Just Thrive Probiotic & Antioxidant 100% Spore-Based Digestive Support | 30 capsules, 100% spore-based probiotic and antioxidant formula, Gluten free, Supports digestive and immune health

Here is my wife's experience as she tells it:I have had severe asthma not long after birth accompanied by childhood eczema, teen acne, and many intestinal issues which I was always sure were connected. I have seen many doctors and have tried so many natural and conventional treatments with very little relief. At times I have been bedridden for months. Then I caved in and started taking Advair which has kept me functional for the last 5 years. I have been off of processed foods and industrial sugars for 9 months with some improvement. I successfully weaned myself off of my corticosteroid inhaler exactly one month ago by incorporating Weston A Price dietary principles. Their website is where I listened to the best podcast I have ever heard. It was given by Kiran Krishnan, one of the makers of this probiotic regarding the intestinal mucosal layer permeability. That instantly resonated. But I proceeded cautiously due to past disappointments. I now knew healing the gut lining was vital for healing most diseases. This was the puzzle piece I have been missing all along. I spent many hours of many days researching and listening to other presentations of his as well as various published medical studies and Write ups from other medical professionals. So I thought I would try the gaps diet (touted to heal and seal the gut lining) and along with that take this probiotic since taking a good one is part of the protocal.Started gaps this Wednesday. Very difficult when you have a physical job due to not having enough energy.Thursday I had to take my rescue inhaler 5 times which is a lot for me, I chalked it up to die off reaction. That evening before dinner I received Just Thrive. So discouraged by then, I assumed it wouldn't have minimal benefit if any. I took it anyway.Woke up Friday slightly better. Still a little tight in the chest. Skin looked more vibrant. BM was good but not a complete emptying. My dear mother in law stopped in a remarked that my eyes were sparkling. By nightfall I hadn't used my inhaler but gave in before bed due to increasing tightness and some wheezing. Decided to put gaps diet on hold but still follow wapf principles.Saturday was similar to Friday. I pushed through the wheezing and tightness most of the day and then gave in before bed and took a puff. It is so demoralizing to have to do it.Today is Sunday. I woke up this morning with noticibly more energy, no tightness, no wheezing. I felt unusually optimistic about my health and I feel calmer and happier in general. Nightfall came and still no asthma symptoms! I'm telling you, the results so far are beyond anything I've ever experienced. That's why I had to write this on only day 4. I will do a follow up review on day 30 detailing any progress or regression. I honestly don't anticipate any regression, but you never know.For the record, I am a God fearing woman with a lot of faith. I totally believe in the power of prayer. We are wonderfully designed. And I have confidence that the bodies we are given can heal if given the right tools. Of course, I wasn't expecting a miraculous cure just asked for direction and wisdom to find something better than chemicals to help me breathe and to see that I don't fall for bad advice. I am sure this is part of the answer to those many prayers and diligent searches.Lastly, thank you Kiran and associates for your insight and for making this amazing probiotic available to the masses so afdordably. I will recommend it wholeheartedly. I am a customer for life now! And my husband will soon be too!I am happy to answer any question or provide links to the information I mentioned in this review.Update: 1.5 months later....Remarkable improvement continues.I meant to update this a few weeks ago, sorry for the delay. Thank you for your interest in my story. Happily I am still off Advair (my corticosteroid) and I can go 6 or 7 days without taking my rescue inhaler which means since I began taking these probiotics I have gone from what would be classified as moderate persistent asthma to intermittent asthma (the least intense classification). My main triggers are smoke (including wood smoke), potatoes, and animal dander. I am able to walk several miles briskly and climb many flights of stairs without getting out of breath or needing my inhaler. Since I clean houses for a living, I implemented wearing a medical grade mask when servicing the few homes with pets until either my lungs fully recover, if that is possible, or I replace those clients which I would be sad to do because they are some of my favorites. Let's see, I am still following wapf dietary guidelines, eating real high quality traditionally prepared foods while avoiding industrialized foods and oils. I'm getting stronger each day for sure. Since neither of us has caught any of the nasty bugs going around among our friends this season, and because of the incredible improvement in my health, my husband and I will definitely stay on Just thrive as long as we can. My mother in-law is also impressed with my progress and has expressed an interest in taking it so I am off to order hers right now.

im convinced these probiotics have played a extensive part in boosting my immune system.very happy with purchase

This probiotic has been a life saver for me! My health fell apart after a round of cephalexin antibiotics over 9 years ago. Poor digestion was the root cause, likely caused by the antibiotic wiping out important organisms in my microbiome. While I have clawed my way back to decent health, my stomach always hurt after I ate (except on the carnivore diet), regardless of how clean my diet was. I tried many other probiotics and specific strains based on recommendations from various sources (often reputable, but sometimes just anecdotal ones), but they usually made me feel worse or only marginally better. After running my problems and genetic data through AI, it recommended I try this type of probiotic, as many of the ones I tried are actually not appropriate for both my genetics and my specific health issues. Who knew! Well, it was right - this probiotic has drastically improved my gut function (no more stomach aches when I eat and improved regularity of bowel function), which has helped my mood, decreased my physiologically-induced anxiety, and restored my energy level, which had been chronically low for almost a decade. I can’t say enough good things about this probiotic. There is a similar one, but it can only be ordered through a practitioner, so I am sticking with this one since it works so well!

I've been taking this supplement daily on my doctor's recommendation. It does not need to be refrigerated, and it is said that because this probiotic is spore-based, it makes it all the way into the gut without being ruined by stomach acid, and it contains antioxidant properties. Some longstanding G.I. issues of mine have cleared up, and that coincides with my taking this supplement. It's pricey, but for me is well worth it.

It works well but it's much to expensive.

Great product

Works great! No stomach issues.

Wow, I am thrilled by the positive difference this probiotic has made!! I have a gluten problem which really worsened, After a horrific adverse reaction to CIPRO and caused me to wonder if I may have developed Celiac. (I do have the SNP (genetic +/-) for one of the genes) . Cipro injured my muscle-skeletal system, central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and disabled me for 4 years, my gut changed too for the worse. I could no longer tolerate Any grains at all, Or black beans, chick peas, pinto beans etc. Being a thin person, this made me appear too thin. Inflammation, pain, misery.....though hungry, somewhat apprehensive about meals becuase of possible discomfort or pain. I eat organic, and no packaged food. Have taken various probiotics over many years and a few were pretty good. BUT with a leaky gut, and sensitivities that had worsened....it has been exhausting, and a struggle to just live without this preoccupation.Man what a joy it is to have found Just Thrive! It has only been 5 days and from day (1) I noticed a difference! My abdomen is not swollen or distended, and my energy is better. What a Blessing! I experimented one day by having a organic brown rice protein powder drink. I wondered if I would be able to manage.....so far so good. I will try to add more non gluten foods that have been off limits and see how it goes. This has been a wonderful find and exciting in that the science regarding gut health, microbiome of the gut, immune system are an emerging field with great improvements for all of us searching for nontoxic ways to regain, restore our health, maintain it and prevent illness.It has only been 5 days....so I imagine that after an extended period of 90 days that many improvements in my constitution will have improved due to better absorption of nutrients. Will return to post at that time! God Bless the folks behind the product, you have done a wonderful thing.Update July 25th 2015:Well sorry to say, but the improvements are no longer....instead my GI issues are as "prior to using these strains". I muscle tested the product a 2nd time to clarify with my kinesiologist and the test revealed that the strain Baccilus Indicus seems to have become an issue where it was Not at first. Why? Do not know, but I will retest & or "revisit this product in 21 days to see if things have changed. It may be the production of quinols that is an issue? I wonder becuase of my adverse reaction and injury from Cirpo which is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This is speculation and requires research.Bacillus Indicus HU36Potent immune stimulationProduces high levels of carotenoids – lycopene, axtaxanthin, beta-caroten, lutin.Produces quinols and vitaminsTransient strains have about a 21-27 day life cycle in the digestive system. Each individual cell spends about that much time in the gut in various sections and tissues. During their time in the gut, they do attach and colonize.They attach, they metabolize, they grow by binary fission and they alter the environment around themselves.The strains have the unique ability to exist in various segments of the digestive tract and in various tissues; the mucosa and epithelium.So when you consume a capsule, the cells move along through your digestive tract and colonize different locations. Some stay in the upper GI (small bowel), some go on to ascending colon, some to the transverse colon, some to the distal.

Just Thrive sounded fantastic Expensive but I tried it and had a bad reaction.Body flushing with racing pulse. I suggest if on blood pressure medication or cholesterol tablets be aware that it might interfere with certain meds
