I have had the opportunity to try out a few different probiotics over the years. While I cannot say that I have had any bad experiences with any of them, I do see that some may provide more benefit than others. The challenge is in the balance between a good product at a comfortable price. I have tried products on both ends of the spectrum. While my results may have been good with more expensive products, the question was did I really need to spend $50 a month when $20 would be fine.After reading several articles and reviews about many different products, I quickly learned that there is much debate, everyone has a preference, and there may even be some misconceptions about what to look for in a probiotic. After recent digestive surgery and both my GI and surgeon strongly recommending I take probiotics daily, I decided to seek a product that would work well and not break the bank. Terranics has been great!While I am no expert when it comes to all of this stuff, I did learn along the way that there is much hype about the numbers of CFUs in a product, with ranges from 2 to 100 billion. While many think that more is better (this makes sense), two different intestinal specialists shared the same thing as the research. Look for the number of strains in the product first. It was shared with me that 10 was a minimum, and now perhaps more is better. When you consider products with multiple strains and a high CFU, the number of product choices narrows down a bit. Many lower-cost products have fewer strains but may boast about a high number of CFUs. Some will have large strains, but low CFUs. It can be difficult to find both, at a reasonable price.I have found Trranics to be one of the better products I have found. I first tried the product a month ago, having ordered them from Amazon the day before being discharged from the hospital after colon surgery. I started taking them when I got home. While in the hospital, I had a lot of time to read articles and reviews. After all, how much day time TV can one watch? The reviews were good, the price was good, and thought I would give it a try. I have been very pleased with the results. Within about 5 days of being discharged, things had returned to normal in terms of digestion. My docs too were impressed with how I progressed so rapidly, as constipation and diarrhea are typical challenges post-op. Yes, I did have some initially (as anticipated), but it was minimal and I was feeling much better the week after surgery. I was thrilled with this, as it was suggested that I could have these issues for several weeks to perhaps months post-op. In fact, at the first sign of constipation, I was advised to use Miralax. In anticipation of this being a regular issue, I got the large bottle. One month later, I have used just one serving. I am confident that these probiotics have helped to make sure things are moving as they should with virtually no issues.I have continued to use the product every day, I generally take 2-3 capsules a day, at different times of the day. While it may be just fine to take 2 at a time, I think it may be best to split your dosage and I sometimes take with meals three times a day. I am happy with my results, so why not ensure a healthy gut.As I got low on product, I ventured to the local fresh food market to explore some alternatives. I quickly learned that similar products were double or more in price. It was easy to see that this is a good value. I am thrilled with the results and the price makes it affordable to take as suggested. I have now ordered more and plan to use regularly.

I have searched for over 2 years for help with my insides. I take meds that horribly affect my intestines. I can't stop these meds so I've tried to find help and researched that probiotics could be my best bet. Unfortunately every product I tried either didn't work at all or barely helped. I was at my end when I saw this one and that it was reasonable on my Subscribe and Save so I tried it. SUCCESS! I'm on my second bottle and this has changed my life. Everyday is normal, and regular and if you suffer with your intestines...GET THESE! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE! You will be very pleased with your decision. A+A+A+A+A+😊😊😊😊😊HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Update 1/16/21-I continue to find absolute success with these to TBE point that my IBS doesn't bother me anymore. They are smaller than a nickel as photo shows and so easy to swallow that even taking 2 at a time is no problem. I will continue to use these babies-they are the cats pajamas! If you have any tummy or intestine problems you will do yourself a big favor taking these. Give it a few days, this is real and has to get into system properly. One day you'll wake up so happy!HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I has tried several other probiotics before landing on this one. It has been a life changer!

I recently started taking this probiotic (about 2 weeks now) and have been pleased. This is the first probiotic that I have taken so I do not have anything to compare it to. However, I was not 'regular' prior to taking this and I can tell that my body is becoming more 'regular' and routine. I have less bloating which is always a plus.Prior to ordering, I did a fair amount of research on our bodies ability to absorb before the probiotics are killed off by our stomach acids, the number of ideal strains and CFU's. Based on my findings and comparing numerous products, this seems to be the best bang for your buck!

Anybody who writes about the probiotic milk test: Many probiotics are microencapsulated or enteric-coated to survive stomach acid, which prevents them from interacting with milk unless the coating is broken down (milk isn’t acidic enough to do this). This can lead to a false negative result, even if the bacteria are viable.Also not all probiotics strain do changes to milk: Only certain probiotic strains, like Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, or Streptococcus thermophilus, ferment lactose into lactic acid efficiently enough to curdle milk. Other common probiotics, like Bifidobacterium species, may not curdle milk under typical test conditions (e.g., due to needing low-oxygen environments) but are still viable and beneficial.If a probiotic doesn’t curdle milk, it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ineffective or dead.

This supplement is easy to use, boosts gut health, has no unpleasant smell, and is a very good addition to everyday health.
