Jury's still out on these. Sure, it's possible that 12 billion germs may be good for you but the claims that, somehow, eating these, in fact eating the dry spores that, under friendly circumstances, may become active germs that would somehow make your brain 'better' or 'healthier' is quite a few metabolic steps removed and, almost for sure, amounts to nonsense. But, hey, anything for a buck, right?<br />To make myself clear: eating or not eating salt would, for sure change the way you live. Same is true for breathing clean air vs. polluted air or taking/not taking certain vitamins. But claiming that swallowing the spores of some bugs would somehow benefit you, it's a big stretch.<br />The marketing states that 'many studies' have validated the claims. However, exactly zero studies are in fact cited and referenced. There is a relatively known doctor's name that, apparently, stands behind the product but that's probably as credible as certain athletes recommending some specific brands of sneakers - one wonders why they would do that. Oh, wait, they do get paid for it.<br />As far as my experience with the product, I did swallow the caplets, as directed. So far, nothing happened, good or bad. So it's not going to be a one-star review because the first Hippocratic rule is 'first, do no harm'. So, check that.

Cutting to the chase, I couldn't tell that these probiotics did anything good or bad for me. Of course, I don't expect my probiotics to make a huge change in how I feel - I just want them to help me stay healthy and in fairness I felt fine while taking these capsules. But I didn't feel any different than when I take lower-priced probiotics, which is why I don't expect to buy this brand in the future. Apart from that the packaging was good and the product seemed fresh enough. So other than the price I have no specific complaints.

I tried this to help with some digestive issues I have been experiencing, but after 3 weeks of using I have seen no noticeable results at all. May be a good product, but there is nothing to indicate that it works, is very expensive on the market, and has a lot of build up to it.

Knowing that this product contains 12 billion CFUs and 11 different strains seems great but not knowing the country of origin isn't so great.<br />Although it's great knowing this info, it's hard for me to write a good review for it as it's hard to tell if this does anything so I'm just trusting the company I guess.<br />As far as value, I've had other products that have a slightly higher potency for slightly less

I waited until I finished the bottle to write this review. This Stephen Sinatra’s CardioSense Probiotic supplement may not be the strongest one out there, but it works well and supports healthy digestion. At 12 billion CFU, it is potent, but I have seen some other supplements advertise up to 200 billion CFUs. However, one must question how much is really enough. This supplement works, and it helped me with digestion and regularity. It is advertised as having multiple unique probiotic strains, each with its own benefits - heart, digestive, and immune. There is a lot of research cited on the product page in support of all the claims the manufacturer is making, so I have no doubts this product is unique in many ways. The capsules are not too big and are easy to swallow. The serving size is one capsule so this bottle would last you a month. Overall, it's a good product, as it helps with regularity and has other benefits. It's a bit on the expensive side, but give it a try - it may be worth it for you.

It is difficult to say how helpful these probiotics have been for heart health. I had been experiencing heart palpitations (PAC's), and these seem to have decreased while taking these probiotics for a few weeks. Whether one has anything to do with the other, I don't know; however, I do feel confident that these probiotics are beneficial. They are easy to take and have not had any side effects. I also think they have contributed to digestive health. I don't about immunity boost. I got a cold while on them, so probably not much help there. I assume that these are helpful but the benefits are probably overstated.
