Probiotics 30 Billion Cfu

I migrated to the US a year ago. Since I've been living here I started to experience bloating, excess gas, distension and discomfort almost on a daily basis (usually at bed time). On discussing with my brother who has been living in the states for over 13 years, he suggested the food I am ingesting may be upsetting the balance of my gut bacteria and causing these symptoms... I am originally from the Caribbean and our diet is made up of a lot less processed foods and different chemicals/pesticides in our veges, fruits and meat. I started to purchase ONLY organic and stayed away from canned food, but that did not seem to ease the problem either. I added over the counter gas tablets (3 top brands) to my daily regime and none of these helped in any way. Out of frustration I mentioned again to my brother. He sent me an Amazon link to the Nutrition Essentials Probiotic (which he also uses and believes in). I immediately purchased using next day delivery. I started to take the morning after I received the bottle and discontinued the other probiotics. I noticed a change in my bowel movements within 2 days of taking the product (DOSE: 2 tablets on an empty stomach with an 8oz glass of water). Must say it has made a HUGE difference in my regularity and the 'quality' :) of my poops! Its been a month and I am mostly symptom free (unless I eat some crazy gassy foods like baked beans and broccoli), but even if I do experience more gas than usual with these foods, it is not accompanied by the severe bloating and discomfort like before. This probiotic is a KEEPER! Just wish it was available in my regular grocery, pharmacy or healthy food store!!

After taking this for only 3 days, I am already feeling and recognizing the good things this can do for my overall health and well being. I was beginning to suffer from constant diarrhea, a roughening and blotchy skin tone, sleeplessness, and overall listlessness. Life was getting to be a real chore and more dreary every day. For the last 3 days, I have taken one of these every morning and another every evening and am beginning to feel like a real human being again. The diarrhea is gone, I am sleeping better and feeling better all over. Starting tomorrow, I will cut my usage down to only one of these every morning and see if any thing changes. I have been doing research on probiotics and have learned some very important things that I believe should be taught at every grade schooler: First is that antibiotics, which are frequently given to people with infections, normally will kill many of the healthy proboitics that we were born with and may times, these just don't come back well. I have also learned that all probiotic pills don't have the same probiotics that we need and the differences can cause the restorations that we need to be sporadic and lesser or more effective for different people. If I don't get a really positive continuation of the effectiveness that I feel I should be getting from this particular brand, I will next experiment with taking another brand along with this one to see if there is any improvement. Will try to keep this review updated with my results. Also: I strongly recommend that everyone who has a good search engine in their web browser, do a search on the word, "probiotics" and do a little research. This has proven to be VERY educatioal for me and my family!

Amazing! Alert -- review may contain TMI. Backstory -- I've suffered from constipation for years -- and over the last 4 years, hemorrhoids as a result. June 2025, I added psyllium husk (for this condition plus high LDL cholesterol) twice daily plus more fibrous foods and more water. Didn't help. January 1 2026, I started the product called EMMA twice a day - much lauded for gut issues. Well, EMMA worked right away. Too well--- I went in a normal amount in the morning, but also 3 or 4 more times a day in a small amount --- very, very irritating for my hemorrhoid condition! Even when I took only 1 a day -- still going way too much. So I started this product Physician's choice 10 days ago. And I read up on WHEN and HOW to take probiotics and psyllium husk to maximize the benefits. It works!!! I take one a day and I go once a day and it feels complete. Perfect! Here's how and when: 1. - Breakfast - Psyllium husk in a full glass of water -- within 15 minutes after (or during but NOT before) a breakfast containing at least 5 grams of fat for binding (1 egg is enough). Leave a gap of at least 2 hours between Psyllium husk and probiotic at lunch. 2. - Probiotic at lunch - with at least 5 grams of fat and at least 2 hours after Psyllium. Don't take these together. NO hot beverages/soup/liquid 15 minutes before or after Probiotics -- heat kills it. Probiotics do well when taken with food (warm food is fine) because it helps protect them from stomach acids. Better survival to get to the intestines where they do their job! 3. - Dinner - Psyllium husk within 15 minutes after (or during but NOT before) a meal with at least 5 grams of fat for binding. Full glass of water. At least 2 hours after Probiotic. This is a true testimony. My gut is working and I no longer feel like I'm sitting on a cactus. Try it -- it just may change your life!!!!

For the record - I ordered a bottle of nutrition essentials probiotic all on my own (twenty bucks). Maybe two weeks later, I received a post card from nutrition essentials with an offer for an additional free bottle (or a bottle of one of their other products) if I were to write an HONEST review. Since I was planning on ordering more anyway, it saved me twenty bucks and motivated me to write a review (something I haven't done in a while but enjoyed doing in the past). After a lot of research on probiotics in general, then hesitation on which brand to try - I landed on nutrition essentials. I was especially hesitant to try big box store brands given recent scandals in the actual ingredients in supplements (their weren't any of the claimed ingredients). As many of us know, supplements ingredients are not FDA regulated. Hopefully, some day that will change. Nutrition essentials has claims of independent verifications, and given their relatively low cost I decided to try them out. Not a whole lot to lose if there was no effect anyway. So, I ordered a bottle of and started taking a dose in the morning, before breakfast, with warm-to-room temperature water. First thing I noticed was no after taste, or upset stomach of any sort. So far so good. A few days later, I noticed I was just generally feeling better, lighter... an absence of gastro issues. Mind you, I wasn't having terrible issues to start with - just kinda gassy after certain foods, or I'd wake up with in the middle of night, with gastro discomfort usually resulting in a 15 minute trip to the bathroom. But all that started going away, and I realized I had more issues than I thought - now that I was feeling much better. The final push to try a probiotic was a round of antibiotics for a sinus infection that turned in a major jaw joint (TMJ) issue. The antibiotics just aggravated the gastro issues I already had. Also, I don't take any other supplements. I tried fish oil a while back for cholesterol, but didn't see any results and gave up on supplements in general. But then, something unexpected happened. I ate hot buffalo style chicken wings and didn't have any gastro issues. I know, stupid to eat a food that makes one sick, but damn I love buffalo chicken wings - hot style with bleu cheese. I ate them, was anticipating the stomach pain and burning trip to the bathroom in the middle of night - but NOTHING. No pain. No issues. Everything normal. So I wanted to push it and see if I could eat anything else and not have issues. I could always eat cheese - but not ice cream or milk. I drank some milk - no issues. I ate ice cream - no issues. I honestly don't know if probiotics are supposed to have this kind of effect, but either way, I can eat things I couldn't before, now without issue. It's nice to live without an anxiety of eating certain foods that I had before. Something else happened that was very odd. The rest of my family (wife and two young kids) all got terrible stomach viruses, vomiting... the works. And for the first time... I didn't catch whatever it was they had. None of us could believe it. Normally, if their sick for 2 days - that meant I'd be sick for 5 days no matter what. But not this time. Again, not sure if probiotics are known to have this kind of effect. My wife started taking them now because neither of us can believe how much better I'm doing. She was on some strong antibiotics too, for other issues. I'm trying to talk my dad into taking them because he's gone through back-to-back rounds of antibiotics for oral/tooth infection issues. He's got heartburn so bad that he's afraid to eat anything. I'll bet it's because his good bacteria was wiped out and all that's left is bad bacteria and stomach acid. So, so what... I can eat chicken wings and ice cream and milk again. But here's the best unintended side effect - because I see a real change (even a small one) in my health, it's kick started my motivation to get healthier. I ordered Nutrition Essentials Neuro Clarity (which unfortunate doesn't seem to be doing squat) and I started taking an off-the-shelf multivitamin. This has led to baby steps in working out which I'll then turn into motivation to use that gym membership I'm paying for. So for me, the twenty bucks is totally worth it. In summary, I'm very pleased. I can eat foods that I couldn't before, I'm sick less and it kick-started a healthy mindset and action. For the price, it's really worth a try.

Excellent product
