Symprove Daily Food Supplement, Delivers Live and Active Bacteria to Your Gut Microbiome, One Month Supply, Mango and Passion Fruit - 4 x 500ml

I have tried several probiotics and the best ones are always the fresh ones that you have to keep refrigerated and that’s what you do with these. They definitely make a huge difference in my G.I. and overall wellness. I also purchased these on a subscription since they are a little bit on the expensive side, sometimes I get them with the Affirm payment plan.

Without meaning to sound sensationalist or dramatic, this product has literally changed my life! I need to share my review so that it may continue to help other people like myself. I have suffered forever with bowl and gut problems. As a very young child I had a prolapsed bowel and then growing up I was constantly constipated, in pain, bloated and miserable with IBS. I've had numerous procedures to get rid of hemorrhoids from constantly straining, which has left me with a herniated bowel. As I got older and reached the menopause, things became 100% worse. I couldn't eat any green vegetables, root vegetables, any kind of spices, wheat, potatoes, onions, garlic, fruits, in fact, my diet was pathetic. All the foods mentioned gave me bloating, flatulence, stomach ache and constant constipation. I have tried virtually every probiotic on the market and non of them worked but my hubby found this probiotic on the internet and the rest as they say, is history. Yes, it's expensive, but so is going to the hairdresser to have a cut and colour and we all find the money for that. So my first month arrived and I started taking it from day one. The taste is what it is. It's not terrible and it's not delicious, but it's a medicine, not a glass of wine. Frankly, when you're as desperate as I was, the taste was the least of my worries. Once opened, it is advisable to keep this in the fridge. I take it every morning when I wake up and on an empty stomach. I usually wait about 10 minutes or more before I have my morning coffee. After one week I noticed a huge improvement. I wasn't as bloated or as flatulent. After a month of taking this religiously, I am a different person. All my IBS has gone and I can now tolerate foods that I haven't been able to eat for years, even beans and potatoes. I no longer feel bloated and I don't strain at all when I go to the toilet which is every day and not once a week. I'm sorry to go into the ins and outs of my gut issues, but I want to give an honest and detailed review of this product. If you can afford this, don't hesitate to try it. It will honestly change your life.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This product is nothing short of miraculous! When I asked a well-known neuroscientist about the gut-brain connection, he told me that gut health matters—and Symprove was the rare probiotic that actually delivers living microorganisms to their destination. Symprove restored my normal GI function after a surgery that disrupted it. I wish it were available outside the UK.

I have a couple of underlying chronic conditions, both of which can impact my bowels. However, I found myself feeling especially terrible, with a lot of bloating and digestive distress, after a stay in hospital when I had been given a course of two antibiotics at the same time - shortly afterwards I diagnosed with IBS and as suffering from candida overgrowth, possibly linked to the antibiotic treatment. Over the course of a decade I tried numerous different interventions including taking well-known brands of probiotics over a long period of time, prebiotics, anti-candida treatments, moving to a ketogenic diet and modifying my exercise routine. In combination these have made a difference, but the probiotics and prebiotics I had tried were probably the least efficacious interventions of the lot. With Symprove, however, I saw clear improvements after around 8 weeks of treatment. It definitely was not overnight, and perhaps I wouldn't have seen these improvements without the dietary changes I had made well before starting the Symprove. However, about 2 months in I realised that I was no longer bloated after almost every meal, my appetite was far more consistent, I seemed to be having fewer sugar and carb cravings, and I was much more regular. Prior to Symprove, a couple of times a week I would experience stabbing sensation in my stomach; now I experience this twice a month at most. I have now been taking Symprove for almost 9 months, although I did have a two month break in the middle and gradually began experiencing more frequent digestive distress so did begin Symprove shortly thereafter. It seems that, for me at least, the benefits remain when I stay on the Symprove, and only for a few weeks after. I have found, however, that after the initial 10 weeks taking the full 70ml dose, I can then take just half that dose daily and still reap the full benefits. I've always ordered the Mango and Passion Fruit flavour; it's not especially pleasant, but I found that after a couple of weeks I was used to it. A few times I have forgotten to wait the full 10 minutes before eating and drinking, having taken the Symprove on an empty stomach first thing. Nothing awful happened, although I did feel a little nauseous. Given the benefits I've experienced, I've recommended this product to friends and family, including those who have struggled with IBS and Coeliac disease, all of which have reported experiencing similar benefits to myself. One of them had also had the product recommended to them by a Nurse. That said, some seemed to experience improvements in the first couple of weeks, whereas a relative took Symprove for almost 4 months before experiencing similar improvements. It is definitely not cheap, but when looking at the cost of taking other probiotics (some of which you need to take multiple times a day) it's not too bad and for me personally, given its effectiveness, I have found it well worth the price.
