Nature's Way Fortify 50+ Probiotic, 30 Billion Live Cultures, 10 Strains, Prebiotics, 30 Capsules

Relief!

As someone with chronic digestive issues, I have been using probiotic medications for years. Some required refrigeration or other inconveniences, many were costly with exaggerated claims, some required elaborate preparation, such as mixing powdered ingredients in water. Finally, I stumbled over Fortify for 50 . It works quite well. It's relatively inexpensive. It can be stored at normal room temperatures. It can be taken with or without food. I take one capsule at breakfast. It must contain the best gut bugs, as my results are easy and regular, and I tend to feel better throughout the day. This is a nostrum I can stay with

Contains magnesium stearate

Annoyed with myself for not checking this out thoroughly before buying... Not only does it contain magnesium stearate but it is NOT third party tested... Apparently, it is "thoroughly" tested in-house... not what could possibly be wrong with that???? Ha

Have noticed results.

I am on my third bottle of Fortify. The first two did not say over 50 but I was happy with a noticeable difference in my regularity and with the fact that, despite being exposed to people with colds, coughs, viruses, etc., I had not "caught" anything. When I saw this "over 50 " option I decided to order it. When I compared the two labels it is really hard for an amateur to tell what the difference is between the two products. The both have the same basic strains in the same amounts, but there might be a slight difference in sub-strains or something. Then again, it might be a marketing ploy. In either case, both products work well; both are packaged in thick, dark, glass bottles to protect the product; neither needs to be kept refrigerated; and the price point for both is favorably comparable to similar products. NOTE: I used to use a more expensive and refrigerated probiotic recommended by my immunologist called Flora-Gard. It was more expensive and the anecdotal results I can report were the same

I have suffered from a form of IBS for many years, and since I had started using a probiotic it had got better, less diarrhea and bloating etc. no sudden urges after eating to run to the restroom. i used this brand 30 billion and switched just this past week to the women 50 what a big mistake since then I have had all the above, plus gas and black stools, painful abdomen etc..

Wow! Definitely works and quick acting!

I have been dealing with bloating, stomach gurgles, and diarrhea or constipation on daily basis for months and was getting so depressed because my clothes are too tight. Tried not eating all day to avoid bloating and gurgling, tried exercises to decrease my stomach but nothing has worked. I am constantly in the bathroom with diarrhea or trying to go with constipation. I tried this yesterday morning and woke up today with no bloating and a regular bowel movement, one in the morning, not all day long. My abdomen is back to its normal size and my stomach is not gurgling. I'm only 47, not 50 years old yet, but apparently my body responded to it beautifully! I will definitely buy it again! It's worth every penny

Works well – Been using for 4 months

My gastroenterologist had me start taking probiotics after a severe case of C. Diff from an antibiotic. My friend, who always does a lot of research, recommended Fortify. I had IBS type symptoms, and these really helped me. I recovered after 2 weeks of (more but a different) antibiotics, Fortify, and changes to my diet. I continue to take Fortify 30 Billion and have issues when I don't take them. The first time I ordered them from Amazon, I got a great deal ordering 3 bottles at once. Now they want me to sign up for auto-refill which I don't want and don't like. Anyway, they are much less expensive here on Amazon than at my beautiful local health food store where I can easily take things back when they don't work ou. And THEY really need the business unlike you know who

Helps with Constipation!

I was looking for something to help with very annoying constipation issues and to my surprise, this actually helps! It took about three weeks to start helping so don't give up. Once daily with metamucil twice a day (metamucil on its own wasn't doing the trick) has really made a difference. Such a relief
