I have been taking these probiotics for a few months now. I have them in a smoothie every morning and sometimes on occasion give them a miss. They just became a part of my daily routine. I recently ran out of my supply so whilst I waited for them to be delivered I noticed a huge difference in frequency, digestion and other symptoms. I honestly never realised how much these probiotics help ease my symptoms and I would now be absolutely lost without them. They may not work for everyone but they are definitely worth a try if you’re all out of options. They were something I stumbled across when I was looking for my solution so definitely worth a try!

Oh my goodness these are amazing!! Have tried them before but only for a couple of days and stopped as they didn't work. But kept persevering and after about 6/7 days I went but just thought that would be it but I am still taking them and am going every single day now sometimes twice which is amazing considering that I only used to go once a week at the most. I have stopped taking laxatives now . If you keep on taking it you will definitely see results but I know for some people the time scale will be different.

This product is amazing. The cotton-candy taste of the powder reminds me of childhood :) The effect is even better!! My occasional bloating normalized just after one week and since then, I have not experienced such discomfort anymore! THANK YOU OptiBac!!!!
