(More customer reviews)I have IBS & intestinal malabsorption issues stemming from SIBO [small intestinal bacterial overgrowth] and must supplement with highly effective probiotics to restore appropriate flora balances.
I have found Florastor to be effective -- much more so than what I purchased from my local health food store, Whole Foods, and our buying club/coop -- BUT it is not the most powerful probiotic out there. For me, VSL#3 is hands-down the most effective probiotic available, and it's what I depend on to regain balance.
That said, Florastor is leaps and bounds beyond most probiotics available, and it is substantially less expensive than VSL#3 -- which should only be used under supervision of a physician and is considered a "medical food" to treat everything from IBS to SIBO to even Crohn's and ulcerative colitis -- so I think Florastor is a very good option for most people.
Minor con: the company that shipped this did so in somewhat sub-par packaging and the bottle itself (glass with a paper label) had a very faded, partially peeling label and a somewhat damaged seal on the lid. The seal was still partially intact, and since refrigeration is not required for this product, I was not worried that it was a little beat-up, but it was slightly disconcerting nonetheless, or at least surprising.
Minor plus: does not require refrigeration, as opposed to VSL#3, but making fridge space isn't a major deal either way -- this is nice, however, for traveling and office storage.
Another plus: vegetarian capsules, great for vegans like me who don't want gelatin in their supplements.
