Jarrow Formulas Probiotics 10 Billion CFU - Probiotic Supplement Capsules for Gut Health for Women and Men, 120 Veggie Capsules, Up to 60 Days

This review is not to put down or praise probiotics by Jarrow, Now or any other brand. However, I truly wanted to help you folks out there who are trying to fight yeast infections and oral thrush. It's a hard battle where you can't eat your favorite foods like cheese and sugar for months and months till you are sure you've won the battle over these organisms. I tried a traditional 'cure' and it's working unlike anything. Elders in certain cultures tell you to eat your yoghurt with salt & roasted crushed cumin (instead of sugar) to replenish your gut and deal with problems like constipation and other issues. My elders told me the same as well but I just couldn't think a simple thing like yoghurt could be really all you need! We have stopped trusting food, we have stopped trusting SIMPLE things in life. After years of battling oral thrush and taking candida formulas or probiotic pills, my thrush would go down and come back with a little cheating on food or simple stress!!! I was losing the battle. Finallyyyy, I thought of giving yoghurt a try. WOW. This is the real thing that works unlike the best of probiotic pills. After just 2 weeks of having half a cup of salted or plain yoghurt in lunch and dinner, my tongue is not only pink but I have also dared to incorporate foods like banana (which is sweet), sourdough breads, & milk and although my tongue would get only slightly white the next day, it would totally clear up by lunch time. With probiotic pills & herbal formulas however, if I slipped and indulged in a glass of milk at night lets say, the entire tongue would be heavily coated white the next morning and would take a day or 2 to come back to normal. What motivated me to try plain yoghurt was reading somewhere that instead of using herbs to kill yeast or candida, one should focus on inducing more good bacteria in the gut which eats up the bad guys without producing toxins and is a 'biologically smarter' way to wage war on bad bacteria. I not only stopped taking probiotic pills by Jarrow but also stopped taking the homeopathic Candida High Potency 9 formula and just the YOGHURT ALONE did the trick and I couldn't be happier & pleasantly surprised! I was sick of popping pills and I think I have been fortunate finally to have the sense to try a simple food to help the body. I think if we start eating the right things in the right measure, our bodies can do the rest and help themselves in adjusting to a healthier state! When we think and eat wrong, we create disease and when we think and eat the right stuff, why can't we get back to our original state? Yoghurt is the cheapest and healthiest cure you can find for your condition. Whatsmore, if you add some herbs or spices to it along with salt, it can be a delicious addition to your lunch and dinner. Try adding chopped cucumber, red onions, cilantro to it with salt & red chilli powder for a filling dip. I have also reduced the yoghurt intake to 1/4th cup 2 times a day and I am still doing good! This is my 3rd week. Hope some of you try this real, inexpensive and wholesome remedy and come back to comment after your success. Cheers to good health on the planet.

This product really helped me improve my gut health. Only downside is the big size of capsule.

Here we are with another GOOD, BAD, & the UGLY review. This time, for a probiotic. As you may know, most probiotics get destroyed in your stomach juices. You have companies like Seed creating innovative ways to deliver these bacteria to your intestines where they can benefit you. However, Jarrow took the old school approach. So let's jump in to this review and see what is really going on.GOOD:Price (dirt cheap compare to so many other probiotics, and I got it with a Prime discount)Extremely Effective (instantly see great results, especially when it comes to eating vegetables and moving your bowels)Packaging (each pill is individually sealed)Does not need to be refrigeratedEasy to swallow capsule (not to small, not to large)Enteric coated (breaks down over time)8 different strains (average probiotic offer 6 at best)BAD:Only 5 billion CFUs (Average probiotic on the market is offering 15 Billion+)UGLY:No Prebiotics in the capsule (this is okay as you can easily supplement this with a cup of vegetables) :TOverall, I can't recommend this product enough. I am sure that just like everyone else, you have taken x amount of probiotics to only wonder if it works. This on the other hand, I can assure you that it works and it works well. Especially if you have trouble moving your bowels or digesting your food (especially broccoli). This little guy will get you the results you need throughout the day. Don't delay and purchase these as soon as possible for better intestinal health.

I have ulcerative colitis and have had two c-diff infections in the past. My gastroenterologist suggested I try probiotics to help with flare ups and to maybe lessen the problems with c-diff. On the one hand, there isn't a lot of scientific proof probiotics help. On the other hand, it's not really going to hurt you either. With that being said, probiotics seem to help me.Jarro-dophilus was the first probiotic I ever tried. Because of my disease, I usually look for probiotics that have more than 3 strains and several billion units. This one has 8 strains of "good" probiotics with 5 billion units. To me, the higher the numbers, the better chance it will have some type of effect. Also, because of the c-diff infections, I try to get brands that have lactobacillus rhamnosus. This brand has it.The nice thing about the Jarro-dophilus is that there are 120 capsules. A lot of brands give only 30 or 60 capsules and you have to be careful because they may say take two a day. If it's 2 capsules a day, 30 capsules isn't even a one month supply. This brand says take 1 to 2 capsules a day so conceivably, it's either a two to four-month supply depending on how many you take a day. My GI doctor suggested I take one a day and only go to two a day if I'm having a flare up or other symptoms.Although it's not a big deal to me, Jarro-dophilus does not require refrigeration. I've used types that require refrigeration, require refrigeration after opening, or don't require it at all. They all have worked fine for me. If you are one to travel a lot, you may want to consider ones that do not require refrigeration. Also, it's a bit more convenient when you don't need to worry about refrigeration, especially on days you're in a rush and trying to get out the door. You don't want to get to work and then wonder if you remembered to put the probiotic back in the fridge.One thing that surprised me was that these come in blister packs within the box. I would have preferred to have them all in a bottle, but it works the same. Maybe the blister packs are more convenient when traveling.Overall, I think this is a very good product that has worked for me. My doctor suggests switching brands every so often and I tend to make sure Jarro-dophilus is in the rotation.
