Positive experiences

“I had treatment resistant depression...What finally worked was...introducing pre/pro biotics for gut health. It has been life changing.”

“megadosing a probiotic that's worked well for me in the past that I've felt better. And the change has been overnight.”
“Probiotics! And I started using VitaMax tablets again today. I feel amazing and honestly working better than coffee. But get yourself some good probiotics and take them a few weeks.”
“I started taking Colostrum, soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and probiotics, and completely overhauled my diet to cut processed foods. Just good protein, vegetables, and complex carbs. I noticed significant improvement in under a week.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“I've done years of CBT, mediation, psychotherapy, exercise, sunlight exposure, probiotics ... and they helped a lot with other stuff but not the anxiety.”
“I have tried the liquid forms, the refrigerated kinds, and the dual pill versions. I can't say I have ever really noticed a difference.”
“various gut health treatments like (prebiotics and resistant starch and probiotics and ginger and a lot of fruits), which didnt help me.”
“I have tried l-glutamine and probiotics and magnesium and EDTA and biofilm chelators with mixed results.”
“Probiotics can be helpful for anxiety as well. Garden of Life has a probiotic product called mood+ which is pretty good. I don't think it will cure your anxiety but I think it will help significantly.”
