Probiotics

I'm extremely skeptical of para-medical and even routine medical promises, so I drilled deep and researched very thoroughly about this PROBIOTICS subject. I had heard for a very long time about prebiotics & probiotics & the intestinal flora. And then read a great deal about it. And how good health begins in the gut. And how after a dose of antibiotics, we have to eat yogurts or other things, because both the good and bad germs in our gut both take a hit. And it's therefore wise to restore the probiotic level afterwards. So after hearing these things for many years I was superficially aware of them. As a sixty year old who is super conscious of my health (no smoke, no booze, no drugs, no fried foods, follow USDA pyramid). I thought what the hell else is there I couId possibly do, so I explored further, Mainly because I have heard & learned the warning 'Not to go frail into old age' (do not go gentle into that good night). I delberatly avoided the hoaky websites and look for the FDA seal of approval on what I read, or at least read from Hopkins or WebMd or legit sources. Then armed with much more than any laymans knowledge, I decided it was time for my own experiment & try it. I asked my personal MD dr Steve from Annapolis he stated that there is not a lot of very compelling research data on the subject , that much of it is anecdotal, that people report hot & cold results. But yes, go ahead and try it. SO I continue to read the labels on the shelf in the pharmacy, then came home and compared numbers. I went to mighty Amazon, and sorted by RATINGS. WHich to me was important, RATING BY ACTUAL USERS. After all the due diligence, Found this Purely Optimal 60 billion brand and clicked on it, at my door next day and popped my first pill. Within ten days felt excellent results. Main changes for me were/are "MENTAL CLARITY & POO POO & LOSING WEIGHT". It's been 45 days now,no more constipation, went down to an incredible all year low of 243.5 lbs and my head fog cleared up. The Intestinal-probiotic duo is responsible for extracting & delivering nutrients thru 'alimental fuel absorbiotion'. Nutrients are any substance which can be metabolised to give energy/build tissue/ feed the body and its organs. I COULD NOT JUST TRY THIS, FEEL SO GOOD AND NOT SHARE. SO I LOOKED IT ALL UP, FOUND DETAIL AND SHARE. PASS IT ON ! And I stopped at 30 days and 15 days later I feel it falling off, because of my age. Maybe younger people need only one bottle. Oh, and I had stage three hemmoroids taken care of this month, After ignoring them for 3 years. And I had a surgeon peek into my rectum with an Anuscope. (I think the constipation ripped the hemis open). And this Columbia University educated Gastrological surgeon, Dr Vince C from Glen Burnie, told me stay on Probiotics. That's a one on one, interview, anal inspection and Q&A session with a Surgeon Specialist. (I made sure to get my $700.00 dollars worth and grilled him). So that's two doctors, my personal physician and a surgeon who did in office surgery twice on my rectum ~ Who both advised me to take probiotics. Andrew K. Annapolis What more can I say??

The 60 Billion CFU product caused my bowel movements to return to a Regular daily Full movement..and less gas in my belly also. Over a long period of time..perhaps a year or more........... I had sadly shifted to a not optimal situation of having a bowel movement Only Every 3 days. Not good ! I also had lots of gas / flatulence many hours after eating. I read on a review at Amazon that the reviewer had experienced getting back to a Full normal bowel movement after about 15 days of using the product...so based on that review, I decided to try it. My results were really as best as I might have expected. I am 63 years of age and eat pretty healthy...including never eating fried foods.... After using the Purely Optimal 60 billion CFU product......within a few days I started having more frequent (once a day) very Full bowel movements. Within 10 days I was having a daily Full bowel movement about 2 of every 3 days. Great Progress ! Then after about 15 days into using the product... I was having a Full bowel movement 6 days....a week ...almost 7 days a week...All Right ! Great ...I could see some reduction in the size of my belly...it was somewhat smaller and not near as fully bloated with gas as I had experienced most of the time....before the product....! But as further proof that the product worked...........Then I ran out of the product after the 30 days on my first bottle...and slowly these last couple of months I have sadly slipped back to only having a bowel movement about every third day...and some are too small...and then on some days some are large..as if to Catch Up. This is anecdotal to me alone...but it was crystal clear that the 60 Billion CFU Probiotic dramatically changed my bowel movement by halfway thru the 30 daily capsule bottle. But Alas after finishing the 30 day bottle and not replacing / refilling the product I pretty soon slipped back to the Old pattern of Only having a bowel movement every 3 days Or so..........after stopping the product. This is very telling for Me ! The product caused the change back to a normal Daily bowel movement and when I stopped (ran out) of the product I slipped backward and Lost my progress !

Step 1 This product has changed my life I am so glad I chose this probiotic amongst all the other brands that I’ve been using all of my life. I was diagnosed with diabetic gastroparesis 20 years ago and not a darn thing has worked for me it’s been very frustrating and very painful. It inhibits your way of life it makes you feel depressed in pain etc. when you have this disorder. I must say this is the only probiotic that I’ve ever tried that has actually worked immediately and made me feel results. I’m so glad I gave it a try based on the reviews that I read because I’ve also ordered the digestive enzymes that they make and I am interested in also ordering other products by this brand. If you suffer from gastroparesis or just want overall good health this is the way to go and I am elated that I was able to research and choose this item. Please keep up the continuation of your amazing products because you’re helping a lot of people including myself. The pill is easy to swallow they’re lightweight they don’t taste funny they’re completely convenient and I actually look forward to waking up every single day to take this item so that I know that I can have a successful experience throughout each day. Purely a demo is an amazing vitamin brand and I’m so glad I’m not wasting my money on other products that I never should’ve even invested in. I could actually go on forever about the digestive products this company makes. Again suffering for 20 years with gastroparesis due to my type one diabetes has been a living nightmare the bloating the pressure the pain anxiety the depression nothing has worked until now and I am being completely sincere I would love for everyone else to feel as well as I do. Don’t trust the over the counter brands because they promised things that don’t work. I do not have to refrigerate this product I do not have to worry about carrying it around in my purse it is affordable and I enjoy taking it every day when I don’t take this product I can feel the same terrible results of my condition like I always did this is almost like a lifesaver.

I have struggled with my weight and with a condition known as acid reflux and involuntary regurgitation for years. It was absolutely getting in the way of my well being. I had heard of probiotics in the past, but I didn't know what they were or what they did. One day I decided to try them just because there was so much hype about them from health articles I had read. I purchased a large bulk bottle of 300 pills from another brand not consulting with any medical professional or anything. I hated them! They gave me funny tasting burbs and I felt funny. Well I returned the product and thought I would not be drinking them again. Fast forward months later my cousin recommended I see a nutritionist, I really liked her and decided to start a nutrition plan with her. The first thing she recommended was to take a daily probiotic, I told her I had had a negative experience with them, she said they are not all made equally, she told me they needed to have at least 50 billion CFU and contain at least 8-10 different strands, also be from a reputable quality brand. I tried one that fitted those categories and thought it was okay. But the price was too high. I found these after research and I absolutely love them! I have noticed a tremendous difference in my digestive health, and I haven't experienced involuntary regurgitation in weeks! Yes I am eating better, my diet has improved, but these probiotics I am sure have also had a major role with my well being. I get no side effects and I am losing weight at a good pace. They help my body regulate and maintain better digestion! Thanks Purely Optimal. For quality products at a super reasonable price.

I am an 85-year old female in generally good health, 5' 9" tall, weighing 130 lbs; generally follow a low-carb plant-rich 'Mediterranean diet", eat organically as much as possible, and follow many of Life Extension's protocols and use many of their supplements. I have suffered for about 15 years with collagenous colitis (diagnosed by biopsy); this condition shares many symptoms with IBS, in my case: frequent urgent, loose stools, 'dumping syndrome', and smelly farts. We had been reading a lot of the research about the importance of probiotics and individual biomes, and decided to get a detailed stool analysis through Life Extension. The analysis revealed a disbiosis index of 3 (on a scale 1-5), an abundance of Morganella morganii, low elastase, and very high fat stain. We then decided to try treating my condition with inulin beginning with 1/2 teaspoon daily (with breakfast) and a probiotic. After finding some criteria and recommendations on-line, I chose Purely Optimal's Probiotics, 1 capsule daily. However, I couldn't find clear or consistent information about when to take the probiotics, so I began taking the probiotic just before dinner, which resulted in an extremely noisy rumbling stomach and lots of gas. I then went on line and found a suggestion to take the probiotic at bed-time to give the probiotic time to establish itself overnight. Although this was anecdotal, it offered a new approach, which I followed. Almost immediately, the combination of inulin and the probiotic at bedtime resulted in normal stool consistency (3-4 on the Bristol stool chart) and frequency (once a day). This has maintained itself for about six weeks now, and for me it seems almost miraculous. My question now is: once a normal biome seems to be established, is it necessary to continue to take the probiotics every day? Or does it become relatively self-sustaining, perhaps renewed from time to time -- like once a month, for example?

I had accumulated so much bloat during quarantine through bad eating habits and just not having the energy to exercise. A coworker was losing weight and glowing and I asked her her secret. She recommended these probiotics with a detox apple cider concoction and a work out regime and honestly? I’ve only done the probiotics and feel so much better. My fiancé even asks if I’ve lost weight and even though I haven’t lost a single inch I look and feel better since I don’t have bloat making me feel and look puffy! I usually am not the type to give into trendy diets and weight loss schemes and I haven’t experienced any weight loss from this product, however my weight is now distributed evenly and I don’t feel swollen at all. I take it every morning with my coffee. It does a great job of mildly suppressing my appetite and keeping me from feeling hangry or getting agitated with hunger. My clothes look better on my frame and I have had an increase in confidence since beginning these several months ago. Not to be too detailed, I’m also extremely regular now with bm’s. Every morning now like clock work when I used to go days without passing any waste. I’m a cynic at heart and truly the fact that I’m subscribed to this product and now trying to get a free bottle for my fiancé is HUGE for people who know me. Typically I roll my eyes at everything and I’m definitely not rolling them at these probiotics. It has truly lead me to a healthier path and I don’t crave foods that would bring on that heaviness anymore.

This is my first bottle of probiotics from Purely Optimal, It's been seventeen days since I started to use this product. I've nothing but good to say. My gut health has improved at least six-fold, A couple of years ago I had Nissen fundoplication surgery for heartburn I suffered for five years, still, the heartburn wouldn't go. I took things into my own hands and started to research and found out the probiotics in combination with digestive enzymes and pre-biotics would help solve my issue. So I started to take Probiotics, digestive enzymes, and pre-biotics separately and the combination of three did work and I had 75% positive results, I mean I would have heartburn once or twice a week instead of all seven days. I would spend up to $85 on the combination of three drugs. After a couple of years, I stumbled upon Purley Optimal product which offered all the Probiotics/prebiotics/digestive enzymes in one capsule for 1/4 th of the price I was paying for the three different products! Plus this product has done wonders for me, my heartburn is totally gone! I can eat almost anything I want, and my bowl moments are perfect and I'm enjoying my life to the fullest. I recommend this product to everyone who had problems like me.

I told my husband that as a woman approaching 40, having stomach issues with certain foods, bowel movements only once a week, and acne breakouts more often, all these issues had me thinking of my gut health and probiotics. So I looked at the reviews and have been taking this for about 2 1/2 weeks. I've already drastically cut back on consuming peanut butter, chocolate and rice from my diet since those seemed to be triggering unusual symptoms for me. The first week I took one pill every night (since I don't have good luck with pills in the a.m.) and noticed that immediately the next morning I was extremely fatigued and had a difficult time waking up. Thought maybe it was just age related stuff creeping up on me. Next week I decided to take one pill in the later morning after breakfast. By 4pm I was ready to take a hard nap; it was a wave of fatigue again but now before dinner! My stomach issues didn't change much and I still only had a BM once a week. My acne was still going strong but slowly starting to clear up. I was set to keep going on my daily pill to see if things cleared up, but the constant fatigue was not fun so I quit taking it. Maybe this wasn't a good type of probiotic for me, but I'm willing to try another brand to see if there would be any positive changes; although, I am glad it works for other people!
