Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I BOUGTH THIS BIO COMPLETE 3 ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO . FIRST LET ME SAY I AM A PROVIDER. I BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT FOR MYSELF OUT OF DESPERATION TO HEAL MY GUY. WITHOUT GOING INTO GREAT DETAIL AOUT MY GUT SUFFICE TO SAY THAT I HAD GUT SURGERY THAT LEFT ME WITH CHRONIC PAIN AND SIGNIFICANT BOWEL ISSUES. I READ EVERY STUDIES I COULD FIND FROM THE NIH(NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF HEALTH AND OTHER PEER REVIEWED STUDIES REGARDING GUT HEALTH. THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE THAT LEAKY GUT CAN BE A MEDICAL ISSUE WITH SOME PEOPLE . AFTER REAING THE STUDIES I WAS OFF TO HEAL MY GUT. I BOUGHT BIO COMPLETE 3. BIO COMPLETE HAD TRI BUTYRATE , BACILLUS COAGULANS , AND SUNFIBER. I AM GOING TO SPECIFICALLY TALK ABOUT TRI BUTYRATE . THERE IS A DECENT REVIEW OF THIS PRODUCT ON WELLNESS VERGE. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, I FOUND THAT GLUTAMINE MAY HAVE HEALING POTENTIAL. I ALSO FOUND THERE IS SOME EVIDENCE THAT BUTYRATE MAY HAVE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT ON GUT LINING. I THOUGHT IT WAS REASONABLE TO START GLUTAMINE, BIO COMPLETE , CHIA , AND A HIGH FIBER DIET . I ELIMINATED ALMOST ALL PROCESSED FOODS. WHAT I DIDN'T TELL YOU EARLIER ABOUT BUTYRATE IS THAT IN YOUR GUT THE CELLS THAT MAKE YOUR GUT LINING /BARRIER USE BUTYRATE AS AN ENERGY SOURCE TO MAKE ATP ( ATP IS THE ENEGY SOURCE ALL OUR CELLS NEED TO SURVIVE) . WHEN YOU TAKE BUTYRATE AS A SUPPLEMENT , YOUR GUT CELLS TAKE THIS BUTYRATE TO MAKE ITS ENERGY AS OPPOSE TO GLUCOSE. MY THOUGHT WHEN I READ THIS WAS " WHERE DOES GLUCOSE GO ??? EVERYTHING I KNOW ABOUT METABOLISM IS THAT WHEN WE HAVE MORE GLUCOSE THEN WE NEED ....IT FINDS FAT CELLS TO STORE ITSELF . THATS RIGHT ...ITS THE SAME PRINCIPLE AS EATING TOO MANY CARBS ! TOO MUCH ...IT TURNS TO FAT. AT THE START OF MY SUPPLEMENTATION REGIMEN , I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT THIS TOO MUCH. THE STUDIES DIDN'T SAY THERE WAS SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT GAIN IN FACT SOME MENTIONED POTENTIAL WEIGH LOSS BUT THIS HASN"T BEEN PROVEN. AFTER A MONTH OF TAKING BIO COMPLETE 3 ( 2 CAPS IN THE AM AND 2 AT BEDTIME), EATING CLEAN, CHIA, GLUTAMINE , I BEGAN TO FEEL BETTER. I WAS ON RX PAIN MEDS , SIGNIFICANT BOWEL FUNCTION PROBLEMS AND DEPRESSION. THSI GUT SURGERY DESTROYED MY LIFE. (ANOTHER STORY FOR ANOTHER TIME) . THE PAIN WAS SLOWLY GETTING BETTER . MY BOWEL FUNCTION BEGAN TO IMPROVE. I WAS EXCITED ! PRIOR TO THIS HORRIBLE SURGERY , I WAS VERY FIT AND A BIG FAN OF P 90 X. I WAS FIT. I HAVE NOT EXERCISED IN 5 YEARS DUE TO THIS HORRIBLE SURGERY. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS ON THIS REGIMEN , I FELT SO GOOD , I STARTED AN EXERCISE REGIMEN. I WAS ABLE TO EXERCISE. ITS BEEN ABOUT 5 WEEKS NOW. IM FEELING BETTER GOOD. NOT QUITE NORMAL BUT GETTING THERE!! WHAT I AM DISAPPOINTED ABOUT IS THE WEIGHT GAIN. I HAVE GAINED 5 POUNDS. I FEEL GOOD BUT IN SPITE OF EXERCISING ( 35 TO 40 MIN SPIN BIKE X5DAYS, WT GAIN WT TRAINING X3 DAY /WK) WT GAIN CONTINUES. SO WHAT DO I THINK? I THINK MY WT GAIN IS A COMBINATION OF THINGS. IM NOT EATING MANY CALORIES SO I FEEL BUTYRATE IS MAKING MY GUT HEALTHIER BUT ALSO MORE EFFICIENT AT MAKING "ATP" OUT OF BUTYRATE. THE GLUCOSE I MAKE IS BEING STORED FOR LATER IN MY FAT CELLS. I ALSO THINK THE CHIA IS CONTRIBUTING BECAUSE IT HAS 20 GM OF FAT IN IT. SO THIS IS WHAT I AM GOING TO DO . I AM GOING TO CHECK THYROID FUNCTION AND HORMONE LEVELS . I HAVE BEEN TAKING ABOUT 4000MG OF BUTYRATE. THERE IS 1000MG IN A CAPSULE OF COMPLETE BIO 3. SO CAPS ( 4 CAPS /DAY AT 1000MG /CAP =4000MG /DAY) . THE STUDIES I READ SUGGESTED 400MG /DAY ID USING AS A SUPPLEMENT ALTHOUGH THERE REALLY ISN'T ENOUGH STUDIES TO SUPPORT ANY DOSING RECOMMENDATIONS. I AM GOING TO CHANGE MY REGIMEN. I AM GOING TO SLOWLY DROP MY BUTYRATE DOSE TO ABOUT 1000MG TO 400 MG /DAY. I FOUND BUTYCAPS BY ELIE HEALTH SOLUTIONS. THESE CAPSULES ONLY HAVE BUTYRATE IN THEM . THE DOSE IS 400MG /DAY . THIS COMPANY RECOMMENDS ONE OR 2 CAPS PER DAY. THIS COMPANY SEEMS TO FOLLOW THE RESEARCH FOR DOSING. I AM SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASING THE CHIA. I AM EATING MORE VEGGIES. I AM DECREASING THE AMOUNT OF BUTTER I USE. BUTYRATE COMES FROM BUTTER. I INCREASED MY BUTTER INTAKE WHEN I LEARNED THAT OUT BODIES DIGEST BUTTER TO MAKE BUTYRATE. OVERALL, I THINK BUTYRATE ,GLUTAMINE , FIBER AND EATING CLEAN HAS SAVED MY QUALITY OF LIFE. FOR THAT I AM SO GLAD I FOUND BUTYRATE EVEN IF IM FAT !:) I'M GOING TO FIND A WAY TO HAVE BOTH .... A HEALTHY GUT AND A HEALTHY WEIGHT . I GAVE THIS PRODUCT A " 4 " BECAUSE IT DID HELP HEAL MY GUT AND THE NERVES THAT WERE CAUSING ME SUCH PAIN. I DON'T THINK IT WAS JUST THE BUTYRATE. THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT GLUTAMINE HAS SHOWN PROMISING RESULTS WITH GUT HEALING IN PEOPLE WITH UC AND CROHNS. A WORD ABOUT DOSING. I COULD NOT FIND ANY DATA REGARDING THE 4000MG/DAY DOSE RECOMMENDATION BY DR GUNDRY. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE !! I HOPE THIS HELPS . IN THIS ENVIRONMENT , WHERE THE TRUTH DOESN'T MATTER ANYMORE , I HOPE YOU FIND THIS HELPFUL!
