Lifted Naturals Mood Boosting Probiotic 30 Billion CFU - Mood Support Supplement, Prebiotics and Probiotics for Women & Men, Acidophilus Lactobacillus Probiotic, Shelf Stable & Non-GMO, 60 Capsules

I read hundreds of reviews while researching this probiotic blend. I am, already, noticing more calm and better mood (more like my old self) within 4 days. My son also commented how he felt more calm and focused and was so much more productive at work within 4 days of taking 1 capsule a day. I am taking 2 capsules a day--1 in morning and 1 in the evening. Can't wait to see how much better I will feel over time. I tend to be sensitive to supplements and I do have histamine issues after tapering off of a sleeping pill in 2021 (much better than it was), but no reactions to this blend, thus far. Husband is taking, too (1 capsule a day). Gut health is so important, but there are so many probiotic brands were you either don't notice any difference, or you have increased bloating & constipation etc. in the beginning. That has not happened for me, but I understand the power of natural remedies and was prepared to lower my dose and go slow if that had been an issue. I've read some reviews where people complained of headaches etc., but sometimes that is just a healing crisis and it's a shame more people are not aware of that and the need to proceed slowly. We all have different/unique microbiome compositions and that is why people can react differently to supplements. I will update, again, after we've been taking for a while and my neighbor has a lot of stress and so I am buying a bottle for her to try, too. SO FAR SO GOOD WITH THESE!! It's early, here, but I recommend them!!

First of all, I don't usually write reviews. This has impacted my life in such a way that I feel the need to write something if nothing else to help others going though what I went though. That said, I've been waiting to write this review because I wanted to wait a decent amount of time to ensure it wasn't wishful thinking or if there would be a rebound in my results. First I'm going to list some issues I've had that are relevant to my situation, and then fill it in with backstory.-=Symptoms beforehand=-* Constant Anxiety for no apparent reason. -always worried, no idea why. No major life change to worry about* Horrible nightmares that would come out of nowhere. (extremely realistic)* Stool was always soft and greasy* unable to sleep all night* Brain fog/confusion* odd lightheaded feeling that I can't explain in words* heart palpitations* unbelievable amounts of fatigue* no joy in doing ANYTHING, couldn't even get into TV* constant acid reflux, especially bad at night.-=Symptoms afterwards=-* Anxiety stopped in under a week of taking these two times a day* First few days I had stomach upset but it subsided fairly quickly* no more acid reflux after two weeks.* No more nightmares.* finally able to sleep an entire night* minimal fatigue to none now. (getting better every day, almost at a month)* brain fog has gotten much better* heart palpitations have almost completely gone away.* finally living and enjoying life again* Stool is more regular and no greasy.Small backstory:I'm sensitive to specific strains of Pro-biotics. I didn't always know this, but over the past few years its become apparent. My problem started after being on Nutrisystem shakes that contain a probiootic. (I didnt know it at the time but I created my problem because of this. Also found that "white pearls" effect me as well. After being on "normal" probiotics I eventually got a constant nervous feeling of impending doom which eventually turned into worrying about family, death, etc. not great stuff. I was constantly nostalgic and wishing I was back when times were good. (not that times aren't now, but I felt bad for so long I felt like this was what life was going to be like for now on) I had no idea why I had fallen into this feeling, but every day and every night I had it, for over a year. I was absolutely miserable. My Dr. tried to put me on Lexipro. -Biggest mistake for me ever. It compounded my issue ten fold, gave me insomnia, etc. I stopped the pills after a week due to not even being able to function at work. I never got back to baseline after that. Its the closest I've ever felt to insanity. When that didn't work he suggested I talk to a psychiatrist. I knew deep down this had to be a medical condition and not some underlying stress thing but didn't know what to do. I was alone with nobody to help. After much reading online I found information about what happens when you gut bacteria is off and how that effects well being. From there I found a group forum talking about many different similar issues I was having and they all recommended this product. I decided to purchase it and give it a try. (mostly because of the reviews) I couldn't believe that after a few days of starting this probiotic, finally, after over a YEAR of anxiety, I finally started to find relief. After a few days I had actually slept all night and was shocked.Truth be told, I'm pretty upset at the three Dr's I've gone to with NONE of them even suggesting a probitoic like this. In retrospect I don't even believe at this point they took me seriously because I didn't want to be on an SSRI. (basically it was my fault for feeling this way because I don't want to be on medication) Further When I discussed how my stomach was always upset and how fatigued I'd get after eating even small meals, it was suggested I just try other meals. Unbelievable.At anyway rate, if you've made it this far in this wall -o- text of a review, I'd implore ANYONE who has any of these symptoms to at least give this an honest try for a week. It has saved me in ways I can't even begin to explain. I keep a bottle at work and a bottle at home. That was I always have them for lunch and dinner.I Hope this helps even one person make the leap. I know not everything works for everyone, but this has changed my life and finally fixed the issues I was having. Stay well everyone!

Really nice prebiotic

I received the item today. Packaging perfect (looks like generic items I bought before, lets hope it works.), item sealed, pill is gel on outside feeling, bot to large for me, easy to swallow. No smell I can detect (I will post updated reviews on how it works for me).

I have now finished the entire bottle of these probiotics and I thought I'd share some positive and negative thoughts regarding them. First of all, these are shelf stable and that makes them convenient and easier to take regularly because even if you are traveling you can slip one of these in your purse so you don't miss any dose. I took my probiotic faithfully every day but I don't really feel it alleviated my anxiety nearly as well as my prior probiotic from Klaire. My anxiety really increased after my bout of COVID but I was able to get it totally under control using Klaire Lactoprime Plus and felt better then I have in a long time. When I finished the bottle of Klaire, I decided to give these a try since they were shelf stable. Sadly, I noticed several times while taking these probiotics that I had severe anxiety issues even though I was totally stable when I started them. Therefore, I have to assume these probiotics are just not capable of controlling anxiety to the degree they claim. I gave them 3 stars because I'm sure they help control mood better then no probiotic, and they are shelf stable which is convenient, but if you are having serious anxiety or depression or panic attacks, I would not start with these probiotics. Get a stronger multi strain until you start to feel better and then maybe use these for maintenance.
