hey some people were asking what i thought about probiotics. there are only two products in my opinion that are worth even a second glance and that is Udo's choice super 8 (my favourite) and VSL #3. both are expensive, and they should be because they are produced correctly and refrigerated continuously after they reach store shelves.
primal defence, threelac and most other probiotic supplements are just garbage. one more thing, people advise to take probiotics with meals and this is incorrect. take probiotics first thing in the morning with alot of water. this will encourage the pills to bypass your stomach and implant directly in your intestines. and dont be skimpy, take alot. udo's choice maybe five pills a morning (each pill has 30 billion probiotic cells) or VSL take maybe 2 or 3 (each pill has 250 billion probiotic cells but they are not as potent as the strains in udo's choice)
alright, sorry for the rant. i just hate reading such stupid suggestions as "take probiotics with meals"

MoreThis is a reply to # 845,911I don't think the people at Udo's Choice agree with your assertion that it's stupid to take probiotics with meals.
The Super 8 bottle specifically says you should take it on a full stomach. Do you have reason to believe they are wrong about this?
So you've tried Primal Defense and all of the other ones that are considered to be top quality and you've seen unequivocally that they don't deliver the correct quantity of probiotic?- Re: one more thing - real probiotics canuckguy

MoreThis is a reply to # 845,932yes, i am aware that the bottle of udo's choice (just like the bottle of vsl) says to take their supplements with meals and i have done this in my past when taking these supplements. i have found, however, that this has not helped at all. how could it? your probiotic supplement will sit in an acid bath for an hour before moving to your small intestine. i am just recounting my personal experience, lennyh, not trying to preach. but i do feel strongly about this issue

This is a reply to # 845,911It's difficult to compare probiotics while their compositions and purpose vary quite enormously.
I can only talk about the ones that were tested on me via biofeedback:
Primal defense had many beneficial strains and are more transient in nature, serving more to mop up residue in the intestinal track.
Threelac was suprisingly one of the best for me for quite a while, likely due to having strains that feed on fungus (which seems to be in excess in my gut). I was tested yesterday and no longer seem to benefit from threelac.
Most acidophilus/bifidum type probiotics appear to be no good for my gut, they never tested well (these are the majority of probiotics outthere).
By far the most beneficial strain that has been consistently tested well is lactobacillus sporogenes. Perhaps its due to their remarkable stomach acid resistance, but these babies have highest implant rates of all probiotics.

This is a reply to # 845,911Canuckguy, what do you think of Healthy Trinity? I am taking those and they are so damn expensive. They too say to take with meals.

This is a reply to # 845,911I disagree there is maybe two that recommend that you take your probibtic with a meal. It helpes it to absorb faster in the intestine. The makers of the probotic don't need to be put in the refigerate since the regigerate kills it. It sticks to to the colon and smalll instine as it should. If you put it in water that would be ok to active it. But it depends on the company and how it can attch itself to the intestines. It makes a big difference.
