Probiotics - Mood Super Strains Probiotic - Naturally Supports Digestion & Mood - Histamine-Free Probiotics w/ L Rhamnosus GG, Shelf Stable Probiotic Supplement, 60 Day Supply, Non-GMO, VEGAN

Normally probiotics do not agree with me but I read that some strains can help with anxiety, depression and insomnia so when I found the description of this one it was a definite try. Having gone through a very stressful period I developed horrible insomnia, sleeping only 2-3 hours a night sometimes and was going crazy - must have bought 6 or 7 different "herbs" that were supposed to help but nada. After only about 3 days I found myself sleeping at least 7 and 8 hours. It was amazing. Started taking 2 per day one in am and one in pm but then was having to take a nap at 10 am so stopped the am pill and only took one at night before bed with a few bites of food. I did contact the company however to ask about some startup issues - I was feeling a bit irritable but did not want to stop the supplement. They have amazing customer service and Sylvia is sending me another of their formula (the Bifidus with GOS) to see if I can fine tune the mix. In any case I'll see which works better but there is no way I'm not going to take one or the other. I am certainly calmer and also happy to find a probiotic I can take given the past stress and some antibiotic courses over the last few years. As I said it's only been 3 weeks and I believe it takes longer than that for the body to totally adjust to the new bacteria so I am looking forward to the healthy benefits.

This is the ONLY histamine-free probiotic that works for me (only 1 other I found had 2 xtra ingred. that gave me issues). Nice that it is taken with/wo food! Very surprised at how effective it is without the typical intestinal die-off when killing bad bacteria. Realized my candida was out of control and causing me to binge eat carbs late at night-- within 3-4 days of taking this, ZERO carb cravings! However, don't make the mistake of only taking 1 or 2/day, as it requires 3-4/2x day! ALL probiotics need to be taken enough to reestablish good gut health (told to me by a reputable nutritionist). Once I started taking enough, my gut really changed! I do 1-2 caps 2x/day with food on a maintenance schedule. Or, if I'm having a gut issue, I take 1-2 between food for extra impact. At this point, there might be some die off. Pleasantly surprised at the decrease in head chatter and reduced anxiety. BONUS that It's histamine free, which is why I really bought it! All in all a quality product at a decent price. THIS histamine-free probiotic has worked wonders with helping to KEEP ME SANE DURING THE PANDEMIC!!! Seriously! I have maintained a pretty even keel in mood and anxiety levels living alone w/limited outside contact. THIS MOOD PROBIOTIC IS THAT GOOD! I cannot stress enough how important it is to keep histamines out of your probiotic if trying to heal your gut! It's an oxymoron trying to heal the gut with histamines in gut products.

I have been taking one capsule daily and haven’t noticed any change in bathroom habits or my mood, but this stuff cleans out my kids (6&11). The eleven year old takes one capsule daily and says she’s going very easily now, almost too easily. I asked if she had any cramps and she said no. The six year old was a little backed up, so I sprinkled 1/3 capsule in his cereal and later that day, he urgently had to go and unloaded. He also said no pain. I wish it did the same for me, maybe I need more, but I can definitely tell it’s got some viable bacteria in there.

Updated review: In 2020, after a medical diet, I found out I had “histamine intolerance”. The doctor recommended a probiotic, and after a careful search, this looked like my best choice. This probiotic has worked really well for me, and I’m doing much better; I’m on my 5th bottle. I was advised to at first take small partial doses of my chosen probiotic, and gradually work up to the full dose; I did that, and I had no problems. Also, after just the first partial dose, I got the best sleep I’d had in months, and that benefit continued with each dose. As an added bonus, I felt a more positive mood; I assumed it was because I was getting better sleep, and was feeling better physically. The features that made this probiotic most useful to me were that it contains histamine lowering strains only, and nothing added that could aggravate SIBO, which I may have had. Since it doesn’t have to be refrigerated, I also felt confident of the potency. The price was very reasonable compared to others I researched, and for what it does, it’s worth every penny. I can easily recommend this product; it has helped a lot with my histamine intolerance.

This stuff is really powerful. I usually have no reaction to a probiotic, or sometimes a negative reaction, which is not always gastro! Highly recommended to experiment with these products by very gradually taking them and building up a full dose, noting symptoms, and comparing. This one helps my mood, lowers my reactivity to foods. I have constipation now and a bit more joint pain, but I was able to decrease an antidepressant dose by 75% over a couple of weeks! No rebound anxiety, no depression. I tried switching to the bifido blend and felt very different: worse mood, better energy, poor sleep, elevated heart rate.I have tried a lot of probiotics over the years and these are the first to have such strong effects on me. I really wish there were more of these blends because so far, each has a trade off between benefits and side effects. I still have the sbo one to try though! These are so powerful, and a good price for how much you get--I've paid far more for many probiotics that did nothing at all. Your reaction is going to be individual; it might take some patience and experimentation. I initially started with a half pill and that was too much! When I took a tiny bit and built up I was fine. The company is excellent and responsive with communication--Sylvia sent me a different bottle to try when I was first having issues.

I’ve been taking these for over a month now, I wanted to wait till I had been taking them for awhile before writing a review... but I noticed a difference in my energy, sleep, and anxiety level almost immediately. I am someone who deals with extreme anxiety and not someone who likes taking pills for fear the side effects will be worse then the problem.. there would be Days were I could barely function due to my anxiety and these pills have made a huge difference... I had a little bloating the 1st day I took them but no other side effects besides finally being able to sleep, relax and function.

Dead on arrival. I've made my own yogurt for decades and have used probiotic pills before to do so. Even with two capsules my quart of milk didn't ferment. The powder is inert and useless as a probiotic. Highly disappointed as these were more affordable and had a strain I'd been missing feom other ferments.

I put 3 stars because they do not make me sick or my HIT worse, but they have not improved it either. I am not sure how people can say that they "feel" something just after a couple of days (good or bad). After getting sick with the big "C" my body started making histamine like crazy. I have to be on a low hist diet and take a truckload of meds and supplements to keep my bucket under control. These seemed like a good option to try and help my dysbiosis. I am on my second bottle and have tried taking it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Tried taking it with food. I am going to finish the bottle, but I am not sure if I will buy more after this. Read some studies that found that when people quit taking probiotics they suffer dysbiosis all over again...up to 5 months. So I may start taking these every other day to wing myself off. From my readings...the best thing you can do is to eat healthily, trash junk food and processed refined carbs, and up your fiber. The science is still out on probiotics so I will wait and see if progress has been made in this area of gut health.
