NOW Foods Supplements, Probiotic-10™, 50 Billion, with 10 Probiotic Strains, Strain Verified, 50 Veg Capsules

I purchased the NOW Foods Probiotic-10, 50 Billion, 50 Vcapsfrom Now Foods.I have been dealing with gastrointestinal issues for a while and my doctor suggested to take a Probiotic daily to create good flora in my stomach.I did a lot of research before selecting this brand and in my research this brand has all the strains that you need. Many other brands have some of these strains but not all and as comprehensive as this one. I have noticed a difference as I have been taking these for over a year now and my gastro issues have really quieted down.These are a great price compared to others and a high potency is what you really need. If you struggle with diarrhea or constipation give these a try I think you might be surprised.I do keep mine refrigerated to increase longevity and I know that some people were worried because it says to keep refrigerated and they send these products non-refrigerated. The company has stated in answers to people’s questions “these pills are freeze dried, fresh from their freezers in the morning the day we ship it to you, tested for stability well over 110 degrees and have to reach upward of 128 before damage occurs.”So you don’t have to worry, but to extend shelf life refrigerate them.I also like these pills because they are gluten free and although I do not have celiac, I choose a gluten free lifestyle to eliminate Gastro problems.I would recommend these to family and friends 5 starsExtra Tip: These were some comments from othersWe fulfill our own from the factory 3 miles away. It is fresh from their freezers in the morning the day we ship it to you It does not cause constipation but rather helps to regulate the gut flora so that both diarrhea and some types of constipation will be greatly reduced. The quicker it's chilled the better but I took pills on an extended camping tripThere is no dairy in these at all. I'm dairy intolerant, so I made sure of that!! These are totally vegan. dairy, soy and gluten free. freeze dried, tested for stability well over 110 degrees and have to reach upward of 128 before damage occursMy doctor told me that people with autoimmune problems need a lot more probiotics, in the neighborhood of 35-50 billion CFU, so I decided to try this one outDifferent strains and they all add up to 50 billion, which is a high number (most probiotics have 10 billion or fewer). I used to get 225 billion from my doctor, but it was so expensive. Now I just take 2 of these every day I did a lot of research on what strains you need and the quantity. This brand has all the strains recommended. Many have only one or two One of the most potent probiotics on the market IT HAS 50 BILLION PER CAPSULE45 BILLION IS DAILY REQUIREMENTAND MOST IMPORTANTLYIT HAS10 DIFFERENT STRAINS OF FRIENDLY BACTERIA

It is real good foe digestion.

Excellent quality Probiotic, been using this brand for years! Highly recommend!

I never used NOW products before. So far I have had two, and I am liking them.This product I have only used a couple days now but I can tell you two things about it.When I eat a large portion of sugary things I get acid reflux that night. I've only done once so far while taking these but I can say I did not have the acid reflux. I would not have been looking for this had I not read it in another review.Also I have noticed that when I wake in the mornings I don't have as bad as I used to the awful taste in my mouth, I would assume it has probably lessened morning bad breath.I also bought a second different kind probiotic, that says it survives stomach acid, but it only just arrived. I thought I would take one of each at night & mornings, in hopes more get into my system.But I can say that at least some of this NOW had been getting into my system since I saw these improvements before the second brand bottle arrived. If these NOW continue to prevent acid reflux when I eat larger portions of sugary things I will be re-purchasing.(UPDATE: It's been about a week or so now, and I will be re-ordering this "NOW Probiotic-10, 50 Billion" product, as it has continued to stop the acid reflux. I did not buy it for this purpose, but it was a WONDERFUL surprising side effect. Also I don't give 5 stars in general, if I am happy with something I give it 4 stars max. But I 'am' upping this to 5 stars as has exceeded my expectations.)One last thing. From reading the reviews it is apparent you need to keep these refrigerated.Because of their sensitivity to heat I decided only to buy one bottle of each (instead of stocking up). But I am thinking the better time of year is winter to buy these, as they can sit in the summer heat in the mail box for a time or hours. I would like to stock up in the cooler weather, but I am afraid their potency would diminish.So I guess I am stuck with ordering them monthly and will just have to watch out for the mail to arrive.I hope this helps people, as reviews have helped me so much along the way. Thanks.

In the morning I am typically nauseous until I eat, but after a week or so I am already feeling better. I am getting back into bodybuilding and dairy is typically rough on my stomach.. I have been horribly gassy from whey and the smell is embarrassingly bad. I have noticed I am less gassy now, with no noticeable odor. No more bloating too now that I think of it.My only complaint for NOW is the container. The lid won't snap shut securely and this product is best refrigerated in a DRY place. I have been keeping the bottle it in a Ziplock to keep it from absorbing moisture
