Daily Food Supplement, Delivers Live and Active Bacteria to Your Gut Microbiome, One Month Supply, Mango and Passion Fruit - 4 x 500ml

I have tried several probiotics and the best ones are always the fresh ones that you have to keep refrigerated and that’s what you do with these. They definitely make a huge difference in my G.I. and overall wellness. I also purchased these on a subscription since they are a little bit on the expensive side, sometimes I get them with the Affirm payment plan.

I have a couple of underlying chronic conditions, both of which can impact my bowels. However, I found myself feeling especially terrible, with a lot of bloating and digestive distress, after a stay in hospital when I had been given a course of two antibiotics at the same time - shortly afterwards I diagnosed with IBS and as suffering from candida overgrowth, possibly linked to the antibiotic treatment. Over the course of a decade I tried numerous different interventions including taking well-known brands of probiotics over a long period of time, prebiotics, anti-candida treatments, moving to a ketogenic diet and modifying my exercise routine. In combination these have made a difference, but the probiotics and prebiotics I had tried were probably the least efficacious interventions of the lot. With Symprove, however, I saw clear improvements after around 8 weeks of treatment. It definitely was not overnight, and perhaps I wouldn't have seen these improvements without the dietary changes I had made well before starting the Symprove. However, about 2 months in I realised that I was no longer bloated after almost every meal, my appetite was far more consistent, I seemed to be having fewer sugar and carb cravings, and I was much more regular. Prior to Symprove, a couple of times a week I would experience stabbing sensation in my stomach; now I experience this twice a month at most. I have now been taking Symprove for almost 9 months, although I did have a two month break in the middle and gradually began experiencing more frequent digestive distress so did begin Symprove shortly thereafter. It seems that, for me at least, the benefits remain when I stay on the Symprove, and only for a few weeks after. I have found, however, that after the initial 10 weeks taking the full 70ml dose, I can then take just half that dose daily and still reap the full benefits. I've always ordered the Mango and Passion Fruit flavour; it's not especially pleasant, but I found that after a couple of weeks I was used to it. A few times I have forgotten to wait the full 10 minutes before eating and drinking, having taken the Symprove on an empty stomach first thing. Nothing awful happened, although I did feel a little nauseous. Given the benefits I've experienced, I've recommended this product to friends and family, including those who have struggled with IBS and Coeliac disease, all of which have reported experiencing similar benefits to myself. One of them had also had the product recommended to them by a Nurse. That said, some seemed to experience improvements in the first couple of weeks, whereas a relative took Symprove for almost 4 months before experiencing similar improvements. It is definitely not cheap, but when looking at the cost of taking other probiotics (some of which you need to take multiple times a day) it's not too bad and for me personally, given its effectiveness, I have found it well worth the price.

Helps my gut with the bloating

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This product is nothing short of miraculous! When I asked a well-known neuroscientist about the gut-brain connection, he told me that gut health matters—and Symprove was the rare probiotic that actually delivers living microorganisms to their destination. Symprove restored my normal GI function after a surgery that disrupted it. I wish it were available outside the UK.

I tried the Mango & Passionfruit flavour and found it actually quite pleasant—it tastes nice and feels like a high-quality product. I started with the 4-week pack from Amazon, but didn’t notice any significant changes within that first month. However, since my GP recommended Symprove due to IBS-like symptoms, I decided to commit for the longer term. For my second order, I went for the 12-week pack on Amazon again, but unfortunately, the expiry dates were earlier than expected—not suitable for a full 12-week course—so I had to return it. After that, I switched to a subscription directly from the Symprove website, which has been much more reliable, with proper expiry dates and consistent delivery. I’ve now been using it regularly for the past 5–6 months. Honestly, I can’t say for sure if I feel a big difference, but I know it contains beneficial bacteria and is likely helping my gut health. I prefer this liquid form over capsules, and it’s an easy way to start my day—just a quick sip of something good for my body. I plan to continue using it for at least a year.
