A Dietary Supplement For Supporting a Health Digestive System The microflora growth concentrate selected for PB8 is inulin, a natural carbohydrate from chicory root (Cichorium intybus). Inulin is found in a variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains. Inulin promotes the selective growth of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and is considered a "Prebiotic".

"My midwife has 33+ years experience and has a specific vitamin regime for her patients. This is one of the vitamins on the list. Once I started her vitamins, my nausea went away and I feel better and healthier than I have in a long time. I've given these capsules to both my mother and my husband when they were having intestinal discomfort and two of these really helped. I really like this product."

"This was my first time trying a probiotic, other than KEfir or yogurt, and I was a bit skeptical. This is a great product, no side effects, or initial stomach upsets. I started with one capsule for the first 4 days and then took the recommended dose of two capsules a day. I love it and so does my gut."

"I have tried many types of probiotics and this is by far the best. How can I tell? Good question. I have had to get antibiotics several times and many times end up with a yeast infection from it. I could always tell when I took these probiotics because the symptoms would get so much better fast. I could barely tell with other probiotics which makes me wonder if they even have any live bacteria or not. I highly recommend these to anyone. Also, be sure to keep these refrigerated to keep as many of the bacteria alive as possible."

"This was the 1st brand of acidopholus that I found that didn't have to be refrigerated. A few years ago, I went to get some and found that the store had started carrying a different brand, which I tried. I was told it was just as good, it was not even close! This is the BEST!! It starts to work immediately! Taking 2 capsules makes a difference, that says it all!"

"This is a fine product. It helps with digestion and regularity. When your colon is in good shape, you can feel more comfortable. By having the proper intestinal flora, your digestive system works better. It is especially important to take PB8 after a course of antibiotics because these medicines kill of intestinal flora while helping to rid your body of infection. This product comes in two forms, one for omnivores (people who eat most everything) and vegetarians. The vegetarian product is also suitable for people who follow a kosher diet, and costs the same. Vitacost is selling PB8 at a good low price. I'd be hard pressed to find it cheaper, and their delivery is very quick. There is no reason not to try PB8 and see if it is helpful to you, or to use it the next time you complete a course of oral antibiotics."

"I began using PB8 when I was having trouble with recurring intestinal problems due to an immune system disorder. I was very fatigued and weak, and "sick and tired of being sick and tired." Once I was using PB8 consistently, I stopped having the problems; I am now healthier and stronger. PB8 provides a natural solution that strengthens immunity and is very affordable. Many companies have introduced beverages containing active cultures (although not as many as PB8), but they are expensive and require refrigeration. PB8 does not require refrigeration, and the capsules are very easy to swallow. Many of my family and friends now take PB8 daily, and are happy with the benefits of a healthy digestive tract."

"I call PB8 a miracle worker! My daughter suffered for over a year with constipation and after a year of getting no results from doctors, I took her to Colonics. Her colonics technician recommended PB8 and it has worked wonders! She is now on a normal regime and is not suffering with her problem any longer after taking PB8 daily. It has done more in 2 months than doctors have done in a year!"

"After trying 2 other brands that proved ineffective (for me), the PB8 brand worked. My lower digestive system is healthier; I’m more regular, and much less lactose sensitive when I take this brand."

I have had effective results with PB 8 and will continue to use it. I wish there was an option to purchase the product in greater quantitiy. I have found the cost to most affordable with Vitacost."

Very Effective Probiotic,
July 10, 2007
By AllergicGalfrom Vancouver, BC
"The market offers many brands of probiotics. We, as consumers, purchase the brand that better fits our particular health issues. I usually go for the brand that helps a higher number of my several troubles, and that's why I highly recommend PB8. I am lactose intolerant, and whenever I, knowingly or not, consume dairy products, I take care of the highly annoying symptoms by taking 2 capsules of PB8. With other brands, the results are partial, even when I take up to 4 capsules. But the most important aspect of PB8, in my view, is that it doesn't need refrigeration. I can easily carry a supply in my purse or take a bottle along when traveling. Other brands in the market claim their products are fine without refrigeration, but in reality, the supplements’ potency depletes with time. In my experience, PB8 remains strong longer than others."
