Country LifePower-Dophilus Dairy-Free Multi-Strain Probiotic 12 Billion CFUs, 100 Vegan Capsules, Certified Gluten Free, Certified Vegan

In my late 40's I found that I had a strong intolerance for lactose in my diet. Because of the time lag (6-7 hours for me) between ingestion and digestion problems, it was very confusing to correlate to my diet at first. It turned out to be the previous meal rather than the current meal causing the problem, and I could set a timer to 6-7 hours after eating any products with lactose! I used enzyme-containing products to aid lactose digestion for quite a while with general success, but it was tricky to get the timing with food just right as well as being sure to have the tablets always with me. The consequences of less than optimum use were very annoying and always required a few days to get back to usual. More than 5 years ago I ran into a shortage of the enzyme product on the store shelves. We found that some probiotics contained many of the same ingredients as the enzyme tablets (actually in much higher amounts), just not the purified enzyme. At this time I tried Powerdophilus as an alternative taking 1 tablet every morning before breakfast with a glass of water. It completely eliminated my dairy indigestion issues! I have been taking it daily ever since. I have never experienced any side effects and have never felt the need for any additional dairy digestion products. I can even miss a day or two, and no ill effects from dairy. Before, a piece of bread with milk as an ingredient would get me, but now I can eat pizza and a milkshake with no problem. I know the product is not advertised for this, but this is the problem it solved for me!2018 update -- I continue with this daily. I have nearly forgotten that I ever had a severe lactose intolerance. I haven't avoided any dairy-containing foods for years. I can even miss taking it for a few days, and it makes no difference.

Perfe

Good quality for the price

I am lactose intolerant and have been using this product for over 20 years now. It works great for when I want to eat dairy products. Recently, I was on a antibiotic that messed up my intestines (diarrhea) for several days. My doctor told me to take a Probiotic. I took two of these and t stopped. I highly recommend them.

This is a good probiotic supplement. I prefer SBO's - Soil-based organisms, such as in Prescript Assist or Body Biotics, but I think it's good to switch up the probiotics sometimes, so while I'm taking a break from the SBO's, I like to take a regular probiotic. I like this one because it has a large number or organisms, and ones that seem to work well with my body - this is almost the same formulation as Florajen-3 and cheaper - this is a very good quality supplement for the price. I also like that it's milk-free, as probiotics that are grown with milk seem to have the opposite effect on me that they're supposed to (not good). So I'm happy with this and may take it during a break from, or in conjunction with my Body Biotics SBO's.

Love the packaging.So far it's been doing the job it was intended, I believe. It's been less than a week since I started taking it, so we'll see.

I have been using this product for years to help with my IBS, it’s great for me, it also helps to keep those bad bacteria’s out and makes me feel great…awesome product

I was honestly scared to try it, because i tried a lot of products that honestly don’t work. This product actually helped my gut issues :-). Seen improvement drastically.
