Sustenex

I have suffered from a hiatal hernia and GERD for years. After receiving a sample of Sustenex from my pharmacy, it made sense that good bacteria would benefit any digestive problem. (I have several fish tanks and if I am over zealous in cleaning and destroy too much of the good bacteria, the fish suffer). I have used it daily now for two months and have not had to resort to any SSIs or prescription drugs while on this supplement. It makes more sense to me to take probiotics rather than chemicals found in prescription drugs. I am very happy with this product and plan on continuing it for as long as necessary.

Good Alternative To Yogurt

2008-01-31
Let me preface this by saying that I am a firm believer in probiotics and regularly take kefir and enhanced yogurt as a part of my daily diet. So when I got my 30 day supply, I really didn't notice a difference. All I can say is that I feel good, have not been sick (everyone in my office has had colds) and everything seems to be working fine down there. I will say that I've been slightly more gassy after starting with the Sustenex supplements, but I can't say for sure they are the cause -- though I suspect they may be.

So let me just focus on the pro's here:

1. Convenience - it is easier to take a capsule than eat a container of yogurt. No refrigeration needed.
2. Calories - 0 vs. the 150 calories in 8oz of plain yogurt.
3. Sugar Free - Even plain yogurt has sugar, this doesn't.
4. Right kind of bacteria -- many yogurts don't have the proper mix of bacteria to promote intestinal health.
5. Targeted - the probiotics make it to the small intestine while those in food may be destroyed in the stomach.
6. Price - at about 50¢ a serving, this is a good deal.

Now you won't get the other dietary benefits that you get with a good dairy product, but then again that is not why you are getting this, right? If you don't mind investing a little time, this home Kefir making kit is another good way to go. Kefir Starter Kit by Body Ecology Diet - Makes up to 42 Gallons of High Grade Kefir!

To summarize, I've been happy with the results. But the only way to know for sure it to try it yourself.

UPDATE: I just finished my 30 day supply and I have to say that right after writing this review, the gassy aspect passed. Perhaps because I started taking it with a fiber supplement, who knows. I do know this though. Almost everyone at my office and all of my family had colds this past month. I did not. Did the Sustenex boost my immunse system and help me ward off illness. Perhaps. I think next time I'll get the 90 day supply.

Save $6 and never run out!

This is a great product in a 90 day supply. 1 billion cells of Ganeden in one pill! This stuff leveled out my IBS and cramps in three days. At 50 cents a day, I am very happy to have tons of bacteria taking care of my digestive system. The stuff really works. I can't wait to see what 3 months will bring. I feel a lot better. Thanks - Sustenex!
