Chronic BV sufferer

Ok ladies ! I was a chronic BV sufferer! I was on round of antibiotics to no avail & yes while I've taken other probiotics, I felt maybe I wasn't sticking to taking them for a steady amount of time. I started taking these probiotics in February & by the end of February no sign of BV.... it is important to take the probiotics consistently on a daily basis for a continued amount of time ! I haven't stopped taking them since and it's been such a relief

Works to become regular

I swear by probiotics if you're having constipation or a hard time going to the bathroom. I started taking these once a day and within just a few days they already started helping me go every day and become regular. I wasn't going for sometimes a few days in a row even though I was taking fiber and eating fiberous foods. I've tried other brands and also the regular culturelle not specifically for women and didn't have much luck. I swear by these now

Works!

I have had female infections frequently. After taking these daily I've been free of all 'issues'. Highly recommend for all women! I actually signed up for auto shipments and I never do that

Let's just say she is a keeper it has been 6 weeks with this new regimen PH balance is perfect and no BV symptoms in sight. Thank Goodness cause I'm not taking antibiotics ever again

Amazon handling of probiotics

I just recieved my probiotics today in the mail, which was left on my front porch... When I went to open it the bottle itself and the pills inside were very warm to the touch. As you may know, probiotics have a short shelf life and are best kept in cool dark areas; when they are exposed to direct sunlight and heat, the bacteria can die... So this is less a review of the product itself and rather of the way amazon handles the package. I am not sure whether or not the probiotics are still viable but I would warn others against buying probiotics online unless you know they are stored in cool, dark areas. While I know this to be a very good brand and product, I think in the future I will just pick mine up in store

Feel great!

I had my first baby two months ago and am breastfeeding so I'm thinking about my overall wellness now more than ever. I'm giving my baby the Culturelle probiotic drops so figured I'd try the women's healthy balance for myself. I love it! Ever since I started taking it I immediately noticed a difference. If you want to improve your digestive and immune system then you need to get this product! Highly recommend!

lactobacillus

It constipated me and gave me a yeast infection. I started using them bc I have digestive issues but they only got worse. I did some online research and while not common, it seems like the probiotic lactobacillus has been shown to cause adverse reactions to some users. I checked the package and that's the type of probiotic that is in thus supplement. The articles online said to continue taking if you got bloating or constipation at first bc they'll go away once your body gets used to it. I was considering doing this until I got the yeast infection yesterday. Never taking it again. I want my money back

Gut health and regulation

The first week or so I didn't notice any immediate changes. My stomach is constantly upset so if it did upset my stomach I didn't notice. (I've struggled for a year now with constant upset stomach, low energy levels, and bad bloating.) I've finished the entire bottle and can say with confidence it greatly helped my gut health and and energy levels. I now have an appetite in the morning and sleep better as well, not to mention I lost about 5 pounds since taking it (likely from no longer being so bloated 24/7)

This is a brand my urologist recommends

When you buy a probiotic like this, make sure it has at least 1 billion CFUs, that it specifies the strain (like the "GG" in "lactobacillus rhamnosis GG", since some strains can survive your digestive system and others can't), and that it has some lactobacillus crispatus (some research suggests that's the best at fighting BV, although it was only done in vitro). This one checks all those boxes. My urologist recommended this brand to me for recurrent UTI's. I haven't found any brands that were much cheaper, but I do think they're putting a really high pink tax on these probiotics. I can buy 120 tablets of lactobacillus acidophilus for under $6, I don't understand why these ones are almost $1/pill

Must have for women!!

Ever since I've started using these probiotics about half a year ago I've noticed a significant difference. I don't feel bloated anymore and I feel as if my body is absorbing the most nutrients It can while taking these. I've always been very health conscious in the types of supplements I should be taking and these probiotics with healthy immunity and reproductive strains are a plus!! I stopped using it for a month just to see if It was really making a difference and the bloating came back. But when I got back on after a couple days I felt better! Never going back and will continue to take probiotics
