Customer Reviews of Align Digestive Care Probiotic Supplement, 28-Count
Customer Review: This little product surprised me
Summary: 5 Stars
I never expected I would be writing a review for a product like this, especially one that's so personal. But I feel like I need to share my story in hopes that it will help someone else.
Over the last year, I have been trying to lose weight (halfway to my goal!). As some weight losers know, there sometimes comes a point during dieting where you can become constipated. About four months ago, I hit that point, which can be very disconcerting for anyone, let alone people trying to lose weight. I also suffer from occasional upsets(stomach pain from gas, potentially IBS, diarrhea, etc.). At my wits end, I decided on a lark to try Align based on the commercials, web searches and reviews here at Amazon.
When you first start taking Align, it's recommended that you start tracking how you feel, stomach-wise. It comes with a four week chart, with helpful hints as to what you should expect, especially as you first start trying it. I was a bit concerned that the first week mentions constipation (when you're already suffering from it, the last thing you want to do is make it worse...), but I decided to just give it a try. The first few days, I didn't really notice much of a change. I still had occasional gas pain and the constipation. But as the week went along, I noticed some changes.
I stopped following the chart because I'm forgetful and didn't really think about it until I started running out of pills. At that moment, I realized...hey, it'd been a few weeks since I was constipated, my stomach didn't feel upset with me and things were running as they should. But still, I was skeptical and I stopped taking the pills when my four week supply ran out. Within a couple weeks, I started noticing problems starting up again. A week and a half ago or so, I ordered a subscription to Align from Amazon (to get the discount) and within a week, I'm feeling a million times better. I'm more regular than I have been in quite some time, I have absolutely no pain and I'm losing weight again.
I went into Align, thinking it was a load of you know what. I figured that I'd give it a chance but I was honestly expecting nothing out of it, except being $25 poorer. Two and a half months later and I'm pretty much a believer. I don't think Align will help everyone; it's obvious here on Amazon that you have a load of people who it's worked for and some it doesn't. But I would recommend that, if you're on the fence like I was, you order a box and give it a try. You've really got nothing to lose and it might just work for you like it has worked for me. It's expensive, but, hey, if it helps me with my weight loss goals and making me feel as great as I do right now, it's worth it.

By delivering healthy bacteria, Align helps restore the balance of good bacteria to build and maintain a strong, healthy digestive system.*
Why do I need Align?
Your body needs good bacteria (?probiotics?) for a number of things, including healthy digestion. But these bacteria are fragile. When you were very young, most of the bacteria in your digestive system were good Bifidobacteria. The percentage of these good bacteria naturally decreases as we age. Align® delivers Bifantis®, a unique good Bifidobacteria that helps restore your digestive balance. Common issues such as changes in diet and schedule, stress, and travel can disrupt your natural balance of good bacteria, which can lead to occasional digestive upsets. Bifantis, the probiotic ingredient in Align, replenishes your system with natural good bacteria.* When taken daily, Align promotes a healthy digestive system, helping to restore your natural balance, and gives you an ongoing natural defense against occasional digestive upsets that can interrupt your life.*

What is a probiotic?
The word ?probiotic? means ?for life.? Probiotics are good bacteria that provide a health benefit and are essential for many vital body functions, including healthy digestion. Probiotics are increasingly being used and evaluated in the management of digestive health. When you were very young, most of the bacteria in your digestive system were good Bifidobacteria. The percentage of these good bacteria naturally decreases as we age. Align® delivers Bifantis®, a unique good Bifidobacteria that helps restore your digestive balance.* Your body needs beneficial bacteria for a number of things, including healthy digestion. But they?re fragile. Common issues such as diet, illness, and stress can disrupt your natural balance of good bacteria.
Are all probiotics created equal?
Not all probiotics are alike. Different strains of the same species may differ in a number of ways, but what matters most to you is how well the bacteria strain works for you.
What should I look for in a probiotic?
According to a new set of guidelines called The P's and Q's of Probiotics, unveiled by The International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP), there are five criteria that consumers should consider when selecting a probiotic: probiotic strain, clinical proof, packaging, quality, and quantity.
See how Align® meets these criteria and is a good option for people wanting to build and maintain a natural defense against occasional digestive upsets.*

Is Align like yogurt? How is it different from probiotic yogurts?
While some yogurts contain bacteria to confer benefits consistent with those of a probiotic supplement, yogurt in the United States is not required to contain any live cultures, and results from tests of yogurt products show a wide range in the levels of live bacteria. The delivery of probiotics in either yogurt or fermented milk is limited by the need for cold storage and an associated shorter shelf life. Additionally, many people with occasional digestive upsets may have trouble consuming sufficiently large quantities of these products. Align® is different because only Align contains Bifantis®, a patented probiotic strain, available in a convenient capsule form.
