I function better with this Probiotic.

This actually worked to get rid of a persistent UTI. I repeat, it worked!I was suffering from a UTI for over a week. The symptoms werent worsening or spreading, but also not getting better. Because they weren't worsening, I didnt want to go to the doctor. But all the yogurt and cranberry (along with lots of water and healthy diet), werent working. I ordered the womens urinary support and took one tablet to first make sure there was no bad reaction, then started on the suggested 'intense support' on the bottle. First day the symptoms were far improved, second day I wasnt experiencing any pain, burning, or discomfort while urinating, or throughout the day. Its gone, but Im continuing treatment on a slightly lower dose just in case. This bottle is expensive but so worth the relief it brought me!I have taken the Pro-15 of this brand before and felt comfortable using this brand again. Im actually pretty hesistant to take probiotics these days after a terrible reaction I had to another brand that gave me hives that required being put on a round of steroids, and gas pain so bad that I was throwing up from the pain. (I believe that other brand gave me an overgrowth of bacteria in my small intestine - which is not the part of the intestine you want a lot of bacteria!) I would definitely recommend Hyperbiotics to anyone looking for a probiotic, and specifically the women's urinary support for those battling UTI's, BV, or yeast infections.Here's the breakdown of Side Effects I experienced:*Positive effects- Healed UTI rapidly- Regulated bowel movements- I noticed I have more natural energy. Has anyone else noticed this?Negative Effects- Increased my body odor- Tasted a skunky taste on my breath for a few minutes a day for two days in a row so far- slightly more gassy but not by muchTo me, the negative effects are proof its working and that its also pushing the bad bacteria out of my body. I sense they will be short term effects of taking this probiotic regularly.

I took these for a few months last year, since I was on a probiotics kick like everyone else. I then stopped using them because let's face it, they're expensive. Then, about 8 months later, I began getting regular UTIs after sex. The only thing that had changed at all that I could think of was that I stopped taking probiotics. Honestly, I'm not totally sure I've fixed my problem by taking these again (I've been taking them for 3 months now and had a UTI scare, just a scare, 3 weeks ago), but they're comforting. I like that they have d-mannose and cranberry extract, so taking them certainly feels like a preventative measure, and I WAS able to ward off that UTI 3 weeks ago (admittedly taking 4 of these a day, drinking 13 cups of water, taking oregano essential oil, vitamin c, and using uqora's UTI preventative drink mix--I was not messing around). In my honest opinion, drinking 13 cups of water for a week (and now 10, on a regular basis) has been the best preventative measure to fight UTIs because it means you're constantly flushing everything out of your bladder. But second on my list would be these pills, because I do think that once you've built up you're colony of gut and vaginal bacteria, which takes time (and also a decent diet, exercise, exposure to nature, filtered water, cutting back on soap, etc.), you are much less likely to get UTIs and other infections, particularly yeast infections, since you're overwhelming the area with good bacteria, which effectively compete with the bad bacteria for space and resources. Further, these definitely help fight GI distress when you're on antibiotics (again, replenishing the good bacteria that get wiped out by the antibiotics, which don't discriminate).

So a little about me: since I was a child I have had to deal with chronic yeast issues brought on by repeated courses of antibiotics. I have also recently developed some serious stomach problems (gastroparesis & non-ulcerative colitis). Needless to say, I spend a lot of time in the hospital.I have experienced the massive good probiotics can do me. But also the massive doses that are usually necessary to get those benefits.So, after this year's nasty stomach flu landed me in the hospital AGAIN, I was not looking forward to the dozens of pills I would have to swallow. I decided to give the Hyperbiotics line a try.I started with the ProWomen since I already take mannitol (protects the kidneys) & cranberry (since, ehrm, I'm a girl).I was impressed with the number & selection of strains it contained (8 strains, including l. reuteri & l. rhammnosus). The tablets (NOT pearls, like the original), however,and their base ingredients didn't seem at all special. So I was very cautiously optimistic.The company was very nice & sent an email to check up on my progress that contained extra information.I BEGAN TAKING 1 TABLET EACH MORNING FAITHFULLY ...Only 3 days later I noticed a difference! My bowel movements became more regular & less painful. A fluke? A coincidence?I WAITED ANOTHER WEEK ...My bowel movements became like clockwork. I had no gas or pain. Thrush (& other signs of yeast infection) had not returned, though I was still taking ONLY the ProWomen. I was less bloated. I had lost 2 pounds!ANOTHER WEEK PASSES ...Benefits have continued. Cut my gut pain/nausea medication in HALF. Still no signs of yeast.So, anecdotally, these worked for me. In a way no other probiotic has. With ONE TABLET A DAY.I will be trying the Advanced Formula next. But Hyperbiotics has definitely won my loyalty, & a well-deserved 5 stars.Now I just wish they made a PET FORMULA!!!

My doctor recommended it for me. It is a little more then I would like to pay.
