Nature's WayComplete Probiotic Pearls, Supports Digestive Balance*, 1 Billion Live Cultures, Supplement for Men and Women, No Refrigeration Required, 90 softgels

Small, easy to swallow. I'm 10 days in taking one each morning and my gut feels great! I was doubtful as to whether or not a probiotic would make a difference, but it really has.

Your body will always seek way to rid itself of toxins. If you're irregular, you're body will find another way to rid of it another way. One way is through pores within your skin, causing blemishes to break out all over your skin like a 16 year high school kid. At 33, that's both frustrating and disgusting at the same time.YES!! I've been a dedicated customer of this product for over three years and have consistent positive results. I order it once per month along with a few other items on my monthly Prime account. I used the Pearls YB version for about a year and a half, but recently switched to this form (IC) at my doctor's recommendation because it provides such a positive support during pregnancy.I had been taking two pearls at a time with the YB version to promote feminine health. The directions indicate taking one per day, but I easily get a yeast infection (sorry, TMI) monthly. One per day was not working. I wasn't about to give up, so I confirmed with my OBGYN and regular GP that it's safe to take two. I did and never had a problem again. No more constant calls to my doctor with yet another infection. The same scenario goes for this version, it is an incredibly effective and reliable product.With the IC brand, it not only improves feminine health, but also helps with the taboo issues that often go hand-in-hand with pregnancy (constipation, gas, and irregularity). Once again, to help prevent unwanted illness during the winter months (which can be dangerous to baby, plus miserable for mommy because you cannot take any OTC products without significant risk to your baby) my doctor recommended this form (IC), two per day if one wasn't efficient. I don't like yogurt, and for the safety of my unborn child, it's essential that I take a probiotic in addition to the norm of Folic Acid and DHA that's so crucial for brain and neurological development. Even better, as I said it also helps remove toxins from your body in a healthy, safe way that makes my body operate like clock work; comfortably and safely.I hope the pointers I've made here will help you make an informed decision. Whether or not you choose to invest in this product, at least you've made an informed decision based on information from a dedicated and happy customer of this product. I've found that both Pearl (YB) and (IC) are incredibly useful and amazing products.

Pearls IC contains a large number of varieties of lacto- and bifido-bacteria. Due to poor diets, not enough fiber, yeast or fungal infections, etc. many people have what amounts to Irritable Bowel Syndrome, creating gas, distended abdomen, listlessness/lack of energy, abdominal pain, constipation or diarrhea and other complaints. Frequently those with a lack of proper intestinal flora suffer from bad skin and breakouts (toxins try to exit the body via the skin instead of the bowels). I had many skin breakouts that took ages to heal, but after being on the Pearls for a couple of weeks, these long overdue red sores have healed, and new scrapes and pimples tend to heal quickly.I've tried many different probiotic formulas over 3 decades. Pearls IC and Pearls YB are absolutely the best I've ever found. The hard outer coating means the friendly bacteria are not destroyed by stomach acids and enzymes. The pearl is able to pass through the stomach undamaged and finally dissolves in the intestines where the bacteria can go to work at full potency. I noticed a positive change on the second day after starting to take them. Abdominal pain and stress are markedly reduced. I became more regular, with a bowel movement twice a day or more. Other symptoms continue to improve. If this keeps up, I expect to have a normally functioning gut in the space of a few more months. Many kudos to Enzymatic Therapy for developing this effective delivery system that is head and shoulders above anything else I've ever tried.Note: For anyone diagnosed with Candida, bacterial or fungal infections, I highly recommend the Pearls YB formula which also contains Lactobacillus plantarum (not included in the IC formulation). Plantarum has antimicrobial characteristics that appear to create unfavorable environments for bad bacteria and fungus. I highly recommend Enzymatic Therapy's Pearls products.Note #2: If you notice an increase of gas, bloating or abdominal discomfort when first taking these or other probiotics, don't be fooled into thinking this is necessarily a bad reaction. Your gut may harbor a huge amount of unfriendly bacteria and fungus, and as these are being attacked and destroyed, there may temporarily be more toxins being created as the bad guys die off. Drink plenty of fluids and keep taking the probiotics. After a few days, the good bacteria will get the upper hand and the symptoms should start decreasing. This is known as a healing crisis. Consult with a reputable doctor who is knowledgeable and effective in nutritional healing with any questions, and if any symptoms do not clear up.UDATE: 27 AUGUST 2013: It's important to note that your body's needs can change over time. My wife and I use muscle testing (kinesiology) to test if our bodies react well to the different foods and supplements we take. I used to test very strongly for the Pearls IC and YB formulas, but now I don't. I'm currently taking Jarrow's Jarrow-dophilus capsules and they're simply amazing. They contain a broad spectrum of probiotics that are stable at room temperature (no refrigeration necessary) and are enteric coated so that they dissolve in the intestines and survive the stomach acids. The probiotics in this formula are:L. rhamnosisPeiococcus acidilacticiB. longumB. breveL. helveticus (L. acidophilus)L. caseiL. plantarumLactococcus lactisI've noticed a stabilizing and regularizing of my bowel movements after about a week and a half on this product. There is a noticeable change of mood and optimism and a generalized feeling of health and vigor.

The size and smooth texture make these easy for my 85-year-old mother to swallow, even though she has difficulty with a lot of pills.And, I think these help to keep her regular.

Great, only need to add L Reutieri and a few others but helpful.

This probiotic has been a game-changer for both me and my dog! I originally bought it for myself, but after some research, I found out it’s safe and effective for dogs too. It's so convenient to use a single product for both of us. I’ve noticed improved digestion and overall gut health, and my dog’s coat is shinier, and her digestion has improved too. The clean ingredients give me peace of mind, knowing we’re both getting something beneficial without any harmful additives. Highly recommend for pet owners looking for a versatile probiotic!

great probiotic for regularity and no need to refrigerate so perfect to travel with also.
