Does this product compare to Align probiotics?

Sorry, I do not use Align because they cause me stomach problems. I like these more.

The only difference I found when I made the switch from Align was the cost! This is a much cheaper alternative! My box arrived quickly (2 days) and was nicely packaged.

I can't say as I have never taken Align, however, ever since I have begun taking this probiotic, I feel more balanced and overall have had more energy. I have horrible stomach problems, so taking this along with omeprezole has really done my digestive system good.

Mine was shipped by "Great Bargainz" and the product box was so mangled I returned it. HOWEVER got good ratings on Walmart.com and Costco. com where there is also free shipping and a few dollars less than Amazon.com. A friend is taking the Garden of Life products ones that must be refrigerated and loves them. Allot more money than 4x though. I'd give the 4x products a try for a month or two based on cosf and convenience. Happy hunting!

I just noticed in bold print on the box:CONTAINS WHEAT AND SOY. Sorry...maybe another brand of probiotics would not have wheat and soy.

Most pro biotic capsules are made to dissolve in the intestine rather than the stomach to protect the contents from the harsh stomach acids. I don't know if this is the case with Align but if it is, you may greatly reduce its effectiveness by removing it from the capsule.

I have some severe issues because of Ulcerative Colitis, but with the Digestive Advantage products, I have them less often. I take both products. What I would suggest is that you ask your doc about using these products if you have any sort of gastrointestinal issues. If you are using probiotics for health improvement, I'd go with Intensive Bowel Support. I hope this answers your question.

Hi Sam, before starting on a probiotics regimen, I read a lot. One of the articles I read is this http://www.health.harvard.edu/fhg/updates/update0905c.shtml. I am sure you will find plenty online. Just a caveat, I am not a MD or a biochemist or a professional in the the are, but let me tell you my experience. I started taking probiotics and I noticed after 10 days improvement on the issues I had. After finishing the first bottle, I did not buy or take another pill for a couple of weeks. The issues resumed, and I quickly bought a larger bottle this second time around. As for choosing this brand, I bought it based on its reviews and its high number of CFU's. I hope that helps.

I honestly had NO idea that there were probiotics in this supplement - so I went and looked - you are exactly correct. I can only think that they put it in there to assist in the digestion of the RAW calcium - but I am not sure about this.What I DO know is that I just had my right femur cut in half & straightened - which means I have a steel plate and 8 screws in my leg. My surgeon left a gap in the bone so that he could straighten the leg. I am a soon to be 60 year old woman. My leg has healed so so so well. It has to have something to do with this Grow Bone. My doctor told me that he has 20 year olds that are not doing as well as I am doing.

for me; immediately. However, they do not act like medications on the body. They support the body. I tend to take them at night time and wake up with less soreness in throat. The other significant difference I noticed is/was less of a feeling of fluid pressure in the ears. Just like gut probiotics, if you already have an infection going on, you may need additional and medicinal aid.

I cannot specifically compare to align, but I do know culterelle has been a good number of medical studies. So, it's claim about fixing digestive problems and boosting the immune system are much better documented.

I have never used the raw probiotics, but have used this product for the last 5 years and have been very satisified. I had one child who had repeated strep and was on antibiotics for over 75 straight days....never had a single gut problem and used this probiotic religiously....and still do. I have read that the inulin (prebiotic) and saccharomyces boulardii are amazing for your GI system. It has certainly worked for us! Hope that helps!!

I don't know. All I do know is this probiotic is tasteless, so it mixes really well in my cats' food. One of them used to get an upset stomache on occation and since I've been using this product, it doesn't happen anymore.

Don't really know. I purchased this because it was reasonably priced. Didn't want to spend a lot of money trying probiotics. After receiving it, the directions say, 'take up to 9 a day'. So much for saving money! Won't buy again!

I really can't answer your question but can tell you it's the only probiotic I can take that doesn't cause MORE stomach upset. I've tried at least 4 other kinds but am unsure of their delivery system.

The VSL-3 was recommended by both my Primary and the Gastroenterologist because of the several strains of Lactobacillus. when I looked at the Bio-K these were not present. I looked at the Bio K because of the cost difference but the VSL-3 is worth the slightly higher cost.
