Dr. MercolaComplete Probiotics - 70 Billion CFU - Supports Immune, Digestive & Gut Health - Features 10 Strains - Shelf Stable - GMO-Free, Gluten-Free & Soy-Free - 30 Capsules (30 Servings)

Wanted to provide some balance to the negative reviews here. I have been on probiotics for about 10 years as a primary tool to manage colitis and gastritis issues. I consider myself somewhat of a "connoinseur" of probiotics. I have tried all kinds and observed the response. They are not all equal. I do rotate them.Mercola's probiotics are among the better brands I've tried. They are currently my probiotic of choice. When I need extremely high potency I go with VSL #3, which is unmatched in cell count per capsule. They are expensive, though, and I reserve those for the most extreme cases (serious flare ups).Mercola's 35 billion per capsule is a very high cell count, especially for the price. Some folks have complained about the price, but you have to look at the cell count. You do not find this high of a cell count for less than $30 anywhere. In fact, they are usually slightly higher than this. And often, they are only 30 capsules per bottle. This is 60. Considering the cell count and quantity of capsules, this is actually a pretty good deal, which is what caught my attention. Per 1-billion cells, this is a darn good price. I will say that by this metric, VSL #3 is probably the best deal, at 112 billion cells per capsule, with 60 capsules for bottle. Usually runs about $52 dollars. It's better deal by this metric, but paying $52 for a 2-month supply is more money out-of-pocket. For maintenance, this may be overkill. However, if you have Chron's disease for Ulcerative Colitis, then VSL may be your best option if you find Mercola's is not strong enough or you need to take too many capsules for it to be worth it. For most folks, however, Mercola's is potent enough (and more potent than most others at this price range).I give it 5 stars for effectiveness. It resolved my recent bout of colitis in a few days. I take 1 daily for maintenance, which turns in to $15/month. Not bad. I am currently on antibiotics for another issue and so am taking about 3 a day between doses.I highly recommend this product. Between this and VSL #3, they cover all of my needs.NOTE: I purchased mine locally, so I cannot speak for this particular distributor.

I trust Dr. Mercola and his products never disappoint. The Complete Probiotics product is definitely the best deal for the diverse amount of strains.Take care of your gut and it will take care of you!

I've suffered from gastrointestinal issues for years, such as chronic pain, bloating, acid reflux, etc. stemming from Crohn's disease. When I finally received the diagnosis (it took years and lots of testing), I was put on medications that I had to take multiple times (5-6) per day and had bad side effects. They also had many horrible side effects that could occur from long term use. None of the medications were any type of "cure", but mostly masking symptoms or keeping them partly under control. This was not how I wanted to live my life, so I started to keep an even stricter whole food diet and added Mercola's Complete Probiotics to my morning routine. I have now been off of all medication for months now, but my Crohn's symptoms that I used to deal with on a daily basis have yet to reappear. I have run out of these probiotics and had to wait a few days to order them (I know, I should get auto refill!) and definitely noticed a difference with some bloating and stomach pain that I used to deal with every day, so I know they definitely work.Also, I was hesitant to try probiotics in the first place, because I'd tried many other things that didn't work and was wary of the cost. I did A LOT of research and Complete Probiotics was definitely the best deal for the amount of pills in the bottle, as well as the amount of strains. These probiotics have really made a positive change in my life and allow me to live a normal lifestyle, despite my autoimmune disease.

Good product - have been ordering a quite a long time

Product seems to work and be tolerated well. My only issue is that the bottle only had 29 capsules instead of 30. At about $1 each, it would be gray to get all 30.

High quality product worth every cent.

I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis and have done everything in my power to calm my immune system (changed diet, rest, stress reduction, hydration etc) ... I know my gut health is paramount and have been taking another brand of probiotics for almost a year with no real results, physically or blood test improvements. One week into taking Dr Mercola Complete Probotics and I feel SO much better! Joint pain is less, digestion issues gone, brain fog reduced a ton, fatigue improved.I will say, the first 3-4 days of taking them I had a constant dull to moderate headache and my joint pain and fatigue increased dramatically. I was racking my brain trying to figure out what food or environmental source could have triggered a flare. I did a little research and found out this was a NORMAL reaction to taking EFFECTIVE probiotics ... they were doing their job and my body was clearing out toxins that were keeping me unwell.I am going to continue taking one in the AM and one in the PM and will report back after my first bottle is gone and new blood test results come in regarding my inflammation levels and antibodies.

I was really excited about this product because it's from Dr. Mercola (a health nut) and it has A LOT of probiotic strands. However, I feel as if my old probiotic did a better job even though it had less strands and it the total amount was less. I'm back to feeling more constipated, gassy and bloated. I'm just guessing, but I wonder if it is because my old brand (SunBiotic) was completely plant based and therefore better absorbed. Either way, I'm going back to Sunbiotic after this bottle is done.
