So for the product, would actually give 5 stars. I've been using BioK on and off for over 20 years and have consistently found them to be the best probiotic out there.<br /><br />The 1 star is because one of the product photos clearly shows 2 bottles with a "X 2" text, leading a buyer to believe they will receive 2 bottles (see screenshot photo of this). The buyer receives only 1 bottle not 2. Reached out to the seller and they are not interested in correcting this. Real bummer as I've been such a fan of their product for years.

This product in liquid form is pure magic for a bad stomach or diverticulitis so I decided to use the pills year round for good bacteria. So far I do feel better

I had read several reviews about this product about the conflicting information regarding the refrigeration. Based on the responses from seller/manufacturer to some of those reviews, I was under the impression that the capsules are some delayed release technology and do not require refrigeration. I thought all the other comments were irrelevant and about some different product.<br />Received the product today, first of all it is not by any means a delayed release capsule. It looks completely different from the picture. Secondly, the box of this particular product clearly says viable until expiration date if refrigerated.<br />If the manufacturer hasn’t updated their labeling storage info, then I don’t how much to trust their product anyways.<br />Or perhaps the seller is providing wrong info in response to the inquiries.<br />I remember reading someone’s review that they contacted the manufacturer directly… I am not sure if this product is even the delayed release or not.<br />I am a pharmacist, and I know several probiotics like Florajen, VSL, have to be refrigerated. Plus its not just the matter of lack of efficacy, but something that’s not viable could actually be harmful!<br />Manufacturer’s website doesn’t even work. I had heard great things about this product, but it all seems pretty sketchy now. I will have to do a lot more research.<br />On top of everything, this item is not returnable. Luckily Amazon was nice enough to refund me. Amazon should definitely look into this because its a health risk.

I just wasted $70 dollars - don't buy this. It was not only three days late but there was no attempt to keep it cold - as described with their other capsules and on their own website. My email to their CS went without a reply. Never again.

The bottle of Bio-K Plus was useless. It needs refrigeration. I later discovered on the FAQ page of the manufacturer's website, it states: "due to the nature of our products, which require refrigeration during storage and shipping, ... We have decided to put a temporary pause our E-commerce services until we are 100% sure that we can deliver high quality products to your doorstep and ensure your full satisfaction. Therefore, it will no longer be possible to order Bio-K + products via our website and our Amazon store as of November 17, 2021."

I had a bout of CDI after food poisoning at Burger King before Xmas 2021. My Dr. prescribed Vancomycin but every time I finished my dose the CDI returned. This cycle went on until February. After several Doctors and many doses of Vancomycin I didn't get better (CDI can be difficult to recover from). So, I searched high and low for an alternative treatment, I needed help and I was losing hope. I found an article about CDI on the NIH (National Institute of Health) website. They discussed a study of individuals that took this specific probiotic, Bio-K+ combined with Florastor, and it was successful but, it needed further study. I immediately bought both probiotics.and started taking them. The CDI symptom went away within a few weeks. I am now taking a maintenance dose. Bio-K+ has to be good for your gut if it can take away the symptoms of CDI.<br />(For many years I took a different brand of Probiotics everyday. I even took them during the time I was sick with CDI and they did not help my symptoms at all.)
