– Symprove Liquid Live & Active Bacteria, Original, 12 x 500ml | Daily shot with billions of live cultures, water-based, vegan, dairy & gluten free, no added sugar, 12 week pack

Although it takes a while to get used to the taste. It seems to have helped with my stomach/stool issues, I've had issues with years and ended up going private, the doctor recommended this.

Love this stuff would take it all the time if the price was right. Thoroughly recommend to anyone looking to boost their gut bacteria.

Works for me first thing in the morning no bloating love I feel great

Good probiotics but had leaked on arrival

I was recently introduced to this at a health fair. I get bloaty/crampy IBS that can at times be horribly debilitating not to mention incredibly painful. I've done quite a bit of reading into probiotics to try and support/improve my symptoms - there's a vast choice and mixed reviews as to effectiveness. The plus points of this: live bacterial strains - the claim is "quicker activation" than freeze-dried counterparts easy to take form that ensures maximum bacterial transit to the intestinal tract doesn't contain anything to stimulate digestion - again, this backs the assertion that it then allows more of the bacteria to reach beyond the stomach - all those yoghurt based ones will get attacked by your stomach acid dealing with the protein. clinical trial results to back their claims run by a reputable hospital in London (there are few enough of those, and it does help to take some of the "guess work" out of effectiveness - although I'm a great believer in using placebo effect too, after all a placebo is a powerful thing with few side-effects!) The points raised by other reviews: Taste - personally I like the taste, it's really grown on me... and if you don't like it you can dilute with water really easily! It's a bit sour/vinegary. But if you've ever taken neat cider vinegar, this is frankly sweet nectar! There is also a flavoured fruity version (too sweet for my taste) and they're bringing out an apple/cinnamon variety in the new year. Expensive - yes it is (but so is any really good quality probiotic - and generally you get what you pay for). Also, I judge it in context of what price a comfortable/less stressed out gut has on my life and what I'm willing to shell out for that. It works out at less than £2 per day if you buy as a 4-pack and take the 50ml dose. That's less than the price of a fluffy coffee from a well-known tax-dodging coffee shop! on balance, I'd rather have this. the other thing, being liquid form - it's relatively bulky compared to tablet forms. I don't mind, it's well packaged and I'm not globe-trotting! There's also the advantage of it not having to have weird fillers and preservatives which many pill forms have. So has it worked for me? I have definitely had improvement in my condition, and a much more stable gut = less stressed unhappy me. I'm all for that. No I haven't had a complete cure, but then I didn't expect one - the gut is complex and relies on good consistent diet practices too, which due to work/stress/hours is rather disrupted at the moment. Indeed, in light of that I believe that the Symprove has had a marked supportive effect for me and I'm happy with the product. I'm about 55 days in, I've said I'll give it the recommended full 90 days before I decide whether I remain on it or cut it out (hence the 4 stars, as thus far, thus good, but I will try to remember to update after the full 3 months!). An expensive experiment? Perhaps, but I consider it worth while if it gives me a better quality of life as a result. It's horses for courses - there's no guarantee that it will be a silver bullet for you, but not every treatment works for every person in every situation. I also recommend phoning Symprove and having a chat to one of their staff - they're really friendly/helpful and may be able to give more tailored advice for your particular condition.

After nearly 3 years of using Symprove daily, I can honestly say that the gut problems I have had for years (discomfort, bloating, irregularity) have improved dramatically, making daily life and sleep patterns much more predictable. It is now a part of my morning routine, being the first thing I reach for from the fridge. The taste takes a little getting used to, but it is well worth persevering. The 7 day travel pack makes it easier to take on your holidays.

Having recently completed a course of antibiotics I bought a 12-week course of this product to help relenish good gut bacteria. Unfortunately I had to stop after just two weeks because of the irritation I was experiencing in my gut lining whenever I took the recommended daily dose. I noticed that each dose contains 231% of the RDA of Vitamin C, in the form of Ascorbic Acid. Vitamin C is a known GI tract irritant, particularly when it's taken in an unbuffered form such as ascorbic acid! It also contains potassium sorbate as a preservative, which is another known gut lining irritant! In a product that's supposed to improve gut health!

I first used symprove in 2016 and it fixed the problem. This time around it took a week to work which is quicker than the 1-3 months stated. It an excellent product and worth the money.

Very quick delivery. Is it just me or has the flavour of the original Symprove changed? It used to be quite strong, but this one was very neutral.

I am very happy with this probiotics. I have tried many brands and nothing compares to this one. The manufacturer states to use the product for 3 months but it cleared my digestive issues within 4 weeks. Drink 70ml first thing every morning, wait at least 20min before consuming other food/drinks. It is pricy but well worth it compare to swallowing pills that do not work as well. I have cut down to 35ml per morning as maintenance dose.

Perfect 👌

Seit einem Jahr trinke ich Symprove fast jeden Morgen. Meine Verdauung hat sich sehr verbessert, weniger Blähungen und bemerkenswert mehr Energie. Die Regelmäßige Einnahme lohnt sich unbedingt, effektiver als Probiotika in Getränken. 3 Monate und die Welt sieht besser aus !

Product is amazing. Takes a few weeks to work when you first start, but works very well after that.
