Why does this PB 8 product contain MAGNESIUM STEARATE? This is not a good ingredient and is unhealthy. I did not see it when I first ordered it on line thru Amazon. But I notice it now after receiving it. This is not necessary and many supplement suppliers leave it out of their ingredients. I am very disappointed and will not buy this product again.

So, I do not take this as a supplement, but I do use it to make coconut milk yogurt and it works very well for my purposes. The bacteria makes a nice yogurt, and I am getting live cultures as sort of a byproduct of that (I just like having my yogurt). Because these capsules are vegan, I can incorporate them into my low-carb vegan diet with no issues. Highly recommended for this purpose! I have also experienced no gut issues as a result of consumption.

PROS:<br /><br />OPTION OF VEGGIE OUTER CAPSULE :I don't like beef gelatin capsules, and this has a veggie capsule so that's a BIG plus for me<br /><br />EASY FOR ME TO SWALLOW - YES they are pretty large, but they're smooth going down to me,<br /><br />NO AFTERTASTE - Kind of a lemon smell to them<br /><br />WORKS! THIS works the best for me re overall stomach issues. Replaces the good bacteria, and my body responds well to it.<br /><br />PRICE: I have paid MORE, and had bad effects, so to get one that WORKS WELL...at this price...even better.<br /><br />CONS: NONE for me so far and I have been using for years.

It came with new looks and manufactures info on it and I researched it. I found that PB8 label design has been changed to new and it's now looks. Also the manufacturer info as Church & Dwight Co., Inc. that is mother company of Nutrition Now. So I think it's still trustworthy products.

I ordered this item expecting to get PB8 from Nutrition Now but instead I got this fake one from who knows who.

Probiotics can be so expensive, being on a limited budget this product works for me. I take one daily along with digestive enzymes, no stomach issues. The only drawback is you must keep these refrigerated so don't forget to do this. I do have to buy a different brand when going on trips that don't have to be refrigerated but they are more expensive and don't need often.
