Align Probiotic, Probiotics for Women and Men, Daily Probiotic Supplement for Digestive Health*, #1 Recommended Probiotic by Doctors and Gastroenterologists‡, 42 Capsules

Great

I was very surprised that Amazon had this. I would not have thought I could find it here but Align's web site listed all the people who had it, so I compared prices. Amazon was the cheapest then, I don't know if they will continue. I could have had free shipping too but I didn't order soon enough and needed to continue taking it without a gap. This product has been extremely helpful to me. I have had IBS symptoms for quite some time in my life. And recently I had some major medical problems with my stomach. 11,000 $ plus of fancy testing and we are all left scratching our heads. I was given several align trial packs by a doctor to see if it would make a difference. I started them over spring break so that any side effects (the gas you read about) would not make me miss classes. I'm glad I did because I was so tired that first week. I had a lot of gas and because my body was so weak anyways, I just slept a lot. But I noticed the gas was different!! There were lots of little bubbles as opposed to large pressures building with sudden release. I have now been taking align for several months and have continued to see consistent improvement. There were a couple instantaneous changes like the gas, but you really have to stick with this product. I have more energy now as well. +++ I have only had one time of IBS like symptoms in the last couple months!! My patience paid off. For the price, this is soooo worth it. To be complete, I should say that I also started working out on average 4.5 days a week (when I started I could only do about 6 min on an elliptical), and I take pepcid. I have a lot of nasal allergies and the pepcid I think helps my gut not react... besides being an anti-acid it is an antihistamine. I also take vit D. So, that is my complete set up. I was doing everything except the Align, for a month before starting it with a little improvement. I feel like my improvement approximately tripled when I started taking align. I will not cease taking it unless there is a crazy good reason.

Align is an excellent product I’ve been using it for years. The capsules now come in a nice bottle inside the Align box. I’m not sure if they will still make the ones that come in sheets with the days of week. The style of the bottle is small and very easy to open.

I've taken Align for the last 10 years after many years of really serious digestive complaints. GI doctors were absolutely no help and I've seen more than a dozen over the first 10 years or so, always hoping to find one that would take the time and effort to properly diagnose my condition. It just didn't happen, and I knew the location of every rest room in the state, and many times we'd have to exit the highway and find a rest room when traveling. Finally in desperation I stumbled across Align and started taking it, improvement has been slow but steady. Early on, I took multiple Pro-biotic Supplements including Align, Phillips Colon Health, Natures Way , Insync, Florastor and I'm sure there were others. I thought that if Align helped some other brands might help more, as they all contain various kinds of micro flora. The cost became an issue so I gradually cut out the other brands as I found that Align worked well for me. 10 years later my horrible digestive issues have improved so much that life is much more pleasant. Not perfect, but no longer a nightmare. I take it faithfully along with my daily vitamins and calcium. I find that if I fail to take the Align, my symptoms seem to revert.If you are having bad digestive issues and the GI doctors send you away with a smile and tell you to take fiber, it could be worth your while to try Align. If you do chose to try it, be persistent and give it a good six months or a year. I think that Align has improved my symptoms perhaps 80% and if I take it for the next 10 years they might continue to improve. It's a small thing to try and cannot harm especially if you are having horrible digestive complaints.I'm thankful for Align and we no longer have to exit the highway to find a restroom.

Likes- pills aren't big, one a day.Dislike- container.Conclusion- makes me go to the bathroom normally without worries. Idk why they don't use a bottle instead for container, but it would be better than a cardboard box. When i don't have these, bloating commence asap, it sucks because in USA all food makes you bloat.

I'm in my late 20's and have had diagnosed IBS for almost 10 years now. I've managed to keep it under control on-and-off for most of that time by staying away from fatty foods (particularly late at night), trying to keep my stress level down, and occasionally taking some anti-spasmodic medication. But for the past year or so, I've felt increasing levels of stress and anxiety due to work, relationships, etc. My IBS began to flare up and I was feeling symptoms practically all day long, no matter what I would eat. I started feeling anxious about going out to dinner with family and friends, which of course, only makes the IBS flare up more. The compounding effects of this cycle (plus the fact that my fear and stress about eating made me lose a lot of weight very quickly), eventually became intolerable, and out of desperation, I bought Align.I don't think I've felt this "regular" in 10 years. I feel my confidence about going out to eat (and eating at all) returning, and my anxiety melting away. I've gone almost every day that I've taken the Align probiotic without any IBS symptoms at all. The change is nothing short of miraculous.I know that probiotic supplements don't work for all IBS sufferers (not to mention it's not cheap), but take it from someone who was miserably under IBS's control for almost a decade, it's at least worth a shot! If you're in the position I was in 5 weeks ago- desperately seeking a way to regain something resembling a normal life with healthy digestion- you have almost nothing to lose. Try it! And I really hope it works as well for you as it did for me.
