Amazon Basics - Probiotic, 5 Billion CFU, 8 Probiotic strains with 60 mg Prebiotic Blend, 60 Count Vegetarian Capsules, 2 Month Supply, Supports Healthy Digestion (Previously Solimo)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great value compared to many alternatives we have bought. This is for my dad who has trouble swallowing. The gelcap is a smaller size than some we have tried.

Been using for a couple years lasts the whole month and the price is great.

Seems to work.

Most articles about choosing whether or not to start taking a probiotic and selecting a particular product make it clear that each individual's results may vary. I chose the Amazon Basics Probiotic 5 Billion CFU, 8 Probiotic strains with 60 mg Prebiotic Blend because the reviews were good, the product description aligned with my reason for trying a probiotic, and the pricing seemed reasonable.To begin, my doctor prescribed a new medication for me that has a known side-effect of slowing down the digestive tract a little bit. Although there are other medications that I could use to try to speed it back up a little, I realized that another approach would be to keep the biome active and healthy so that it might be easier break everything down and move it along.Pros: This seems to meet my needs. I've noticed a reduction in the sluggish bloated feeling that I had been experiencing, and that's what I was really looking forward to.Cons: This is always mentioned as a consideration, but much of the bloat reduction seems to be expelled as flatulence.Being more than just a little bit, it's enough to be a bit embarrassing and unpleasant. I'm no prude when it comes to gas, but I can barely sit or stand without squeaking one out lately. Similarly, whatever these new strains of bacteria are, they generate a putrid odor that has my family trying to banish me from my own home. I was hoping that this would go away after a week or two. After a month or so, I think the flatulence is getting worse, not better.I would still recommend this product, as the reduced bloat and regularity are worth the side effects.

Good but was not enough for what I needed.

And using this for a few months now with my husband and we are not noticing much of the difference.

Great product and service. Highly recommended!

These were a great help to me obviously, but my dog is the more important part of this review.Poor boi was having ISSUES for months. Like nothing was a normal pass for the guy. I ordered these for myself and did a double take/ thought. Took the caps apart and put the powder in his food for a week. He has been fixed ever since, and that was 3 months ago.Poor guy just didnt have any gut gremlins to help out!
