Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
Americans are a health-care nightmare. We are overweight, sleep-deprived, out of shape, dehydrated, anxiety-ridden, attention deprived and chronically constipated. A great deal of this has to do with our incredibly bad diets. We eat garbage and drink poison, and as a result, contract health problems of various kinds.For example, the average middle-aged American has over five pounds of undigested red meat impacted in his bowels -- in the folds of his (or her) intestines and in the colon. These meats, as they decompose, excrete uremic acid, which leads to such wonderful things as indigestion, flatulence, irritable bowels, bloating, sluggishness, conspitation,and measurably increase the chances of various types of cancers. These illnesses cause us to take patent medicines like pencillin, which in the course of "curing" us destroy our intestinal flora, thus making it even harder for us to properly digest our food. This in turn leads to more health problems, more patent medicine, and so on. It's the very definition of a vicious cycle.
Probiotics will not give you ripped abs, help you sleep, hydrate your soda-parched cells, decrease your worries or help you concentrate: not measurably anyway. But it will help you regulate your solid waste-disposal system. And the importance of this can hardly be overestimated. Good health and what the fiber commercials tactfully refer to as "regularity" go hand in hand. One cannot feel really good if one is, shall we say, full of it. Ultra 10 provides ten different bacteria cultures (13 billion cells) necessary to restore your intestinal flora, and it does it by way of a simple one-pill-a-day formula. I can't imagine a simpler way to get your body back in balance. As for the price, it's quite amazing when one considers that you get 100 doses (better than a three month supply) per bottle. (At my grocery store, they sell a probiotic yogurt culture which is nearly as expensive and gives you only six doses!) Taking the three-bottle deal gives you enough pills to last nearly an entire year.
My own experience with Ultra 10 was this. Within two days (i.e., two pills), I experienced some very minor stomach discomfort which may or may not be typical, and which went away very quickly. I ascribe this to my intestines blooming with healthy bacteria, and considered it about the same as muscle soreness when one begins a new workout regimen. At the same time I noticed that I was hitting the bathroom for good old No. 2 twice as much as normal. This increased time on the throne of thought did not decrease over the next few weeks, leading me to believe that my passion for pizza and several other clingy foods had accumulated a lot of garbage in my system. Now, as my diet has improved, my digestion is still more rabbit-like than before, which leads me to believe that my digestive system is simply more efficient than it has been in many years. My body sucks the necessary goodness about of what I eat and then prompty hits the eject button. Just the way it was meant to.
In short, I highly recommend this stuff as a tool in your getting-healthy arsenal. The price is extremely modest and the three-bottle deal will give you a ten-month supply. In our soda-soaked, fast-food plagued society, anything that helps purge the poisons is good medicine.

I've known for a long time that probiotics (certain bacterial strains) are important to maintaining overall health. My husband and I have taken Enzymatic Therapy Acidophilus Pearls (90 Pearls) for several years and I thought it would be a great idea to experiment with something new, hence the decision to try Ultra 10.
Why do you need probiotics? Lots of reasons:
1. If you've recently undergone a round of antibiotics, you need to work at re-establishing your intestinal flora. This takes a little time, since antibiotics(although often necessary and life-saving) can wreak havoc on the body's overall balance of "good bugs" vs. "bad bugs." Antibiotics don't distinguish between the good guys and the bad guys; they kill off the good guys as well as the bad. And contrary to the advertising blitzes you receive on a daily basis, you really, really DO need bacteria in your life.
2. Taking a probiotic formula will help speed your body re-establishment of colonies of the "good bugs" that help you digest food properly and break down nutrients more effectively. Excessive gas/burping is often indicator of poor digestion.
3. Probiotics like acidophilus have even been shown to help your body generate its own supply of B-vitamins (which means more ENERGY and better brain function/memory).
4. Probiotic formulas also help improve your body's immune system, giving you more natural defenses against colds and flu.
5. In some instances (as in my husband's), probiotics can help ease allergy symptoms. Personally, I think this is directly related to their immune-boosting properties.
I've been taking Ultra10 for the last 2 months and am experiencing positive results. Skin is visibly clearer and I'm definitely energetic. I like the fact that these capsules include 10 different strains of bacteria (rather than simply L. acidophilus) and I've also heard good things about another ingredient, FOS (300 mg/capsule--extracted from the Jerusalem artichoke). I've heard that FOS helps improve energy levels; this seems to be the case with me.
These capsules are enteric coated (so they'll survive the journey through your stomach to your intestines, where they can successfully colonize) and contain no yeast, corn, wheat, salt, citrus, fish, preservatives, colors or flavors. They do contain dairy (l casein) and soy.
My experience? These seem to be an exceptionally high quality probiotic supplement. Enthusiastically recommended!

This was an essential MUST HAVE supplement for me. I am constantly getting sinus infections that I always wind up treated with Anti-biotics and my body has just been RAVISHED by the copious amounts of them in my system over the last few years. I have built up such a tolerance towards antibiotics that I need to stay healthy by other means. A probiotic is one of the best ways to ensure you are putting back the vital "good" bacteria that your body needs into your system to help maintain a healthy immune system.
These probiotics are extremely helpful to keep yourself regular. Sufferers of IBS or irregularity should definitely seek this product out and start taking it every day. It is amazing how fast it helps to get you on a regular schedule in that aspect. I actually do not take them for that reason, but It's nice to know that part of the main reasons you can take this is for aid in digestion issues. I don't have the healthiest eating habits so I feel comfortable taking this and knowing it is going to get me the nutrients I might be lacking from bad eating.
The main draw in for me in regards to this would be the incredible increase in immune support that it gives you. This seems to truly boost defenses and provide extra support to the body during cold and flu season. I noticed that while taking this I didn't catch a cold that was going around my household, which is incredible since I always catch EVERY cold I am around! If I stop taking this, I definitely feel a dip in overall energy level and attitude so I also think it helps provide a big boost in that area too.
The price is a little steep but the product DOES contain a higher level of living bacteria cells at 13 billion over the more commonly used 10 billion and it also provides Ogliosacchirides, which are a widely popular form of protection from yeast infections. I had a thrush infection in my throat (which is yeast) and this helped clear it right up.
This is a great, vital suppliment to take. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to feel better and improve the quality of there lives.
Customer Review: A Must-Have Supplement

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
In these days of hurried eating and incredible stress, taking a probiotic supplement is a must (check with your doctor first of course!). If only I had learned about proper nutrition a long time ago...before the habit of eating too fast, gulping down food instead of chewing it, and getting a very painful (and horribly expensive) ulcer. Now a probiotic capsule a day is something I never miss, along with other good nutritional habits.
This Ultra 10 multi-probiotic formula is a must to take if you have been on antibiotics, to replenish the good "friendly" bacteria your body needs, and it's also good for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, manages lactose intolerance and immune functions, and it's supposed to help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, help with "regularity," and more.
Ultra 10's "Enteric Coated Capsules" have a nice smooth surface, so much easier to swallow than the best probiotic sold by that big nutritional chain at the mall, which has a rough surface and tends to stick in my throat. They also have "13 Billion Living Cells" rather than the 10 billion in the other capsules. In addition, they have 300 mg. of Fructo-Oligosaccharides, a prebiotic popular in Japan, which is supposed to help prevent yeast infections and promote intestinal health, among other benefits. These capsules may seem expensive, but there is nothing more precious than your health, and it's worth every penny to enhance and protect it.
Customer Review: This definitely has an effect!

My family and I have occasional stomach issues; nothing major. We eat Activia yogurt pretty frequently, and my child has received probiotics in powder form from the pediatrician -- they are not some homeopathic "trust us!" remedy. So I gave this a shot. For a few days I took it and didn't really notice any issues. I can't say for sure whether I was just fine to begin with at the time, or whether these capsules had an effect. Then one day I forgot to take it with a meal, and popped one down the hatch on an empty stomach.
Let's just say that my 5-year-old found the results HILARIOUS and leave it at that. (I'm expecting to receive a carbon-offset bill from Al Gore any day now.) So if you could use some digestive improvement, and don't like yogurt, give this a try. I recommend checking with your doctor first, though, just to be safe (as I would with any sort of medication or supplement). I also suggest following the "take with a meal" directions -- unless you are in the mood to discover some fancy new odors unlike any you've emitted before. . .
