Envive Daily Probiotic Supplement for Men and Women from Bausch + Lomb, Helps Strengthen and Protect The Digestive System*, 60 Capsules

For years I have not been able to eat without taking several pills for tummy every day. This is 1 pill and it helps me all day..I don't have to take anything else..for me it has worked amazingly!!! Its been less than a month also! Very happy!

My doctor has long been recommending that I explore a probiotic to address ongoing gut, digestive, and bowel issues. I've struggled to find one that really addressed my needs well and most have seemed to either really not do anything or give me diarrhea beyond what I could manage well.So, I sort of tiptoed toward Envive. I ordered and received the 30-capsule pack of Envive. Taken as directed, this would last one month with one capsule daily. This should be right about enough time to really determine if Envive is effective. It is noted as help relieve 5 occasional symptoms within 30 days - diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, and discomfort. It comes in a very easy to dispense pill pack where you simply pop out the capsule. I have spastic hands and had no issues dispensing the capsules individually.It's worth nothing that the capsules are the actual size pictured on the box. The product is manufactured by Salix Pharmaceuticals and this is a division of Bausch Health - think Bausch & Lomb. So, this is a reputable and well-known American company.This is not recommended for children under the age of 12. This is a blending of 5 probiotic strains and they are listed on the box in clear and understandable language.Since arriving, I've been using as directed. As I received the product in the afternoon, I actually started my use in the evening. While I'm expecting that I won't see a full benefit until my 30 days are up, it wasn't long into use that I could see some positive changes and, yes, that familiar diarrhea that shows up with probiotic usage. The diarrhea was surprisingly short-lived as Envive seemed to calm my system down including easily noticed decrease in bloating and less discomfort. These were the first two symptoms where I noticed improvement.My hope is that by the end of the 30 days I'll see a more balanced system that is healthier and less prone toward constipation or diarrhea on the extremes. I'm already seeing signs of this and my body is definitely feeling more balanced and healthy.While my experience with probiotics is limited, there's no question this is the most positive experience I've had with probiotics and I'm seeing clear positive results from use. My gut feels calmer and I'm less bloated and more comfortable. While I had a brief period of diarrhea as my body adjusted, that has decreased greatly and my entire system is functioning more normally.While I admit I have some reservations with the price point, I'll also admit with such positive results I'm inclined to add Envive to my wellness routine and to continue daily use as recommended. If these results continue to maintain for the 30 days, there's no doubt that Envive will be a part of my daily routine.

My gut is the proverbial canary in a coal mine. Any stress, any tough decisions, any ongoing pandemics -- I feel it there, and it's been that way since I was a little kid. Back then, doctors assured me that there was nothing wrong and I needed to get used to it. I never did. Fortunately, now we have probiotics.I wasn't initially thrilled with the Envive. I didn't see any change at all. It took about a week before I realized that my stomach felt notably calmer than it had before I started on the supplement. However, other probiotics have worked faster.Envive has been clinically tested, which many will find reassuring. It appears to be vegetarian, but there is nothing -- not on their website (which is supposed to dazzle users rather than provide data) or in their published research -- that verifies this.The competition is far less expensive. Envive is worth a try, if other probiotics aren't working, but it's not the solution for everyone with ongoing GI challenges.

I had a relative who had digestive issues and suggested Align, which seems to be quite similar to this product, Envive. She said she was feeling much better after taking them. I recently decided to take the advice and ordered my first 30-day supply of probiotics. One thing I found about it though is that if I didn’t take them with food, I could actually feel the pill get stuck in my esophagus. (I had it happen several times). I decided to give this one a try instead.This brand is made by trusted company Bausch and Lomb (if you’re a contact lens wearer, you will probably recognize the name). The product was meant to alleviate common digestive issues such as upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation, gas, or bloating. These symptoms actually may appear in people new to probiotics as your body gets used to the new balance between good and bad bacteria in your system. However, since beginning this brand, I didn’t notice any of these problems in the few weeks I have been taking them (usually those sort of symptoms will appear in the first few days).Even though these are in caplet form, Probiotics are made of live organisms, and they are able to survive in your intestines after being eaten. Probiotics are important because everyone has beneficial bacteria in their body - they’re there from the minute you’re born. But bad bacteria/fungi/viruses also enter your body and supplementing can help fight the bad ones, help control inflammation, and keep the balance of good to bad bacteria in check. If you eat a well-balanced diet that is rich in fiber, the bacteria should be at proper levels. I am not the greatest eater, so here we are.Probiotics can be made of up different types of bacteria. The active strains in this include tfour registered types:L.acidophilus NCFML.paracasei Lpc-37,Bifidobacterium lactic Bi-07Bifidobacterium lactic Bi-04Bifidobacterium lactic HN019Probiotics are measured in Billions (yes, with a B) of colony-forming units (CFUs). The typical CFU in a probiotic is 2 to 100 Billion and these come in at 12. But more doesn’t necessarily equal better, and as long as the probiotic is formulated to provide good digestive benefits, that is the important part.These caplets are contained in a blister pack and are easy to swallow. Only one dose is needed a day. They come in 15, 30, and 60 packs. The more per pack, the cheaper. I am not sure why they even sell a 15-pack because it’s not that much cheaper than the 30-pack and I’d want a full 30 days to make sure it was right for me before deciding since there is a settling in phase with these.I for one not only have better digestion, but I feel like I have less drowsiness after meals and also fewer cravings. Although they are a little pricy, I definitely would buy this brand again.
