I have purchased various probiotics and digestive enzymes products over the last year, trying them out, but nothing has come close to Dr. Matthew’s in regards to quality of ingredients, packaging, company integrity, customer service, and obviously, if you’re reading this because you’re interested in these items – the actual “production results” from using them. I am in my 30’s and I have spent most of my entire life with either diarrhea at extreme times of eating certain foods, or loose stool. I have also had cramps, bloating, stomach pain, the instant urge to use the bathroom after eating, stomach rumblings, and sometimes when I eat things that affect my stomach in a negative way, I actually feel hungry more often and eat more. Well, I am SUPER HAPPY to report that I am producing solid, clean stools! I mean “clean” as they say that you should only have 2-3 wipes with healthy stool, and I am a 3 or 4 on the stool chart of 1-7, so I am right where I am supposed to be at for stool. To note, I take this probiotic 2x a day. The bottle says only 1 a day, but I emailed Dr. Matthew and 2 is fine if I choose to do so. These caplets for the probiotics are why they work so much better than all of the capsules I have tried. You can read about their reasoning from Dr. Matthew’s info, and they are legit! They last 6-8 hours, which is why I take two. I intermittent fast every day, not eating until lunch time, and at lunch I have 1 Dr. Matthew’s probiotics caplet, 1 Dr. Matthew’s Digestive Enzymes capsule, and 2 Dr. Matthew’s Turmeric Curcumin capsules. If the meal is an “iffy” one for my stomach, I’ll take another digestive enzymes in the middle of the meal. I eat as late as about 9 or 10 pm, so the two probiotics cover this entire time range. I feel better, my stomach is flatter, and my stool has NEVER been better! You can see from some other reviewers who did their research, this company is on the up and up when it comes to their production practices. Some companies are a bit sketchy, and this is something you are consuming, daily! Also, their ingredients, yes! They actually list them unlike some competitors, and for someone like me who eats a low FoDMAP diet, this is so important to know what’s in everything I eat, AND, they do not have ANY high FoDMAPs in their product! A lot of other probiotics have high FoDMAP ingredients. What’s also super-awesome to report is that I have been trying out a couple of “trouble” foods, and so far, so good! I had two egg burritos the other day, and I haven’t had flour tortillas in almost a year, and not only did my stomach not hurt, my stool was still good too! What!?! AMAZING! Oh, and how could I forget getting to have chocolate chip cookies for the first time in over a year and a half! They were SO GOOD! And NO stomach pain, no digestive issues, and my stool was perfect! YES! :D I do take a Dr. Matthew’s Digestive Enzymes with each meal, and two if it is a larger, potentially “trouble” meal, such as a second digestive enzymes before my second egg burrito. They have worked GREAT! The Dr. Matthew’s Digestive Enzymes are not only high quality in regards to the ingredients, but they have almost DOUBLE, if not more, of the actual amount you’re getting for each different enzyme! Also, with the probiotics, I have a better, overall “general sense of well-being” as others have posted before regarding taking probiotics, and I have more energy, in a good way, not a caffeine/over-hyped way. Now, I’m posting this same review on all three products because I think they work well together overall as the Dr. Matthew’s Turmeric Curcumin supplements also help with digestive health along with other benefits. And some may think, “Wow, that is expensive buying all of these caplets/capsules!” Yes, it’s not the cheapest, but THIS, IS, YOUR, HEALTH, and you can pay for it right now where it’s not that expensive compared to other stuff in life and I can enjoy food, my life, not be in pain, etc, or I can save some money now, be in pain, not enjoy eating, have bathroom issues, and pay even more money when I’m older because of all of the digestive issues I have had for years. Here’s the thing folks, if my stool is off, some people say, “So what? Stop looking, just flush.” But, your stool is a representation of what occurred inside of you after you ate. If your stool is not in the “healthy” zone, that means your digestive system has an issue of some kind. With loose stool, or seeing a bunch of food chunks in your stool, this means that food items are not getting properly digested, which means certain nutrients are not actually getting to my body that needs them, and THAT is the dangerous endgame of not attending to this problem NOW! Also, for saving money, yes, you could “save and subscribe”, but also, if you swipe to the last picture on Dr. Matthew’s products, you’ll see that if you buy more than one item at a time, you can get a really good discount! These are products that are way better than a lot of the other ones and are very “above board” on their ingredients, and the company’s business practices. You can actually get them CHEAPER than some of the inferior products with sketchy ingredients if you use the multiple-items discount codes. And no, I did not do this for a free bottle, I did not get paid to do this, but when you have digestive issues/”bathroom problems” your whole life, and now you have nice solid stools, you feel great, you’re not as hungry because you’re actually full and can feel satiated instead of that “hollow” feeling from digestive issues, can confidently eat food without worrying about the potential troubles to come, you don’t have to “rush” to the bathroom, no stomach pains/cramps/bloating, you can LIVE LIFE, you too would write a glowing review and want others to know! I’m looking forward to trying out more foods that were previously causing issues for me! THANK YOU DR. MATTHEW!!! :D ^_^

Easy to swallow and no after taste. No stomach upset. Provides the full list of probiotics that I need right now

I really want to get it out there to possible customers of this probiotic, that you have found possibly the best probiotic out there, especially for the price! It is unbelievable what this product does, all in one dose, and that it doesn't cost at least $60. Why does my opinion even count for anything? Well, I have a degree in Dental Hygiene, with a second in Nutrition, have been a Nutritional Counselor, Dental Hygienist, sports trainer (women s bodybuilding and weight lifting) and have been involved in some way with nutrition and health my whole working life, and I am sixty years old now. I know what I want in a probiotic, and Dr. Matthews product lets me check off everything on my list! The really nice thing is that I don't have to pay the normal price of a really good, potent, and stable probiotic. Yes, I am cheap. But hey, I learned never to pay more than you have to from my grandmother and it stuck. This product is scientifically proven to reduce leaky gut syndrome which is almost at pandemic proportions due to the diet of most Americans. It supports your immune system and reduces the normal digestive complaints of gas, bloating, and constipation/diarrhea. It reduces yeast overgrowth in the gut, limits the severity of the more serious digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome and colitis. Tests even proved that it helped with allergies, eczema, weight loss, and even makes you feel good by making your gut bacteria in better balance (your bugs feel better!) The really important characteristics of this probiotic, and what I look for is the fact that the caplets are especially treated to ensure that the live cultures survive your gastric environment of your stomach to be able to reach the portions of your digestive system where they are needed. A feeding system is also included to keep them alive until they reach their destination. Lastly, they only contain human strains of bacteria, instead of the soil based strains that other probiotics use. The potency is guaranteed until expiration! I have never seen that in any other product. Don't think that the ones that need refrigeration are better, they are not! If they can't survive without refrigeration, how are they going to survive stomach acid? Another requirement for me is no GMO, or artificial anything! I have allergies to so many chemicals, I have to be very careful, and again, Dr. Matthews brand delivers what I need and nothing I don't need. You cannot go wrong with this probiotic, and I completely recommend them and they will remain my go to probiotic from here on out. If there were more than five stars, this product would get the extra stars! Angela Schreiber RDH

I've only been taking Dr. Matthew's #1 Probiotics for a week or more. It is unscented and a mild, if any, taste. I'm taking it to help with regularity and also, hopefully, a little weight loss. So far, it does seem to helping with regularity... as far as weight loss goes, we'll see. :) The only "downside" to this product, in my opinion, is that it's a medium-to-large size "caplet" that has no coating, and as I have difficulty taking pills anyway, I have to take this with a thicker drink, smoothie, or soft food in order to get it down. BUT if I end up loving this product it will be worth it! I plan on updating my review at a later date.

I’ve been using this for about a year. They are if very good quality.

I've never experienced a supplement that made such an immediate change in my body. For quite some time I've felt compelled to eat huge amounts, even knowing my stomach was full. The reason I started looking into probiotics was I believed it had to be a problem with my gut flora, because I have good self-discipline in other areas. I researched the strains that have been associated with weight loss and appetite and this product contained all of them, plus manufacturing in the US under FDA oversight is important. Within 24 hours of first taking this, I just lost the compulsion to gorge on junk food. I find I'm thinking about what I would like to eat, and deciding to make something tasty and healthy rather than grab chips or donuts for instant carbs. I now think I was being driven to gorge by gut flora that demanded huge amounts of carbs, and the new guys on the block have successfully overpowered those bad guys with healthier demands. I grossed my sister out talking about my new parasite, as in "Would I like a muffin? Hmmm, no, my new parasite would like an apple." She insisted I give it a name, so now I run each food decision by Pari. Anyway, I've not consciously dieted but my calorie count went down on its own by 800+ calories per day and I've lost several pounds in a week. For the first time in years I feel like it's going to be possible for me to stick to a healthy diet and exercise plan, and be free of the cycle of swearing off junk food, failing within days, feeling ashamed, starting over with less confidence than before. For sure, this supplement isn't going to do the work for me. I still need to not let myself get over hungry or overtired or dehydrated, in order to make good decisions and not fall back on bad habits. Two side effects I love: I used to get terrible acid reflux at night from eating a ton of food before bed. Now I'm able to not do that - last night I had only an apple after 9 pm - and so I'm sleeping all night without having to prop myself up on pillows just to fall asleep. The second side effect is that I'm able to feel the experience of being hungry and not having to do anything about it. It feels good to be a little bit hungry, and thinking about what I'd like to eat. I think it's been years since I had that simple pleasure, because I was always gorging before I had a chance. Note: I've changed my diet to give the new gut flora what they're asking for. I suspect if I eat a bunch of junk food the new guy flora might not take it well. That may explain why some people have complained about bad intestinal reactions

I have tried several brands of probiotics. But this brand, for me, works best for intestinal issues. At 6 years old the doctors removed my appendix. I have had stomach or intestinal problems since that point. I read that they use to think that the appendix was not a necessary part of the body. My understanding is that our scientists now, believe that is is a storehouse for the flora in our gut. if your flora gets wiped out, the necessary stored flora in the appendix replaces it, if you have not had it removed. The gut is called a second brain. Did you know that one of the happy hormones called Serotonin is mostly contained in the gut according to a French scientist who has been studying it for the last 20 years. Only 5% is stored in the brain. The gut, and all its necessary little organisms are important to brain health and absorption of nutrients. As we age or are put under environmental or emotional stress this destroys these necessary organisms. Then you begin to have intestinal issues of all kinds. It can be very uncomfortable, painful and even life threatening if the gut organisms are not replaced. Antibiotics are the worst form of destruction to these organisms and must be replaced if you do not want to suffer. For me personally, who does not have an appendix, this has worked the best at calming my gut and reducing bloating and pain. God created us with an appendix for a reason and it was not just to sit there and look ugly, lol. Why in this century have we not found a better way of healing organs than just cutting them out? For good health and because life is stressful, add probiotics to a plant healthy diet at least when your gut starts grumbling at you. It's talking. You should listen and give it what it is asking for, probiotics! Enjoy!

I’m just taking them for 2, no change in my system. I will for sure make an update. Too soon to review
