Vital Nutrient Prebiotic Powder, 13.23 oz, 54 Servings

Have had gut issues for years and tried this stuff off and on and wasn’t sure at first, good or bad. Start slow as it can cause gas and loose stool. I gradually worked up to full dose and bloating and gas are MUCH improved. I mix in my morning collagen, green powder drink with a small fork in a mug. I will also just mix with water and drink as I stay away from juice and excess sugars. It mixes fairly well and will gel up a bit and clump if left too long. I cannot imagine taking off a star because it doesn’t mix well and don’t understand those reviews. This is good for you stuff, not a flavored drink. This doesn’t taste bad by any stretch and is almost flavorless. I don’t understand the need for all drinks to taste like a treat. All those additives used in other formulas (to make them taste like yummy milkshakes) and protein drinks are causing so many issues. I highly recommend giving up the junk and your tastebuds will adjust to real food without all the sugary crap. Drink filtered water and lose all those light diet drinks that contribute to ruining your gut, among other things. I still have some gut flare-ups when I give in to cravings and eat or drink things I know are bad for my gut—but that’s my bad. We can’t keep eating poison and expect to be cured—even with a great product such as this. Once I reached full dose of this on a daily basic, it made a huge difference over time—give it a few weeks. As an aside, I also take the Pro-Women Probiotics for urinary tract health and it is also great stuff! Have been taking both for well over a year and they are daily staples for me.

Okay... I've read the reviews, and I've got to say... For those of you who complain about gas, well... welcome to taking fiber for the first time. ALL fiber does this. I don't think this particular supplement is more than other fiber in that regard. It *will* subside if you've been taking it a while. Fiber is a bit tricky to supplement. Too little, and you don't see any improvement. Too much, and you end up a bloated mess running to the bathroom every 5 minutes. I recommend starting small (1/2 dose), and building up gradually (maybe 1/2 dose per day increase once weekly), but no more than 1 dose with a meal each day. It works best mixed with protein shakes in the morning. If you add to water only, expect an unpleasant experience. Also, don't take fiber on an empty stomach. It always works best when taken with food. Honestly, this is the best fiber I've come across. Soluble fiber is the preferred type of fiber to use, as it is gentle on the gut and helps lower cholesterol, etc. Insoluable fiber is good for pushing things through, but if you're an IBS or IBD patient, it should be strongly avoided. I will say this tends to be a bit more clumpy than some other soluable fiber supplements I've tried, but it comes from 3 different plants, versus Hydrolyzed Guar Gum (something like NutriSource Fiber Supplement Powder), which won't help your gut flora at all. Having a rich variety of fiber is important to gut health, as each of the flora want something a little different, so I'm willing to pay more to get a variety in one jar as opposed to going out and finding a lot of different fiber source supplements. There isn't a strong flavor here, but it does have a slight flavor of banana, which I really only noticed when I tried seeing what the raw taste of the fiber was. I found it pleasant, but not strong enough to notice once mixed. My suggestion for mixing this is to add your water to a blender FIRST, turn the blender on the lowest setting with lid on, then take the lid off with it running as long as you're reasonably confident the water isn't going to escape the blender... then add your fiber, then protein. Once mixed, you can turn off the blender, add any ice or fruit or anything else you want, then put the lid back on and turn the machine back on. Adding the powder at the bottom before the water just leads to a clumpy mess at the bottom of your containers that's difficult to clean. I use this supplement with protein shakes and soups in my vitamix daily, and I've noticed my gut seems a bit happier than with the other fiber supplements I've tried. Don't expect miracles from any fiber, but if you're going to take a fiber supplement, I strongly suggest this one be your go-to.

I believe that this product works. I like it much. However, it constipates me if I take it as described. So I may not purchase more - following my 2 bottles. I took it for 2 weeks, each morning. I drink a lot of water with and through the day. And I do not eat other things that may stop me up in excess. I eat plenty of veggies and fruits. My fiber is more limited. Thus the reason I liked this product over traditional fiber powders. Again though, it caused me to stop up. I had to take a laxative to clear it. Thus, I'm not liking having to put a chemical in to supplant a natural product. I decided to pull off a bit. I did and ate a small bowl of bran flakes and added raisins in the evening and have had no issues. Now, I am going to try the powder again and still continue the cereal/raisins in the evening and see what happens. If it works great. If not, I will not take the prebiotic any further.

Ok, so I really feel the need to write a review unless it's something that is life changing. I will tell you that this Pre-Biotic formula was absolutely life changing. I'm going to go into detail because I figure that there are other people out there like myself. I've had trouble going to the bathroom and with stomach upset and bloating; I was also very lethargic and found it hard to get out of bed unless I've had three cups of coffee. I was eating with an "ok" diet and I started to read reviews on this product to help my situation. I got it three days ago. I started that night and started again every morning. I have been mixing it with my morning yogurt and having it with blueberries and I've been supplementing with Pro-15 Probiotics. On the second day, I felt really sick, I was bloated and had a massive headache and nothing much happened, other than going to the bathroom. I figured it was introducing something to help with my gut because this happens any time I go through a period where I don't do anything healthy and then cleanse. Just a war inside me, basically. Today, I woke up, for the first time in many months, not feeling lethargic. I had my morning yogurt with this added and the probiotic. Had coffee, like normal. I honestly feel amazing! It has been only three days and I can tell you with certainty that I went to the bathroom and it wasn't messy or super smelly. I feel absolutely energized and it is like a veil has been pulled from my brain, I just feel clean inside. I don't know if anyone will feel these results like I do but I know I will be using this every day along with their probiotics. It is cheaper than most and it actually does work. I'm now a believer. Also, I was not approached by the manufacturer or offered free product for this review. Just a happy middle class man wanting to tell you that this is money well spent.

"Pre-Biotics" and "Pro-Biotics" are the types of health supplements that draw a lot of attention as well as skepticism. Attention because they hold out the promise of relief from poor digestion. Skepticism because although based on scientific facts and theory they are not "proven" by "medical science" to be universally effective. But these products have great appeal because they "should work" because we are all human, while of course everyone has their own reactions to and uptake of dietary inputs. In my case I tried both Hyperbiotics Organic Prebiotic Powder and Hyperbiotics PRO-15 Probiotics "pearls" (pills) together, once a day. I am not a scientific experiment. I have no data. But after an adjustment period of about a week, much like the digestive effect you might experience eating food in a new country with a few things your system might not be used to, I feel that the results have been genuine, effective and a change for the better. Like a lot of people I tended to over do on anti-acids like Prilosec (Omeprazole) and Pepcid (Famotidine) to control bad reactions to too much acid, rich food, spices and so forth. These types of over the counter anti acids can over time have a very bad effect on your digestion. They not only change the PH of your system, both allowing "bad" bacteria to thrive and discouraging "good" bacteria from persisting, the results can be almost toxic if it gets too far out of balance. Omeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor, only stops the development of excess acid, and so is the less dangerous of the two. But Famotidine (Pepcid) is a histamine type acid suppressor, and can if used to excess really mess up the bacterial balance of your digestion. In any case, that's why both products strongly advise against their use for more than two weeks at a time. But of course many people use them all the time. After a month of using the Hyperbiotics Organic Prebiotic Powder and Hyperbiotics PRO-15 Probiotics "pearls" I just haven't had the sorts of problems that existed in the past, have rarely felt the need for anti acids, and everything related to food and digestive health seems to have become a much better balanced norm. I have had a positive experience with Hyperbiotics Organic Prebiotic Powder and Hyperbiotics PRO-15 Probiotics "pearls". RECOMMENDED.

I’m almost done with the first container and I have another one waiting. While it works for my digestion issues, I don’t like the taste of it in my coffee, and I don’t drink smoothies so I won’t be getting it again; I found another one that works, plus is tasteless in my coffee.

After years of antibiotic use, my gut issues had escalated and cause too many issues. Started using many supplements including probiotics and enzymes, but only after I incorporated prebiotics was when things really improved. After many years, don't use probiotic or enzyme supplements regularly, but continue to use this product. It gives the gut fuel for the good bacteria to thrive and increase mineral absorption. Promotes a healthy gut microbiome and a stronger immune system. As many have stated, all the way back to Hippocrates, all disease starts in the gut. Not 100% true, but when your gut is healthy, your health is greatly improved. The consistency of this product has been excellent and high quality. It does not have much taste which makes it easy to mix into a protein shake or smoothy, which is how I take it. Never tried mixing it into food. 1 scoop is around $0.50/serving which makes it a great value. Initially chose this one because it has 3 different ingredients. Others have 1 or 2 and they did not work as well. This product has made a difference in my life and my gut was finally healed and I now very rarely have any gut issues. I attribute much of it to incorporating this product. Highly recommended.

In late December 2017, I ended up getting food poising. Not sure exactly from what, because my roommate ate the same thing I did and had no issues. It effected me so severely I passed out and ended up in the ER, throwing up several times that evening. One of the worst nights of my life. The next 2 weeks I had AWEFUL stomach pains, cramps, gurgling that would wake a child the next room, and just felt awful. My entire digestive system was in terrible shape, and my whole body felt super duper out of balance. No probiotics, or stomach settling things helped. In an attempt to find something that would help me feel better, I went to the google to find help. I fell down the rabbit hole of an online ad for Dr. Gundry's formula about Prebiotics. A lot of his research made a lot of sense, and seemed worth trying. I absolutely did not want to pay the absurd price that he wanted for his "magical formula" he displayed as this cult like savior for all. So I turn to Amazon to see what is similar and cheaper. I came across this, and based on the reviews I decided to try it. So here are the changes I have made to my diet, part of which were take aways from Dr. Gundry's research blah blah blah video/commercial/propaganda. 1. STOP DRINKING ALL DIET DRINKS. It murders all good things in your digestive system. 2. Stay way from beans and tomatoes and nuts. Basically foods high in lectin. Look it up. 3. Take a prebiotic with a probiotic. So I've been adding 1 scoop of this to my morning coffee or yogurt. I like it better in my coffee because if you drink a dark roast you won't notice this at all. You are putting it in a hot water environment, so maybe I'm making it slightly less effective. Adding it to some greek yogurt works too, but the color isn't too attractive once you've mixed it all up. But you won't taste it either. So far I've done this for 1 year, and I feel so much better. No more stomach problems. I've lost around 20 lbs with the slight diet changes. Vegetables are your friends everyone. I feel way way better. I don't know if I can attribute my recovery to this powered stuff, but it certainly has played a part.

Great dietary supplement for doga

Since I started to use it, I have very regular bowel movement. I really like it. The taste is light and easy, so I will keep using it. My boyfriend had some infection issues and the doctor in the hospital encouraged him to use prebiotics and probiotics to help him fight with it.

Used on cold or hot cereal works great , takes quite a bit of stirring in liquid but it does as advertised for me , great stuff

J'attends pour donner une réponse définitive sur l'effet bénéfique du produit sur ma santé éventuelle. Cette réponse positive ou stationnaire sur ma santé ne pourra être évaluée seulement après la prise à long terme de ce produit . C'est pour cette raison que j'aimerais renouveler ce produit pour une période d'au moins un an avant de vous donner une opinion finale sur le bienfait que pourrait m'apporter ce prébiotique. Pourriez vous me dire si je pourrais bénéficier d'un rabais du coût de ce prébiotique si j'en achetais 3 contenants d'un seul coup commme on l'avait suggéré dans la conférence du Dr Steven Grundy . C'est cette conférence qui m'a incité à acheté ce produit parce qu'il m'a convaincu que ce produit pouvait améliorer notre microbiote intestinal en nourissant les bonnes bactéries dans notre intestin. Merci . Alain Farley M.D.

Didn't see any change in my body (gut) but what harm can some prebiotic do
