My new gastro doctor wanted me to take a probiotic with at least 4 different strains and 2tbs of freshly ground (dark) flax seed per day. After careful consideration, I chose Mt. Capra Advanced for the probiotic. I have been on it since October of '08 and have noticed something which will keep me on it for a while longer... First, it certainly is not hurting my chronic IBS and maybe helping. Second, while I have had a cold and the flu this season, they were both (with regard to the worst of the symptoms & the recovery stage) "significantly shorter" in duration than I can ever remember. This has got my attention. FYI IBS suffers: The medical community published (Jan '09) new protocol and now includes probiotics as part of its recommended practices. For now, I am giving this product 4 stars...at the end of the flu/cold season, I will update. Update (Jan/10) - still using this probiotic as part of IBS management - very happy with it. New Observation: My teenager complains about acne, I suggest the probiotics. About a week later, we both see a significant improvement...which of course, means to a teenager, "Good, I don't need this anymore"... and we start over a few weeks later. I keep trying...explaining the effects of the immune system (based in your gut) on acne, etc... I'd give this five stars, if it was possible to take less capsules (I need a minimum of 4 daily, with 6 during IBS flair ups)...but, I'm happy as it is, I'd rather not further manipulate nature into convenience for me. Last note: I have tried other probiotics...vegetarian based, single capsules, yogurt based, etc... I still prefer this one. It works.
