal

Greatest Product Ever!Mar 31, 2011
By Booklovr
I have suffered for years with IBS, and has gotten worse as I've grown older. The constant bloating, gas, and constipation affected my quality of life. I always had headaches, and just generally felt awful. I first discovered this product at a local nutrition store. I had tried other probiotics in the past with no luck. I was skeptical about the price at first. But within the first week of using this product, my symptoms had diminished greatly. Not to be gross, but I started having regular bowel movements that completely evacuated me. It was great. During that time, I was prescribed an antibiotic for a sinus infection. Normally, I would end up with a yeast infection after taking the antibiotic. This time I had no problems whatsoever. My mom is now taking this,and I'm putting my teenage daughter on it because she has had symptoms of IBS since she was 7 or 8.
This is a wonderful product!
