Garden of Life - RAW Probiotics Ultimate Care - 30 Vegetarian Capsules

I've been buying Garden of Life Ultimate Care at our local nutrition store. This is a 34 strain probiotic, the MOST strains I've been able to find anywhere. Not only are they important for every day gut health, the probiotics are PROVEN effective for dealing with irritated bowels. We also use Quercetin which is the calming agent commonly found in organic apples as a natural anti-histamine to further calm the intestines. The winning combination also uses Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS. If you are looking at Ultimate care then you are already familiar with the concept of beneficial bacteria. The SB + MOS from Jarrow Formulas is basically a probiotic FUNGUS which also helps to repair the intestinal colony of microorganisms. MOS is comparable to d-mannose for UTIs in which the bad bacteria tends to cling to MOS or mannose and is flushed out naturally during elimination. This is important because KILLING the bacteria inside the intestines releases additional TOXINS which can quickly become fatal especially in severe cases of C. Diff. Instead, the MOS helps to FLUSH the living bacteria out without further overburdening the body with yet more toxins unnecessarily.Other beneficial ways to help the intestines includes eating organic apples, turmeric, ginger, onions, bananas, etc. We found a great calming food is to mash 1 banana with 2 eggs, scramble with a bit of turmeric and paprika, then serve with some coconut oil instead of butter or margarine, warmed apples slices and cinnamon on top along with a bit of Now Brewer's Yeast sprinkled on top like Parmesan cheese. A light dash of real maple syrup can be added for flavor, if needed. This is a GREAT breakfast meal for when taking Ultimate Care Probiotics !For best results ALWAYS STORE PROBIOTICS IN THE FRIDGE or at least under 71F ! The label states no binders, fillers, carriers, artificial colors nor preservatives.

The product arrived with a cold pack and was cold, but the boxes had evidently become saturated with moisture during transit. I was quite dismayed. I contacted the Seller and was surprised by their quick response. I sent them photos and they immediately rectified the situation. This is what customer service is all about! As far as Garden of Life products, I’ve used them for years and they have always been a quality product.

I have been taking Primal Defense Ultra for quite a while and used GOL products for at least 10. Their probiotic line is the best on planet earth, bar none. I had a friend who raved about the RAW line and was curious, so I tried them. However, we all know they are pricey to say the least. I purchased one bottle of the RAW probiotics (colon care) at the store but of course checked Amazon and decided to give them a shot. Because we have had cold weather where I live, I was not all that bothered by the shipping process, but emailed the shipper about their location to see what their local temps would be. I promptly received a reply and they said that they are located in Georgia and that their local temps would not leave the 50s. They also said that the probiotics are actually manufactured at a dose higher than what is said on the bottle, to accomodate shipping processes. That said, I think I will stock up to carry me through the summer and save $$$. These work great! I have noticed more regular bowel movement in just a few days. I feel more energetic as well. Being on antibiotics twice in a year due to an infected root canal really wreaked havoc on my digestion and regularity to say the least. So glad I gave these a try and would definitely recommend them.

Garden of Life Raw Probiotics Ultimate Care, 30 CountYou can't meet all your health needs through nutrition & diet alone. While I recommend foods containing probiotics such as yogurt, sauerkraut and kombucha, supplements provide greater diversity and do far more to restore gut health. Our digestive system hosts literally thousands of different species of live beneficial bacteria. Most products fall far short of replicating natural conditions in the gut.Antibiotics destroy all bacteria, including the beneficial bacteria we need for immunity. If you have recently finished taking antibiotics I highly recommend supplementation with probiotics to restore healthy bacteria.What I like about this particular product is the increased variety of species compared to cheaper probiotics supplements that include insufficient diversity. The diversity is what helps create a healthier gut and enhances our immune systems so it is worth the extra money. It goes without saying that this is a non-GMO product. I only recommend brands that are pushing non-GMO product lines.- Bret Moura, Registered Dietitian (RD)Disclosure: I am not employed by this company nor do I have any endorsement deals with supplement makers.Disclaimer: My review is not medical advice.
