Optibac ProbioticsEvery Day MAX - Advanced Vegan Supplement for Digestive and Immune Support - 75 Billion - Most Researched Lactobacillus Acidophilus - Probiotics for Men and Women - 30 Capsules

Hard to tell what works while you take multiple vitamins and such. But I have no reason to doubt it and not like there are any side effects to show. So whatever, peace of mind.

I was using Optibac Everyday Max for a couple of years. It contains a good blend of strains that have been studied for respiratory health and constipation relief. The packaging says you can take two, and I have had to take two capsules in order to get the full benefits. So this brand has drawbacks (1) the price makes it very expensive to maintain use long term (2) the stearate fillers (3) low dose of the strains. I found the Renew Life brand version with the same strains at a much lower price and an an considerably higher dose of the strains- and no stearate fillers.

There's a lot to like about this probiotic blend:Easy to swallow, doesn't have to be refrigerated if stored in cool/dark cabinet, quality container, etc.The main positive for me is that it hasn't triggered any negative reactions. It can always be a bit dicey trying new products, as my system can be sensitive. I've been using this for a couple of weeks and haven't correlated any of my daily symptoms with this product, which is definitely a win!Am I still dealing with gastro noncompliance? Yep. But at least I've had some rumblings of movement and things aren't worse. Time will tell if this product provides more benefits, but the lack of additional issues is a good sign for me.Unfortunately, the value feels a bit lacking, but it does feel that the brand cares about their products.

After a week of using this probiotic I noticed a change in how often I am going to the bathroom. I used to go once a week and I was always so constipated. I had horrible stomach cramps and gas pain. After I started taking the supplement I noticed my gas pains were gone and I no longer have stomach cramps. I am always going every day now, sometimes multiple times a day. I am very pleased with the probiotic and I will be ordering again once my current bottle is finished.

There’s a lot of probiotics out there nowadays and not all are created equally. With so many different genera and species available, it’s important to understand the difference to get the right results.I’m looking for a probiotic to assist with my wife’s lactose intolerance. So the bacteria genus she needs is Lactobacillus which produces lactase, the enzyme for breaking down lactose. And ideally the species she needs is acidophilus because it also fights off female bacteria.So this product is ideal with the primary bacteria being Lactobacillus acidophilus.Otherwise for any probiotic, the general goal is also to decrease bad bacteria so that the good bacteria can take over, and Bifidobacterium lactis does just that.Long story short, this probiotic provides just what we were looking for. At the moment we’re only on our first jar and it can take sometime before the long term affects show themselves.I’ll also point out that it’s vital for the culture to be living, so thankfully the jar includes both “MFG Date” and “Best before” dates. My jar was just made 3 months ago and have another 2 years before it dies off, so no worries there.Altogether good, just not 5 stars because I’d prefer probiotics to be delivered in cold pack to ensure living culture.
