Dr. Mercola Non GMO 70 Billion CFU Probiotics

have switched to his powder packets

Wanted to provide some balance to the negative reviews here. I have been on probiotics for about 10 years as a primary tool to manage colitis and gastritis issues. I consider myself somewhat of a "connoinseur" of probiotics. I have tried all kinds and observed the response. They are not all equal. I do rotate them.Mercola's probiotics are among the better brands I've tried. They are currently my probiotic of choice. When I need extremely high potency I go with VSL #3, which is unmatched in cell count per capsule. They are expensive, though, and I reserve those for the most extreme cases (serious flare ups).Mercola's 35 billion per capsule is a very high cell count, especially for the price. Some folks have complained about the price, but you have to look at the cell count. You do not find this high of a cell count for less than $30 anywhere. In fact, they are usually slightly higher than this. And often, they are only 30 capsules per bottle. This is 60. Considering the cell count and quantity of capsules, this is actually a pretty good deal, which is what caught my attention. Per 1-billion cells, this is a darn good price. I will say that by this metric, VSL #3 is probably the best deal, at 112 billion cells per capsule, with 60 capsules for bottle. Usually runs about $52 dollars. It's better deal by this metric, but paying $52 for a 2-month supply is more money out-of-pocket. For maintenance, this may be overkill. However, if you have Chron's disease for Ulcerative Colitis, then VSL may be your best option if you find Mercola's is not strong enough or you need to take too many capsules for it to be worth it. For most folks, however, Mercola's is potent enough (and more potent than most others at this price range).I give it 5 stars for effectiveness. It resolved my recent bout of colitis in a few days. I take 1 daily for maintenance, which turns in to $15/month. Not bad. I am currently on antibiotics for another issue and so am taking about 3 a day between doses.I highly recommend this product. Between this and VSL #3, they cover all of my needs.NOTE: I purchased mine locally, so I cannot speak for this particular distributor.

I purchased these complete, and the women’s formula, and alternated using them. I felt that the womens did not make my gut feel as good as the regular complete formula. So I’ll stick with this complete formula. It also took some time to adjust to these. I have taken probiotics regularly for over a decade so it’s not that the probiotics were new to my system. I think most likely what I had to adjust to was the delayed release into my system. The product description says the capsules are harder and release the probiotics into the small intestines. This was probably the initial discomfort I was feeling. I did get used to them after a couple weeks and they do work well to make your bowels more regular.

This is my 3rd bottle. Yes it has made a difference in my digestion issues.

I have just started using these probiotics but they seem to be working very good. Much better than the Hyperbiotics PRO-15 that I bought before ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEKYNZA?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00 ). Infact the Complete Probiotics by Mercola are working as good as the Renew Life - Ultimate Flora Critical Care ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002FK1TQ2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00 ) but they cost much less, which is exactly what I was looking for. I will continue to take these and update my review as needed. I am also going to be trying Nexabiotic ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0050FKPU0/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=PGSUE0OBLM5X&coliid=I2VSC4CCGF9T30&psc=1 ) which have also received good reviews around the net. Remember, the more strains your probiotic has, the better they are likely to work good for you, and the Nexabiotics have 23 different probiotic strains, the most of any probiotic on the market, so I am looking forward to trying them too. As of this writing though I am very happy with how well the Complete Probiotics by Mercola are working. They work as good as my favorite probiotics (Renew Life - Ultimate Flora Critical Care) but they cost much less.UPDATE:Still taking these and they are still working great. Looking forward to trying the Nexabiotics and now a new one by Renew Life - Ultimate Flora which contain a whopping 90 CFU ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNX8LVY?colid=PGSUE0OBLM5X&coliid=I31I2UM0IBUD0B&psc=1&ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl ). Really glad there are some good probiotics on the market to buy. My gut flora has never been happier.

Great product. Recommend highly.

I was really excited about this product because it's from Dr. Mercola (a health nut) and it has A LOT of probiotic strands. However, I feel as if my old probiotic did a better job even though it had less strands and it the total amount was less. I'm back to feeling more constipated, gassy and bloated. I'm just guessing, but I wonder if it is because my old brand (SunBiotic) was completely plant based and therefore better absorbed. Either way, I'm going back to Sunbiotic after this bottle is done.

Es la mejor marca en la que puedo depositar mi confianza. El Dr Mercola está comprometido al 100% con sus investigaciones, consejos sobre la salud y con sus productos de excelente calidad.
