Fabulous for slow digestion/constipation
This probiotic works! As I got into my 60’s I had increasing bouts of constipation. After many tests I was told by my primary care doctor that I had IBS-C. My digestive system was sluggish and I was bloated. I tried many things, softeners, senna (which gave me horrible cramping and diarrhea), fiber supplements, prunes, etc. They all worked – eventually. I wasn’t regular by any means. I read an article that mentioned the main prebiotic in this as being helpful in promoting regularity. I started with 1 capsule and at day 4 took 2 capsules. It works well, no cramping, diarrhea, no more bloating! I “go” every day as long as I take this probiotic, I feel so much better! I do take a fiber supplement as well.

The only probiotic I take
I’ve been using this probiotic for years. It’s the only one that actually works for slow gut transit (low bowel movement frequency). The strain “Bifidobacterium Lactis HN019 is clinically proven to survive digestion and work in the colon. It also is proven effective for metabolic syndrome and it’s associated complications like high cholesterol. I’ve found clinical trials on the pubmed site that have confirmed these results. This is one exerpt from a trial of this strain of probiotic.From clinical trial on pubmed.” Results: Daily ingestion of 80 mL fermented milk with 2.72 × 10(10) colony-forming units of B. lactis HN019 showed significant reduction in body mass index (P = 0.017), total cholesterol (P = 0.009), and low-density lipoprotein (P = 0.008) compared with baseline and control group values. Furthermore, a significant decrease in tumor necrosis factor-α (P = 0.033) and interleukin-6 (P = 0.044) proinflammatory cytokines was observed.Conclusion: These data showed potential effects of B. lactis HN019 in reducing obesity, blood lipids, and some inflammatory markers, which may reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with MetS.”It is definitely the only probiotic that has ever made a significant difference in my digestive health and markers for cardiovascular disease.

Seems to help but hate caps
I have felt better since I started taking these probiotics for a few months now. Only thing I do not like about their products is the bottle that they come in. The cap will not stay on tight. I have to tape it down. I wrote the company and suggested that they fix the cap on the bottle. They have not changed it. I think that supplements should be in a tightly sealed container.UPDATE: This is my 3rd bottle. Cap will not seal! It’s a good product but I can find something else that will seal better. You would think if they sell this they would fix the caps!!

Better than the really expensive ones
I’ve tried VSL#3 and Seed and what feels like countless others. Taking one of these in the morning and one at night, I can now tolerate a lot of foods I couldn’t before. This is a game changer for me. Highly recommend.

Surprisingly effective
I eat a ton of soluble and insoluble fiber, exercise a lot, and drink plenty of water. Still, my digestion seemed to have ground to a halt over the last few months and the only explanation I could come up with is that I am 51 and the problem is probably related to changes in my hormones (there is also some clinical data backing this up). I didn’t want to take loads of senna or softeners, and they didn’t really work anyway. I tried chicory capsules for a gentler alternative to those products, and that didn’t work either. So I started reading up on probiotics and found solid data supporting the combined use of the exact strains contained in THIS product to alleviate idiopathic (unexplained) constipation. After a single 2-capsule dose, believe it or not, I was back on track. I kind of can’t even believe it! Now I subscribe to a monthly delivery, take 2 pills a day in the mid-morning, and feel really appreciative that this product is out there! I’m also really grateful that the price is so reasonable.

REDESIGN THE LID!!!
REDESIGN THE LID!!! I have ordered this product several times. The lid detaches from the container with extreme ease. I use to keep this product and container in a bag with my other supplements but when I would open the bag, I would find the container open with the contents (capsules) spilled out into the bag. I have then kept the container standing upright in a drawer but when I have opened the drawer, I have observed that the lid is open and detached from the container. I now have to, moving forward, tape the lid shut. I place a long piece of tape on top of the lid and attach it to the body of the container. The consumer SHOULD NOT have to take these steps just to keep the contents of the container (the capsules) inside and sealed this way. If I find a better product made by a different brand with a better container, I will purchase it and never go back to this “NOW” brand Clinical GI Probiotic product. I am very disappointed with the design and quality of this container.
