Absolutely love this. My guys are so happy and healthy now. A bit pricy but overall a great product that I use often.

I am taking Hydrocodone for a serious spinal injury and I have been for many years. With that said. The hydrocodone has caused severe constipation issues. My doctor has prescribed everything from softeners to actual harsh laxatives and none of them worked without serious and pain full side effects. On the advice of a friend who is also on this type of pain medication since he too was injured in combat like me. He said that this ultimate Flora was his saving grace. I told him I have tried the all the Yogurt promises and it failed, I tried the Stuff at W- Mart and it Failed, I even tried other name brand Flora replacements that promise and did not come through on their advertised promises.So I wasn't to interested in any over the counter fake stuff again. But out of frustration I tired this Ultimate Flora critical care and OMG! for the first time since my use of pain meds, this stuff REALLY WORKS!! ( at least for me.) No more Constipation and even the digestion of foods and absorption the nutrients has remarkably changed. I get blood work done monthly as I'm / was seriously low vitamin B's and D's and very very low Iron. To the point of going to the hospital to get Iron injections. But after taking the Ultimate Flora, my absorption of these and other minerals has come up to better then average. Even my grey hair is turning back to salt and pepper, so It must be helping my absorption of minerals also.SO ALL THAT I CAN SAY IS THAT THIS IS THE BEST SPENT MONEY I HAVE EVER DONE. I NEVER KNEW THAT ABSORPTION OF THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS CAN BE AFFECTED BY DIGESTION. WELL THIS STUFF HAS REDUCED MY NEED FOR SUPPLEMENTS AND I'M NO LONGER CONSTIPATED, BLOATED OR HAVE CRAMPS OR EVEN THE OCCASIONAL BOWL BLOCKAGES THAT I WAS HOSPITALIZED FOR SEVERAL TIMES. MY DOCTOR SAID THAT THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF FINALLY GETTING THE NUTRIENTS FROM MY FOODS HAS HELPED ME LOSE WEIGHT, BY CUTTING MY APPETITE. HE EVEN NOW RECOMMENDS THIS PRODUCT TO OTHER PATIENTS HE SEE'S AND TELLS THEM OF MY STORY. THIS PRODUCT HAS FREED ME FROM ISSUES OF CONSTIPATION AND VITAMIN & MINERAL DEFICIENCIES. I HAVE LABS TO PROVE THAT SOMETHING HAD DRAMATICALLY CHANGED MY BLOOD LEVELS AND THE ONLY THING THAT I HAD CHANGED WAS I GAVE THIS STUFF A 2 MONTH TRY AND IT WORKED. Note: Don't take too much as it will loosen up things too much, but find the dosage that works for you. Mine was 1 tablet every day. Please give this stuff a try and keep it refrigerated if you can, it will be stronger when you use it. It does (for me) it took couple of weeks to "really kick in", so give it a try. Remember I tried all the cheap stuff and even not so cheap stuff and this is the only stuff that worked for me. Write me if you have any questions, I suffered for so many years that this was like a whole new life in a little blue bottle. :)

I could definitely see a difference in these compared to the ones I was taking. These are very powerful and hit my stomach pretty hard (the other ones didn't). I remembered seeing other people in the "one-star" section saying that they had the same problem with these so rather than rating them a single star and throwing them away (as those people did) I decided to do some research about it first. I found many things on the subject so here are just a few.Unless your symptoms are drastic and affecting you dramatically, don’t stop taking the probiotics – this period should pass. Simply downgrade your dose to every other day or cut in half. It will usually not last more than 3-7 days. Instead of taking on an empty stomach (which some say when probiotics are most effective), for the time being, start taking with food. You can change to taking on an empty stomach after your body has adjusted.*Be sure to know the quality of your probiotic. All supplements are not created equal! Check for fillers or ingredients that might not jive with your system.89 CommentsS*** S*** on February 5, 2014 at 10:51 pm"Can you tell me a handful of trustworthy brands? I’m always worried that the vitamins, supplements, and probiotics I get for myself and my kids aren't all they claim to be."M*** M*** on February 5, 2014 at 11:34 pmSure! We love MegaFoods, Dr. Ohirra, Metagenics, Jarrow and Renew Life, but there are more!K***Posted 30 November 2009 - 03:52 PMAround November 19th I started taking a probiotic called *****. Within a couple days I was feeling so sick that I had to miss an entire week of classes. I stopped taking the probiotic around the middle of last week and now I am finally feeling better after a variety of strange symptoms ranging from odd aches and pains to coldness, to chest pains and a lack of appetite. My theory is that my immune system rejected the bacteria and gave me small stomach flu. My brother thinks that the bacteria could have impacted the wrong part of my stomach, making me ill.I***Posted 03 December 2009 - 07:14 AMThe Herxheimer Reaction is a short-term (from days to a few weeks) detoxification reaction in the body. As the body detoxifies, it is not uncommon to experience flu-like symptoms including a headache, joint and muscle pain, body aches, sore throat, general malaise, sweating, chills, nausea or other symptoms.This is a normal — and even healthy — reaction that indicates that parasites, fungus, viruses, bacteria or other pathogens are being effectively killed off. The biggest problem with the Herxheimer reaction is that people stop taking the supplement or medication that is causing the reaction, and thus discontinue the very treatment that is helping to make them better. Although the experience may not make you feel particularly good, the Herxheimer Reaction is actually a sign that healing is taking place.What Is The Herxheimer Reaction?The Herxheimer Reaction is an immune system reaction to the toxins (endotoxins) that are released when large amounts of pathogens are being killed off, and the body does not eliminate the toxins quickly enough. Simply stated, it is a reaction that occurs when the body is detoxifying and the released toxins either exacerbate the symptoms being treated or create their own symptoms. The important thing to note is that worsening symptoms do not indicate failure of the treatment in question; in fact, usually just the opposite. I***My closing argument on Probiotics that make you sick:I was a germaphobe (until two weeks ago) so bad that I would wash my whole body (the top of my head to the bottom of my feet) in the shower with anti-bacterial soap in hopes of killing germs. I showered that way for many years. I somewhat recently was on antibiotics for two weeks as well and fell so ill that I began to research health like a crazy person because I was in frightening condition. A blessing in disguise I guess. So, why are these making me so ill? Because they're working. BIG TIME. I took them with food today and still started feeling very bad so I went to sleep for a few hours and made it through okay. I'll do what's necessary to get them working properly in my body. The main takeaway from all this is if you're taking ANY Probiotic and it's making you sick, not only is it working VERY WELL but how close are you to being as bad off as I am (with no good bacteria in my body at all I or close to it at least)Tough it out guysRob

Easy to swallow which makes it easier since am a senior. It’s also effective!
