Symprove Probiotic, Original Flavour, at Least 10 Billion CFUs, Water-Based, Vegan, Dairy & Gluten Free (Pack of 4 x 500ml)

I have been using Symprove for a few months now and I can say that it works! It's brilliant, my bloating is gone. It's an easy and now integral part of my daily routine and I certainly notice the difference if I miss a few days. I have tried all flavours and my favourite is Strawberry & Raspberry. I can't recommend it enough - literally life changing.

Why did you choose this product over others?:I’ve been taking Symprove every day for years now and I can’t believe the difference it’s made to my gut health and overall wellbeing. I wouldn’t be without it.

I was recently introduced to this at a health fair.I get bloaty/crampy IBS that can at times be horribly debilitating not to mention incredibly painful. I've done quite a bit of reading into probiotics to try and support/improve my symptoms - there's a vast choice and mixed reviews as to effectiveness.The plus points of this:live bacterial strains - the claim is "quicker activation" than freeze-dried counterpartseasy to take form that ensures maximum bacterial transit to the intestinal tractdoesn't contain anything to stimulate digestion - again, this backs the assertion that it then allows more of the bacteria to reach beyond the stomach - all those yoghurt based ones will get attacked by your stomach acid dealing with the protein.clinical trial results to back their claims run by a reputable hospital in London (there are few enough of those, and it does help to take some of the "guess work" out of effectiveness - although I'm a great believer in using placebo effect too, after all a placebo is a powerful thing with few side-effects!)The points raised by other reviews:Taste - personally I like the taste, it's really grown on me... and if you don't like it you can dilute with water really easily! It's a bit sour/vinegary. But if you've ever taken neat cider vinegar, this is frankly sweet nectar! There is also a flavoured fruity version (too sweet for my taste) and they're bringing out an apple/cinnamon variety in the new year.Expensive - yes it is (but so is any really good quality probiotic - and generally you get what you pay for). Also, I judge it in context of what price a comfortable/less stressed out gut has on my life and what I'm willing to shell out for that. It works out at less than £2 per day if you buy as a 4-pack and take the 50ml dose. That's less than the price of a fluffy coffee from a well-known tax-dodging coffee shop! on balance, I'd rather have this.the other thing, being liquid form - it's relatively bulky compared to tablet forms. I don't mind, it's well packaged and I'm not globe-trotting! There's also the advantage of it not having to have weird fillers and preservatives which many pill forms have.So has it worked for me?I have definitely had improvement in my condition, and a much more stable gut = less stressed unhappy me. I'm all for that. No I haven't had a complete cure, but then I didn't expect one - the gut is complex and relies on good consistent diet practices too, which due to work/stress/hours is rather disrupted at the moment. Indeed, in light of that I believe that the Symprove has had a marked supportive effect for me and I'm happy with the product.I'm about 55 days in, I've said I'll give it the recommended full 90 days before I decide whether I remain on it or cut it out (hence the 4 stars, as thus far, thus good, but I will try to remember to update after the full 3 months!). An expensive experiment? Perhaps, but I consider it worth while if it gives me a better quality of life as a result.It's horses for courses - there's no guarantee that it will be a silver bullet for you, but not every treatment works for every person in every situation. I also recommend phoning Symprove and having a chat to one of their staff - they're really friendly/helpful and may be able to give more tailored advice for your particular condition.

Symprove - I have used this on and off for years, I tend to use it 3 months on and 3 months off. I have tried other probiotics but none have been as effective for me personally. Its not magic you do have to try and eat healthily too but its a fabulous boost and my partner takes it now too.

The Symprove Original 12-Week Pack gave my digestion a VIP pass to smooth sailing. Easy to take, gentle on the tummy, and after a few weeks, I actually noticed the difference, less bloat, more bounce. Here’s to happy guts and feeling great from the inside out!

I've been taking probiotics for years, I have seen how much they help with the gut health. What is certain though, is that a supplement can work positively or negatively for each individual. Unfortunately, in my case I cannot tell if symprove does a good "gut work", because after taking it for two weeks I faced stomach symptoms, I felt this high acidity of the supplement which caused me reflux and regurgitation.So, now I am under stomach treatment with esomeprasole and special diet to change this bad turn. I am not a doctor but if someone faces stomach issues should think twice before trying this product.More research is needed by the provider.I also think the price is not affordable for someone who wants to use it on a daily basis.

Thought I had ordered the flavour version; it was only after I opened it that I realised that, somehow, my selection had moved to the standard version. Been really ill, so Iwill persevere with it despite the awful taste (like cold baked beans).

amazing this really works and I have recommended it to family who are now using it.many thanks
