I am a Health and Fitness Specialist and emphasize the important strains you need to maintain your health. So many people just buy over the counter probiotics without reading what's in them! Here's a copy of what I send to all of my clients who I require take THIS probiotic. It is the strain and WHAT THE HECK IT DOES: Lactobacillus acidophilus relieves gas, bloating, improves lactose intolerance. Shown to help with a 61 percent reduction in E. coli, lower cholesterol levels and creation of vitamin K. Also, important in GALT immune strength. Lactobacillus rhamnosus supports bacterial balance and supports healthy skin, helps fight urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and reduce anxiety by reducing stress hormones and GABA neurotransmitter receptors. Also, survives GI tract. Bifidobacterium longum supports liver function, reduces inflammation, removes lead and heavy metals. Bifidobacterium breve helps colonize healthy gut community and crowd out bad bacteria. Lactobacillus casei supports immunity, inhibits h. pylori and helps fight infections. Bacillus coagulans an endospore probiotic thats heat-resistant and improves nutrient absorption. Also has been shown to reduce inflammation and symptoms of arthritis. Streptococcus thermophilus, is an important strain that may support colon health, support the immune system, protect against small intestine irritation, and also fight against antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Bifidobacterium infantis alleviates IBS symptoms, diarrhea and constipation. Lactobacillus gasseria can help to reduce belly fat, inhibit fat production, speed up metabolism, and protect against obesity. Lactobacillus reuteri increases the number of Treg cells in the intestines, which can then be absorbed back into the blood to benefit the rest of the body. L. fermentum shows many promising health benefits, such as boosting the immune response, improving liver health and lowering cholesterol levels. Saccharomyces boulardii a yeast probiotic strain that restores natural flora in the large and small intestine and improves intestinal cell growth. Its proved effective in treating inflammatory bowel disease like Crohns disease. Its been shown to have anti-toxin effects, be antimicrobial and reduce inflammation

I very pleased with the effectiveness of this probiotic. I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and prescribed Doxycycline and knew I had to take a good probiotic to keep my healthy bacteria strong. I chose this particular one because of the level of CFU's, as I'm extremely sensitive to antibiotics and was concerned about the effects on my body from the Doxy. I received it within 2 days of ordering it, but had to start the medicine before it arrived. Without the supplement I had extreme nausea and digestive discomfort. Within the first days of taking the Gaia I felt a marked improvement. I take one capsule twice a day about an hour after taking the antibiotic, and the nausea disappeared. The gastro problems also went away. Ive also avoided developing a yeast infection, which I usually get every time I take antibiotics. I will definitely continue to take this after I done taking antibiotics as I tend to have a very sensitive gut and for the first time in years I have some relief.

I've been taking these for a few weeks, I only take one at night time. I didn't realize until I read these other reviews that probiotics are more potent if kept in the fridge, so I'm doing that now. They've worked well with just taking one a day and not kept in the fridge so far. These are the best probiotics I have ever taken and I've tried lots of them. These keep me regular and less bloated. I definitely am not craving sweet stuff, which is another advantage of taking probiotics at this dose. Plus, everyone around me has had a cold and I never got it, so I definitely think it has helped with my immune system. If you're going to take probiotics spend the extra money to buy 30 billion CFUs anything at a lower dose like those I've been buying at the drug store were not effective or I didn't notice a significant change. CVS sells this potency for early double the price of this. I will definitely be a repeat customer, they work!
