This is our review for a product called Culturelle Digestive Health Probiotics. Culturelle Digestive Health Probiotics is a daily supplement that aims to provide support to your digestive health. The manufacturer claims that this supplement helps reduce irregular diarrhea and stomach bloating caused by Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It also helps promote nutrient absorption and healthy digestive function. There are about 10 billion live cultures contained in this product that work to help your digestive system work better and stay in balance.

Ingredients

  • Lactobacillus GG
  • Inulin (Chicory Root Extract)

Lactobacillus GG (a type of bacteria) helps the digestive system by sticking to the mucous tissue of your intestine wall to promote balance of microflora. It is also able to inhibit harmful bacteria from generating poisonous compounds and it strengthens your immune system. Once your immune system is strong, it is able to adjust and combat off invading pathogens when infection develops. Inulin on the other hand acts as an insoluble fiber. It reduces constipation and improves bowel function.

Other ingredients: Maltodextrin,  vegetable magnesium stearate, sodium ascorbate , silicon dioxide, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and titanium dioxide (color).

Dosage

The recommended dose is one capsule per day, taken daily. You may also take two capsules per day, one in the morning and one in the evening if you  experience an upset stomach often. You can follow this routine until the discomfort subsides.

If you plan to travel, you may take one capsule in the morning and one capsule in the evening starting three days before your trip, to achieve best results.

There is no clarity as to how long the travel should be for you to increase the consumption of the supplements. Most people travel to work everyday or school everyday, some between regions and some between countries. It might be difficult for an individual to decide.

Possible Side Effects

You may experience increase in stomach gas, excessive fever, insistent cough, rash, itching, trouble in breathing, and swelling of tongue due to allergy reaction. These cases are rare, however you need to consult with your doctor immediately if you experience any of them. This is not the complete list of possible side effects.

Some of these retailers offer discounts when buying more than one box, and free shipping when buying  more than a certain amount, which also varies per retailer. Since there is a huge difference in prices, you would need to shop around to find the cheapest deal.

Guarantee

The manufacturer does not offer any kind of guarantee on Digestive Health Probiotics. However, some retailers have return policies, which you can find on their websites. The lack of guarantee from the manufacturer raises doubts on the effectiveness of this supplement.

Our Culturelle Digestive Health Probiotics Review – Conclusion

Culturelle Probiotics contain the right ingredients for IBS. Lactobacillus GG and Inulin are known to be effective in preventing digestive issues and maintaining good digestive health. We read a number of customer reviews and found that many customers were not happy with the results after using Digestive Health Probiotics . They indicated that it did not help them at all. This is not a surprise when the dosage is not very clear and when the manufacturer does not back their product with a money-back or satisfaction guarantee. Considering these and the side effects that you might experience when using this product, we are not confident about its effectiveness. Therefore, we recommend that you rather look for a product that is backed by the manufacturer’s guarantee and good consumer reviews for your protection.
