Worth every cent.
I'll just start off by saying that several years ago while on active duty in the Army, I started experiencing bizarre health problems. I was very athletic and very active, within months it took all my will to physically get out of bed and get dressed. I was being "treated" for a urinary tract infection that got worse after antibiotic, to the point that they put me on the highest allowable dosage of cipro for nearly 6 months. After this I was basically a corpse, my entire body was shutting down and not one doctor had any clue what was happening to me. I lost 50 pounds within 4 months, and I was already very lean. My standard labs were completely normal, so they just brushed me off, until I insisted I do some blood work through research I had done myself. All the labs were off but it wasn't enough for them to figure out what was going on, my blood pressure would shift violently, so much that I was hospitalized, and even then they couldn't figure out what was going on.
This led to an extensive battle for my health for years, literally 5 years now. I spent over 10,000 dollars out of pocket on everything you could possibly imagine, did naturalpathic, homeopathic, and a host of procedures that vary from traditional to bordering on silly. I work in healthcare, so believe me when I tell you I did everything conventional medicine would give me. The only things that I noticed working for my multi system problems were probiotics, gut centered acupuncture, and loads of detox, gut health and antifungal supplements aimed at controlling a problem I believe started with an aggressive small intestine candida infection. I've taken dozens of probiotics supplements. I've found help from all of them in one way or another. After searching for a new probiotic I stumbled on this product that sort of floored me with its potency. More quality probiotics I've taken have between 5-20 million organisms and maybe 3-5 strains of the same basic strains. 13 strains piqued my interest, and I ordered immediately.
Within 5 days something started happening in my gut, I try not to exaggerate but I just can't think of anything I've ever felt that was similar. Sort of like active bowel sounds, but everything felt tighter then loose, like something was getting worked out, or something was being untied (I understand that my bowel wasn't literally tied, just describing the sensation). Over the last 5 years I have progressively gotten better, but am still plagued with debilitating brain fog, fatigue, pain and skin problems. Today I haven't felt clarity of mind quite so crisp in what seems like years. Maybe it's divine intervention, or just a random spontaneous positive upswing in whatever it is that's been trying to kill me for 5 years, but this is the first probiotic product I've taken where I've felt results within days and not weeks. Very impressive product you have here guys.
