Healthy Origins Probiotic 30 Billion CFU's (Shelf Stable, Non-GMO, Gluten Free, Digestive Health, Gut Health, Immune Support), 150 Veggie Caps

For almost a year, I have been dealing with digestive problems following the use of cortisone shots (for tendinitis) and then antibiotics following an infection. I have gone to many doctors, and after a colonoscopy concluded I had mild inflammation, but not IBD (he said he expected it was a virus and it would "clear up"), I have spent the past few months trying to heal naturally and holistically. I have tried many probiotic supplements in the past few months, including Kefir and Ultimate Flora probiotics which honestly did nothing for me. I have been using Culturelle, S. Boulardii from Now brands, B. Coagulans from Thorne (occasionally-- I see conflicted research on this strand so I use it sparingly, but it HAS provided relief), and these products made some improvement, but I needed more. I did some research and I came across a recommendation for these probiotics. I received them, and immediately cultured them in milk (they made yogurt--they are very much alive), and upon taking them I had what people call "die off" symptoms, and symptoms I had in the very beginning of my issues (these have since, mostly, resolved). I had loose stools shortly after taking this product, but NO pain--which was a first in months. I am continuing to have "die off" symptoms a few weeks later-- I feel like my system is extremely out of balance and it will take awhile to adjust, to be honest. I am very tired when I wake up, but I am sleeping through the nights instead of tossing and turning, and I wake up sweaty. I think this is my body fighting off bad bacteria and balancing itself out.The other day, I added in a strong probiotic to use in conjunction with this (Dr. Ohhira's Professional Formula), and Dr. Ohhira's gave me such pain (not die off, but pain), I thought I was going to have major bathroom issues (I think my body disagrees with an ingredient in the formula for that one). While I do have the pain, I have not had any issues with bowel movements, and I think that is thanks to Healthy Origins. I have recovered from this mishap must faster than I believe I would have without this product.Whatever is in this product, for me, it is working, I think it will take me a very long time to recover from the damage that has been done to my body, but this product, for me, it a step in the right direction. I hope it provides the same relief for you as it has for me. I will update this review if I continue to improve or see any further changes (positive or negative). Best of luck and good health to you all.

I've been using this SHELF-STABLE product for 9+ years and I like its QUALITY, VALUE and the way it WORKS for me.Healthy Origins probiotic formula is a 8 strain / 30 bil. CFU bespoke (Danisco/IFF Flora Fit) formula. It regulates and enhances my digestive capabilities to process a wider variety of foods than I could in the past, without experiencing undesirable reactions from their consumption. This probiotic has completely eliminated my need to use acid reducers and digestive enzymes that I needed in the past, before I started using this product. Additionally, completely eliminating caffeine and alcohol from my diet, in addition to using this probiotic, has allowed me to eat virtually anything I want without any indigestion or constipation ever. My immune system performance has also benefited from its regular daily usage.I appreciate the 150 ct, quantity size that lasts 5 months, it provides Great value and convenience. Because it's SHELF-STABLE it doesn't REQUIRE REFRIGERATION, that helps keep their potency at a very high level until you finish the bottle. Overall this is a great product. I HIGHLY recommend these!

Probiotics should be one of those holy grail “supplements”, without much discussion about how great they are. Unlike other supplements, they have been long researched with some pretty amazing results. But not all of them are created equal. These little microorganisms come in the trillions, so science still need to catch up.Before healthy origins I was having a very popular brand, with 5B CFU. And yes, the blend was genuine, but the price was too high for 60 count and low concentration. So with all this in mind, I started my own search for a new probiotic for my needs. Eh, not easy at all with so many brands and marketing. I was looking to recover my intestinal flora (all the floras indeed!), and add some skin defense. Impossible huh? Not so much. There are probiotics for rosacea, acne dermatitis , UV sun protection, anti aging...,And finally I founf it, and I was so glad to see how many good strains they had, and 30 billion. So, this has lactobacilis breve, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus plantarum. They are very rare to find in the same composition, and are good for UV protection and therefore anti aging, with photo-protective properties. Ramnosus is also used to treat eczema and other skin-inflammation conditions.It also has Lactobacillus acidophilus (increases naturally lactic acid production), and together with Bifidobacterium lactis and Bifidobacterium longum, they also reduce skin sensitivity, good for overall health, best for acne and acne inhibition, B.lactis has even shown in research good results in insulin regulation (paper: Acne vulgaris, probiotics and the gut-brain-skin axis - back to the future?) Lactobacillus casei is one of the best for reducing skin sensitivity, helping immune system function for reduced eczema.So basically almost after getting blind reading at all the composition facts lists, I found this gem, with the best strains, good amount and above all, excellent price. If you are looking to improve the probiotic game, this is for you!Of course there are other good options there, but no need to go broke to enjoy the benefits

I was taking the Garden of Life Woman’s Daily Probiotic and realized how expensive it was and wanted to switch to a cheaper one that still had the same benefits. This probiotic seems to do the job - and passes 3rd party test on Consumer Labs.
