Both my husband and I take this product daily. I'm lactose intolerant and find that my digestion has improved dramatically, so much so, that when we vacationed in Egypt, we were the only ones in the group of 43 people that remained healthy and only had very minor GI probloms. This is so promising, from a medical standpoint, because traveler's diahrrea is comonplace in developing nations. This Probiotic seems to be preventive with this problem. One "side effect" that I've noticed in my husband, is that he appears slighly younger or more healthy, after taking this product for a month, he says I look better too. So I reccomend this product.
Good Alternative To Yogurt January 31, 2008

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 received this product as part of Amazon's Vine Program. I have suffered from minor to moderate digestive issues ever since surgery on my colon many years ago. I was hoping that Sustenex might have some positive effect on my overall disgestion. Alas, I could not observe any difference of any kind. I would have given this product one star, but I know that people vary. Also, I would also say that I did not notice any negative effect from this product. In summary, no observable effect as a consequence of this product. I cannot recommend it.

This product in 3 days has balanced out my digestive tract and changed my life. As a person with cronic issues, to no longer having to deal with pain, bloating, or other digestive tract issues that I was begining to think were lifetime. They are now GONE. I can't say enough and for the price - is a lot cheaper then tests or presciption. You have nothing to lose and your whole life to gain. Try this, it really works!!!!
