I woke up today with severe diarrhea. You know what I mean, all liquid. I know that if it’s caused by a bacterial infection taking an anti diarrheal is the worst thing you can do. I looked through my meds and supplements, and there was my Dr. Tobias Deep Immune Probiotics and Prebiotics. Somehow I had gotten away from taking it (along with my vitamin D). I read the dosage: take two vegetable capsules. I took two at one time.Now, I am not given to exaggerating things.Believe me when I say that after multiple visits to the restroom, I took 2 Dr. Tobias Deep Immune Probiotics and Prebiotics and haven’t gone since!It has been thirteen hours. Yes, they are easy to swallow, no after taste, and value for money?!!!The value for money is a no brainer given my situation!!! I am putting them back on my subscribe and save as soon as I post this. I don’t think I will ever forget to take them again! I will say that I was taking one daily, not two. That was working for me, you might need two daily. Try it and see what works best.I did figure out what caused my diarrhea. I was put on an injection to prevent migraines. Diarrhea is not listed as a side effect. But reading further I found that in the trials two percent of people had diarrhea. I guess that’s not enough people to list it as a side effect - unless it’s you that gets it and are told it’s not the injection - whole new topic for ranting about.Get this and put diarrhea behind you :)  Read Less

This product claims to be a prebiotic and probiotic. Where's the prebiotic? Prebiotics are defined as molecules which beneficial bacteria use to maintain a helathy population and produce other beneficial molecules such as short chain fatty acids. These are usually soluble fibers and oligosaccharides. As far as I can tell this contains none of those. What it does contain is a proprietary product which contains bacteriophages - bacteria-infecting viruses. This is certainly NOT a prebiotic. It seems that there are studies underway to evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy at improving the microbiome but, other than some preliminary safety data, no efficacy data yet exists. The prebiotics included are fine, although I do like L. rhamonsus in my prebiotics, but no one really knows at this point if supplementing with a prebiotic really does anything anyway outside of the context of preventing C. diff following antibiotic usage. A very good recent study showed that the best thing you can do to encourage a diverse and healthy microbiome is to just eat some fermented foods every day (study just published in Cell). For the reasons outlined above, this may be fine, but the labeling is misleading, cost is high, and I would probably not be taking this unless the evidence from the PHAGE trial actually shows a benefit.  Read Less
