SolgarAdvanced Multi-Billion Dophilus Vegetable Capsules - Pack of 120 - 4 Curated Strains of Beneficial Microorganisms - For Digestion and Immune Support - Vegan and Gluten Free

Update: I first bought this product in June 2016 (after my Mum bought me a couple of bottles to try) and it cost £9.18, a perfectly reasonable price. In October 2016 I bought some more £12.49, ok a bit more pricey but I can probably cope with that. March 2017 it was £12.84. I have logged on today (May 2017) to buy more as I have nearly run out and it is now £20.19!!! With a claim that is should be £28.50. That is an increase of 119.9% in 9 months!!! That's absurd and has rendered it too expensive for me. I am now going to suffer; get daily, severe pain because a good product has increased from 15p a tablet to 34p per tablet - that's £122.84 per year on one tablet. I don't know whether this is due to Amazon or Solgar or a global shortage of good bacteria, I've not been able to find a single article to justify the price hike, but I'm really upset - I've lived with chronic, severe gut pain for years (I was known as hot water bottle girl at work!) then I finally find a product that helps only to now have it rendered unaffordable a mere 9 months later. Really really upset. I will buy one more jar because I can't face the pain again with such little warning but then I will have no choice but to do so.Easy to swallow and some bacteria must make it's way to my gut because I've noticed a marked improvement in my IBS since I started taking it a little over a year ago. I used to have daily pain and was known as the girl with the hot water bottle at work (the only thing that took the edge off the pain). I now get hardly any pain and if I do get a funny episode I don't get the dreadful, incapacitating pain that would render me useless for at least 12 hours any more. I think there may also be an improvement in my energy levels too, at least I certainly notice a dip if I miss a couple of days. I started on two a day initially to create a good culture in my gut and now I take one a day as maintenance.

I have suffered from IBS for about 40 years. I have tried many different probiotics over 7 or 8 years. Some were no good, some made me worse. I didn’t like supermarket probotic drinks because of the high sugar content and also to have one drink a day soon becomes expensive. About two or three years ago I tried Solgar and this did seem to reduce the number of flare ups, and also generally seemed to make my stomach more settled. Prices can vary considerably, so I tend to shop around, although Amazon is usually competitive. If you have gut problems, these are worth a try.

I have a degree of suspicion about supplements in general but I was talked into trying these by my wife.I contracted heliobacter pylori 12 years ago and was also diagnosed with duodenal ulcers. I was successfully treated but my stomach has been fragile ever since with regular bouts of bloating and acid indigestion.I have been taking one of these daily for several weeks now and they have undoubtedly made a difference. Bloatedness has disappeared along with the acid indegestion and overall my stomach feels completely settled for the first time in years.My advice would be to try these pills but be patient. It took approximately a week to ten days for me to start feeling like they were making a difference so don't expect a wonder cure after 1 day. Would highly recommend.

Amazing product I have diverticulosis and this product works wonders I have even told the doctors but they say it’s a grey area but I tell them they are amazing got my daughter to get them as she has bowel problems and the tablets soon sorted her out

Excellent results, faster and more pronounced than with any other probiotic brand I have tried over the past 4 years. They keep painful candida symptoms completely at bay as long as I take two capsules daily. I'm hoping the capsules will work on the brain fog and fatigue next, I've only been taking them for 1 month, so time will tell. Thus far I am very impressed. I also haven't had any of the side effects that I got from other brands (digestive discomfort, headache, spots), which is another major plus point. The capsules are fairly large but I don't find them difficult to swallow, and they have no smell or taste to them.ETA: For some reason, the past 2 bottles I have purchased have been of reduced quality. All of the capsules are only partially filled instead of fully, approximately half of the capsules have been chipped/damaged around the seal, with pieces of the capsule missing. And there has been a significant amount of loose powder at the bottom of the bottle and clinging to the cotton wool inside, where before there was no loose powder at all. I'm hoping this is just a bad batch, and not a result of cost cutting during manufacture.

I have CFS and read that adding a probiotic would help me with my energy. I have been taking these for a while now and although I do not notice a big difference in my energy levels, there is still some difference. A little while back I stopped taking these for a few months and when I went back on them I had a die off reaction (where the bad bacteria die off and cause cold like symptoms), so at least you know they are working! I have tried other brands but find these are the best for me. I am now trying home made yoghurt to to get even more probiotics in me.

Thus product works great ..my elderly mum has used these a while and really helps

I really rate this product. I suffer from IBS and have done for years I started to take it and suddenly noticed after about a week my IBS symptoms were significantly reduced, a further week on and they were virtually non existent and have been every since. It's lovely not to spend the evening with stomach discomfort. Will definitely buy again as it seems to do the trick and my digestion feels a lot better for it.
