I've been using this probiotic for years. It's the only one that actually works for slow gut transit (low bowel movement frequency). The strain "Bifidobacterium Lactis HN019 is clinically proven to survive digestion and work in the colon. It also is proven effective for metabolic syndrome and it's associated complications like high cholesterol. I've found clinical trials on the pubmed site that have confirmed these results. This is one exerpt from a trial of this strain of probiotic.<br />From clinical trial on pubmed.<br />" Results: Daily ingestion of 80 mL fermented milk with 2.72 × 10(10) colony-forming units of B. lactis HN019 showed significant reduction in body mass index (P = 0.017), total cholesterol (P = 0.009), and low-density lipoprotein (P = 0.008) compared with baseline and control group values. Furthermore, a significant decrease in tumor necrosis factor-α (P = 0.033) and interleukin-6 (P = 0.044) proinflammatory cytokines was observed.<br /><br />Conclusion: These data showed potential effects of B. lactis HN019 in reducing obesity, blood lipids, and some inflammatory markers, which may reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with MetS."<br /><br />It is definitely the only probiotic that has ever made a significant difference in my digestive health and markers for cardiovascular disease.

My digestive issues are practically nonexistent since I started taking this probiotic a week ago. I have struggled for years with IBS! Great product!

The best probiotic for IBS and Leaky Gut Syndrome. I also take NOW food enzymes and L-Glutamine for IBS. Please check out the You Tube videos and websites for Dr. Lisa Meyer and Dr. Mark Hyman on IBS. You will learn a lot from these 2 doctors who actually understand IBS and how to cure it with proper diet and using probiotics, food enzymes and L-Glutamine. I've suffered from IBS for 15 years and how on-track to finally getting relief.

My husband’s constant throat clearing was driving me crazy. This is a symptom of reflux in his case. I did some reading and came across an article that mentioned two or three ingredients that help with the throat cleaning problem and found that this probiotic had them in it. It’s been a miracle for him (and me). It also somehow really seems to help with his allergies which I didn’t expect. He takes two a day and I can always tell when he forgets to take them as the throat clearing and sneezing come back. Highly recommend.

This product helped relieve my gas and bloating from my over sensitive digestive system. I've recently changed my diet to plant based and my intestines were at war. It really has settled things down.

I live by these probiotics. Along with the psyllium husk fiber and bentonite clay, it has almost completely reversed my IBS. Thank you NOW!!!
