• Changed my life  |  (Posted on 7/5/10)

  Review by Mads

  I am a physician and functional medicine practitioner. I have also had my share of health troubles, the typical lifelong food allergies and sensitivities, IBS like symptoms, pain, bloating, gas, flatulence, fatigue, and general malaise. I had recurrent strep throat, sinusitis and tonsillitis as a child and young adult and at times was prescribed antibiotics for months on end.
  
  I have made many, many changes in my lifestyle and diet in recent years and am now cured of most of these symptoms. When I was treating myself for these conditions, I would add one supplement or intervention at a time, so that I could be sure what each intervention's effect was and know what worked and what did not.
  
  This product from RenewLife had by far the most profound impact on my health. Within days my intestinal symptoms were well controlled and within several months were gone for good. Be warned, however, this is strong stuff, and make sure that you are well nourished and supplimented before beginning this product. It could cause unpleasant die-off reactions. This is a good thing, because you know it is working, but make sure your detox pathways are running smooth and that you have plenty of antioxidants and B-vitamins on board.
  
  This is a top notch product and provides levels of crucial bifidobacteria unmatched in any other product on the market. Don't waste your time with the cheap acidophilus.

• My savior!  |  (Posted on 5/14/10)

  Review by Michelle

  I was diagnosed with "c diff." a few months ago after the antibiotic Clindamycin, prescribed by my dentist, made me violently ill. I experienced many daily bouts of painful, uncontrollable diarrhea. My family physician prescribed another antibiotic, Flagyl, to cure the c diff. After two separate rounds of flagyl, the symptoms would weaken a bit but return as soon as I completed the prescription. In desperation, I visited my local Vitamin Shop and spoke to the manager who insisted I try Ultimate Flora. Thank God she did for I am now much, much better! I still take UF daily, just in case the old bug is lingering, and I have maintained a healthy lifestyle. Thank you Renew Life!

  Review by heather

  I have struggled with irregularity in bowel function, yeast infections, embarrassing halitosis, lactose intolerance, food allergies, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and more recently excessive gas and bloating. I had digestive pain after eating was normal for me since I was a child and so I was always underweight and allergic to things it seemed everyone else could eat. I took a lot of antibiotics for tonsillitis during childhood and when I got my wisdom teeth out, the powerful antibiotic I took was the last straw. I have been taking acidophilus pills and enzymes daily with food along with straight vinegar when indigestion would hit. I saw little improvement.
  
  After one DAY on Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50, I could feel a difference in my body function. It began to clean my colon within hours, not days. I have never felt like I had a "normal" bowel movement, they were meager and only every 2 or 3 days. On my first day, I had two with no bleeding fissures or discharge due to trauma. Only a person who has been through what I have could understand the happiness that brought me no matter how private that seems. Later that day, while walking my dog, I felt the urge to run, I had energy instead of feeling toxic and lethargic. I ran a mile. That is why I just had to write and tell you of my experience and I hope ANYONE who has had digestive problems and the side effects they cause will find and use your products.

  Review by Kathryn

  I am 46 and have dealt with allergy symptoms for most of my adult life and at times the symptoms would be so severe that I couldn't carry on 'normally'. About 11 years ago I was diagnosed with asthma and was prescribed inhalers, one being a steroid. I found, to my astonishment, that one time I needed to use 8 puffs a day of the steroid inhaler for about a week, I got severe laryngitis, which needless to say didn't impress me.
  
  An overactive immune responses (asthma) also ups mucous production, so I was always doing a lot of coughing because my body wanted to get the mucous out and also because of the wheezing and tightness. I recently discovered that about 80% of the immune system resides in the 'gut' and that an imbalance of the good/bad bacteria can affect immune response. I then thought about the fact that over the years I had been on antibiotics many times and was not informed by any doctor that they not only kill the bad bacteria, but also the good. So I thought that my 'gut' was probably not in good shape.
  
  I decided to try Ultimate Flora and I am so glad I did. I can not begin to tell you how great I feel. After I started the product I immediately noticed an improvement in all my allergic symptoms, most of all, the asthma. I have not had to use any inhalers for the past week and I am looking forward to hopefully many more weeks with no inhalers.

  Review by Colleen & Colin

  Thank you so much for your Ultimate Flora Critical Care 50 Billion. My 9 year old son, Colin, has been struggling with diarrhea off and on for 3 years! It was so bad at Christmas time that he was dehydrating, weak, and vomiting. I was desperate when a good friend told me to give Colin Diar-Ease and Ultimate Flora, 3 a day to start. Within 12 hours his diarrhea was gone, and now 10 days later every day is still a good day for Colin!! His energy is amazing and he is so happy to be better. We can never thank you enough!

• Good Products  |  (Posted on 5/6/10)

  Review by patty

  About two months ago I began taking these probiotics and your Organic Triple Fiber. Before that I was having serious problems with my bowels...I never knew when I was going to have to run for a bathroom and most times didn't make it. My doctor checked me for everything possible and found nothing. I decided to go to a health food store. I bought these two items and after one month I felt perfectly normal. Thanks for such good products.

• Not for People with Dairy Allergy/Sensativity  |  (Posted on 4/22/10)

  Review by ctmm

  Product contains "mild traces of milk and soy proteins." This info came from a paragraph which appears below the "warning" section on the box for this product. This information should be listed below the ingredients section, as people with dairy allergy or sensitivity should not use this product.
  
  While I would normally rate this a 4-5, lack of disclosure on the part of Renewlife brings rating down to a 3.

• It got rid of my H-pylori  |  (Posted on 4/16/10)

  Review by Jen

  Following 2 consecutive rounds of antibiotics (lasted 1 full month) I still tested positive for H-pylori (the bacteria that causes stomach ulcers) and in addition acquired my first yeast infection. I knew I needed to replenish good bacteria and found Ultimate Flora - 50 billion count seemed like the highest count at the time and started taking one daily. I have been on it for 2 years now and not only did I test negative for the H-pylori but now my immune system is much stronger. I used to get a cold every other month, ever since I started Ultimate Flora I have only been sick twice. I too will be taking this permanently and have recommended the product to my parents and many friends.

• This product saves my a**  |  (Posted on 3/16/10)

  Review by Ed

  Thanks to the modern healthcare system I got a nasty bacterial infection some years ago that resulted a sensitive digestive system. I am also a fairly adventurous eater by nature which means that from time to time I get a flare up - often self-induced and always a nuisance. I have now found that without fail for the last six months, if I feel a problem coming on and take about 4 Ultimate Flora's for a few days, it never turns into a big deal and I am usually over it by the second day. Given the nature of these problems I can truly say it saves my a**.

• I will be taking this product permanetly  |  (Posted on 2/10/10)

  Review by Jan

  For most of my adult years I was plagued by urinary tract infections (almost monthly). Until approximately 10 years ago I was treated by my doctor for these infections but they always returned. I am a very healthy woman with no medication other than those infections and decided to research for a natural product to fight these infections and found Renew Life Ultimate Flora, Critical Care - 50 Billion. I've been taking one capsule in the evening for over three years and have had no sign of the infections that I had for so many years. I believe Ultimate Flora rid my body of the unhealthy bacteria that caused these infections, so I'll be taking this product permanently.
