In today's world, intestinal flora are at an all-time low; this product has 34 strains each of which has its own benefits.I'm an aging athlete (almost 70) and my performance is noticeably better when I take two of these a day (one with each meal). They recommend one a day, but this product has 100 billion CFU and since they have another with 500 billion, and since I feel better when I take two, I know I'm not overdosing.I also ferment all my foods (using this product) which gets rid of the lectins that cause Leaky-gut Syndrome, the source of most ailments. It wasn't until after I started fermenting all my foods that my leaky-gut was cured. If you've got health issues, chances are you've got Leaky-gut Syndrome. The best thing to do is Google it and find out.I'm currently, as of this writing, doing a 10 and 1/2 hour full-body weightlifting routine which takes me three days (I lift every other day). On the days in between, I cut down dead trees, chop them up into manageable pieces, dig out the stumps (all with non-powered hand tools, ax, saw, shovel, and rake); then drag it all away across two acres with a hand-pulled cart.

I used to buy this product regularly in the past and I’d have great results. Then I noticed the container changed from glass to plastic, with the notation “no refrigeration required” which was not the case with the glass container’d product.I began having dreadful gas and constipation issues but had no idea what was the cause until I decided to read the reviews, specifically the bad ones. Two people pointed out the same issues and one person mentioned the company had been purchased by NESTLES which coincided with the switch to the plastic container. Raw probiotics NEED refrigeration or they die.Company purchases by NESTLE was all I needed to know. I will not buy this product again. Read more

Nothing compares to Garden of Life Raw. Whatever I've purchased from this brand has worked very well for me, but this stuff is over the top. I purchased the bottle that doesn't need to be kept cold. After taking the first time I had mild stomach discomfort followed by a purge of everything. Make sure you can be at home when first taking this pill. I've been taking for a week and I have more energy. Was taking other probiotics that had 1 million and then upped it to 10 million live cultures. A billion is much much better. Was concerned at first because I have Crohn's and sometimes a product will have an undesired affect. However, all RAW products have worked well. Read more

Garden of life has been the only probiotic I have been using for the last 7 years, if it was not garden of life I did not want it. I’ve recommended this brand to my friends, family and clients. Any where I go in the world, this is the brand I always recommended to increase the intestinal flora.I am honestly disappointed, in this product today because it came to me piping hot with no insulation or in no cold pack as usual. I’ve been using it and have had no reaction whatsoever like I would usually have. I’ve not used probiotics in a while and anytime I begin to use them, immediately I get a change in my digestion and bowel movements, not so In this case. I’ve even tried taking more than at a time, and nothing has happened. I was recently in England I recommended them to clients and friends over there and the package came in a cold pack to keep it cool, the very first time I ordered them they came packaged properly to preserve the bacteria, but unfortunately for me after purchasing this time, they came hot to the touch in regular amazon bubble packaging envelope.Whether it’s amazon’s fault or the company’s something, has to be done to regulate the packaging of such sensitive products.The link for the support website does not work Read more

I took my sample for the Viome test after 28 days of consistently using this product. None of the listed strains were found. I understand this is not necessarily as meaningful as it might appear, as microbiome testing is a very immature science, however, this was enough for me to stop buying this product. Read more

I had been taking antibiotic over 3 years. I must have lost many good bacteria. This probiotics is potent. I can feel it's working inside my body. I have chronic rhinitis and my nasal passages have been opening up ever since I took this probiotics esp right one with huge swollen lining problem. Last night, I believe biofilm came out from my right nasal passage. The consistency didn't seem like mucus. It was an odd experience. Ever since that, the right nasal passage has been staying open without any trouble for a few days. I have taken other probiotics and never happened like this before. This probiotics really works.

Purchased from seller "iServe" and received a good batch of probiotics. Performed the milk test to confirm this.Will keep purchasing from this seller.So far, I have been using these Probiotics to heal Leaky Gut with a regime.So far, I am slowly improving. But understand that it takes more than probiotics to heal. A strict diet, adequate sleep, exercise, stress management, meditation, and a plethora of anti-bacterial and anti-fungal protocols is a must. But first and foremost, a bowel, liver, kidney, and gallbladder cleanse is highly recommended, if not a must as well.Remember that doing so much damage to your body from poor habits and life style isn't worth it. So to repair, heal, and fully recover from years of bodily damage will take time. Some say a few months, several months, or over a year. It depends on your age, the damage incurred from inflammation, and how well you stick to your regime.Self-discipline and willpower. A good support system will go a long way.Hope everyone well and good health. Read more

My 3 bottles arrived today, (I greeted the delivery service) and immediately, I opened the package to warm boxes of probiotics. I put all boxes in freezer.I wrote Gardens of Life before purchasing. They said Amazon is their main UK distributor. Surely, they wouldn't condone a delivery of warm probiotics. Probiotics have to be kept at least cool. I'm considering sending back right now. Disappointed. Read more

I bought this product as it has 34 strains and over 100 billion count. My first order was delivered in a plastic bottle and I had no problems. I received my second order today, before I even open the pack I knew there was something wrong as I heard sounds of things hitting together. When I open the pack, I saw a completely broken glass bottle, may not even have all the pieces of glass bottle as it looked like pieces were missing, mixed with tablets. The colour of probiotics were also quite different to the original ones I had. The contents are totally unsafe and I am returning the product. It is a big shame as this is one of the best probiotics in the market. Whoever packed the product should have picked up on the fault as it was obvious that the contents were broken. Read more

I have digestive issues (bloating, constipation, acid reflux, gallstone) and I haven’t been able to eat a normal sized meal for a couple of years now. I tried digest gold at first, which helped with the uncomfortably full feeling after meals, however due to the high cost I thought I’d try these, which are cheaper but seem to be just as powerful. However, they did not make any difference at all. In fact, they gave me acid reflux which is what I’m trying to avoid. The 3 stars is because the seller is top notch! Im sure others will get relief with these, however this is just my experience. Read more

I think they were OK but I cannot justify paying that much again for them. The price is the reason for my low score, if you are not concerned by it, then to me they were OK. Read more

I've always been a fan of garden of life but very disappointed to see the product has changed. The container has 1/5 of the space filled with the probiotic capsules and my initial thought was 'have they given me less capsules?' apart from the container size being too large.....so I decided to count them. Only 31 received in the box NOT 34 as advertised.Also they are way smaller than the capsules used to be - I assume the ingredients have changed?Please send another box with extra capsules! Read more
