Almost symptom free/review updated

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2013

Review update: 05/14/13. I have upgraded my review from 2 stars to 4. Initially, there were grievances regarding the difficulty dissolving the product due to a labeling error. If you read the review comments, you will see that the product owner provided necessary instructions that completely resolved the issue. I went back to using the product with a good probiotic and my symptoms are resolving. Although a disagreement initially occurred with the owner, I was more than impressed with his desire to make things right. After viewing his website and blog, I'm convinced he is passionate about his products and appears very knowledgeable. That said, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend his products.

Previous review to avoid confusion, as follows:

After a life altering experience, that resulted in the return of IBS that hasn't visited me in years, I knew I needed to take action before my immune system was irreversibly shot.

I opted for the best probiotic I could find and threw in a prebiotic, too, because I wanted desperately to get control of my negative symptoms as soon as possible. As an RN, I know the importance of healthy intestinal functioning.

Honestly, I really can't tell much difference in adding the prebiotic to the probiotic regimen. I'm starting to feel better, but suspect this might have been true with the probiotic, alone, with diet/stress modification and the addition of some dietary soluble fiber. But, if you rarely eat such foods, adding a prebiotic would definitely be a shortcut. We do want to nourish the good bacteria residing in the colon.

The thing I found most objectionable with this product, is the inability for it to dissolve. Unless you throw the powder in a blender, you will be gulping down globs of the stuff, no matter how fast you start stirring. This is not pleasant and wasteful. I can hardly dig out, the settled product in the bottom of the cup. I swear it's like quick-set, cement.

Actually works, highly recommended

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 5, 2013

(I posted essentially the same review for the Syontix probiotics.)

My wife and I have tried numerous probiotics over the last three years. This one actually works, especially in conjunction with the Syontix probiotics ( Syontix Probiotics Ultra, 60 Tablets Per Bottle ).

The theory is that the prebiotic provides a lot of food that helps your good gut bacteria thrive, so they can crowd out the ones you don't want. The probiotic gives you an ongoing supply of good bacteria that use the pre-biotic.

Most probiotics don't do anything at all -- it is like you never took them. This combination has definite and immediate results. First thing in the morning, 45 minutes before breakfast, we take 1 scoop of the prebiotic together with one of the probiotics. Within 24 hours of switching to this brand, I started having regular, easy stools and recognizing when I needed to go. I also started passing some ordorless gas, presumably from the prebiotics. After almost 4 weeks, there is less and less gas, and I expect it to subside completely as my gut bacteria finish shifting to better varieties.

The only other probiotic we've used in the last 3 years that had an actual effect was from Body Biotics ( Body Biotics 90 Caps ), but they are much more expensive and I had to take 5 of them per day to get the same effect as from one of the Syontix, so they end up costing about 6 times what the Syontix cost.

Highly recommended combination!

Oligofructose source for weight loss

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2013

Verified Purchase

I purchased this and two other inulin products after reading about Akkermansia Muciliphilia, a gut bacteria in a friendly relationship to mammals.

In mice studies it was shown that there is an inverse relationship between the population of this bacteria in the lower intestines and body fat. The more bacteria, the lower the fat. This relationship is not fully understood as of this writing in May 2013. But increasing the bacteria apparently decreases adverse metabolic changes and reduces body fat. So these are beneficial bacteria.

There are two possible ways to increase the bacteria population. One is to take a supplement containing the bacteria (I couldn't find any) and the other is to take oligofructose which for some reason encourages a population increase. Inulin contains a collection of oligofructoses.

Will it work? I don't know. But I'm going to try it.

I purchased this brand, Now brand and Viv Agave brand (vanilla flavor). Of the three Now brand is much the better tasting. Viv Agave is ok. This one not so good.

So I would say if you are looking for a good tasting inulin, keep looking. This isn't it.

One Month In

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 30, 2013

Verified Purchase

I've been taking this daily for a month. I take it as soon as I wake up with about 4-6 ounces of water, about 20 minutes before I eat my morning breakfast.

I noticed a tremendous difference within 3 days of starting this product. It was a pleasant, productive change in my schedule, not jarring our surprising.

If you're taking Probiotics and you want something to supplement, this is the product you need to take. It's great! I'm a month in taking this once every morning and I wouldn't be surprised if this tub will last me 3 months or more. I don't feel like I've made a dent in the powder yet.

I take the same brand in probiotics - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0087Q8GZA/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2

Powder is tasteless. I take other supplements for my weight training (which doesn't help my gut health) and some of the powders are simply disgusting. This stuff is honestly tasteless, you can put it in anything, I just use water. The only downside is that I need to pour this powder in WHILE stirring, otherwise it will clump. If you like to dump and stir, you'll be frustrated at the clumps that result in your beverage.
