Probiotics 120 Billion CFUs 18 Strains, 3 Prebiotics & Digestive Enzymes for Men Women,Digestive & Immune Support,Shelf Stable Non-GMO 60 Capsules

The ability of a probiotic to bypass the acidic environment of the stomach is one of the most important factors in determining whether the probiotic is effective. If the probiotic is delivered in the form of a gummy or standard gelatin capsule, the bacteria will be destroyed before they can colonize the digestive tract. Manufacturers can get away with this because it is not illegal to sell a supplement that doesn't work.Upon ordering this product, I was alarmed that "gelatin capsule" was listed as an ingredient. I decided to compare the acid resistance of this product with that of a standard gelatin capsule. I did this by submerging both products in a citric acid solution (pH ~1.5-2.0) and comparing the results.The pictures above depicts the experiment at 0, 20, and 35 minutes. The standard gelatin capsule began failing at 20 minutes and was completely compromised at 30 minutes. The probiotic gelatin capsule began dissolving at about 20 minutes, but to a much lesser extent than the control capsule.At the 35 minute mark, I removed the probiotic to determine whether it's contents were exposed to the acidic solution. Although liquid did penetrate the probiotic capsule, the filling formed a protective gel that kept a significant portion of the probiotic dry.Conclusions: The capsule which contains the probiotic is significantly more acid resistant than the standard gelatin capsule. If taken on an empty stomach, at least some of the bacteria should reach the intestines unscathed.Limitations: Stomach liquid contains enzymes that can break down gelatin, which were not accounted for in this experiment. This would likely reduce the time it takes for the actual gelatin to dissolve. If this product is taken on a full stomach, it is unlikely the probiotic would survive. It must be taken on an empty stomach with a full glass of water (water increases the rate of gastric emptying).

One a day is all it takes. Seem to have what's needed to make it through the stomach acid - and still work!

I can't believe I finally found some probiotics that work !! My brand went out of business and I had to find a replacement. I bought Dr. Gundrys, which didn't do anything there, so expensive too! I tried a few different expensive brands on Amazon nothing worked! I can't believe the cheapest brand so far I've tried works just as well as my original one that went out of business!!! Absolutely amazing. I'm so happy my tummy is finally flattered. No more bloating! I guess never go off of prices the more expensive options aren't always the best working!

This product is a genius! Who says that prebiotics should always come in foods or beverages?! ☕️ Although a first timer, it has maintained my hunger 'sweet' cravings and bloated constipation issues, especially after eating a starchy, heavy dinner! Also, I'm taking this supplement with ice or lemon 🍋 water 🧊 💧 before bedtime is a great requirement, after exercising, and its worth the price, indeed!!!

This is a good product and a very good price compared to other brands. I haven’t had any digestive issues since I started taking it. I will definitely be a regular customer.

Good value. Thank you

I haven’t really noticed any difference and I’ve been taking them for almost 2 weeks. I’m not sure what to expect but I honestly thought it would be somewhat a different feeling.
