Dr. Tobias Deep Immune Probiotics & Prebiotics, Dual Action Digestion & Immune Support with PreforPro Prebiotics & Delayed Release Spore Forming Probiotics for Women & Men, 60 Capsules, 30 Servings

good , this brand for me is very reliable.

Tl;dr: I purchased this product in hopes that it would help my STREP THROAT. It worked. This product contains a virus that destroys bad bacteria. Didn't even know that until I started taking it. Keep reading below.. Probiotics is one of those new ages terms that gets thrown around at nearly the same frequency as "thyroid problems" and "adrenal malfunction" (which is complete and utter BS BTW). Most products that contain probiotics get destroyed by stomach acid and never reach the places they need to anyways. I'm a highly educated person, a business owner, with multiple degrees--to say that I like to learn and understand is an understatement. I like to research before I buy. I took a chance on this product, and I'm happy I did. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STREP THROAT: I waited it out for nearly 2 weeks. Since I don't have insurance (ef the affordable health care act bunch of freakin' monkeys over there). My neck was sore and tender. I was bed ridden for the first 4 days (which never happens to me ever). After the 2 week mark, I decided I better get down to the doctor and get tested, it could be serious. Went in and him cash to do a mouth swab and run the test. Sure enough. Strep Positive. I told the doctor, "thanks, all I needed to know." "Don't you want antibiotics?" "Mm.. not really" I'm not suggesting other people disregard their doctor's advice. I just didn't like the idea of taking another round of antibiotics. There's many peer reviewed studies by scientists out there that describe the damage that antibiotics cause in your gut and other organs. I took this Deep Immune thing for 4 days straight and strep gone. Appetite was back. Energy back. Unbelievable. But.. I somehow reinfected myself. Found out it was my toothbrush, did it again but instead finished the whole bottle. 6 weeks later, strep hasn't come back. DID YOU SAY VIRUS? Here's the interesting thing, I stated above this product contains a virus. Yes, you are infecting yourself with a virus when taking this. On the back of the bottle you'll see PreforPro: 3 different Myoviridae and Siphoviridae. Google these. They seek out harmful bacteria and pierce the cell walls of that bacteria and injects itself inside. Once it has control of that bacteria cell, it starts to manufacture most of itself. Pretty cool. OTHER EFFECTS After taking this product, I did notice less cravings for junk food and more cravings for healthy food. Some increased energy and well being. I think it's subjective, because I believe it's still undecided whether probiotics have any lasting effects. This product does have spores that grow inside your intestines, but I don't know if those are sustainable after you stop taking this. The food craving stuff has stuck, don't notice much of a difference as far as motivation or energy. Your gut is said to control a major portion of that type of stuff. Anyways, great product. I'd buy again. A+++

I love this product. i dont have an immune system so fungi the affects people makes me very ill. over the counter antifungals work fine until they dont, cloramazole 1% is over the counter then i graduated to 2% which is a script called naftin. after that your talking about oral meds which make me very ill . these cant really be used on going long term either. the above treatment took about 15 years to work thru w them all eventually failing as the fungi adapts . this left me searching far and wide on the net for other ideas. women didnt die of yeast infections for the last 10,000 years b4 we had these newer drugs so i searched out herb remedies. this product has one of three herbals found to be effective for centuries. that herb is called Bifidobacterium lactis. this product eliminated fungi in the pubic region very well . an aside here i recently had lung issues that triggered a scan that scan got me a lung cancer scan given under mild anesthesia which looks for cancer activity the lungs. non was found. however something was found that couldnt be identified and the something was very painful in the lungs. i consulted we a pulmonology specialist and we guessed this could also be fungi. i didnt know one could have fungi in the lungs but doc set me straight. so i upped to dose to 2 caps a day and the lung issues cleared up too.! so in summary this product works very well. i have used it for last 2 years. no side effects at all and no problem with taking it as long as u take it mid meal and w the largest meal u have in a day. recently i opened my bottle and lost my apatite as the stench was really bad. i checked the bottle and it has 2 YEARS to go before it expires. so this means to me amazon had improperly stored this product for some time. if you have ever been in a modern warehouse like amazons , you might notice that products stored on the top tier of shelving are probably 20 to 30 degrees warmer than anything at floor level. i suspect these had been improper stored causing them to go bad early. i am now trying a different product for a while and hopefully i can switch back to these after the bad stock is sold or removed. its too soon for me to tell you whether the alternative i found work well. stay tuned. also feel free to forward this to amazon maybe it will cause them to change there ways regarding storage and stock rotation. best of luck DFB

This probiotic caught my attention when I saw it as a daily deal on Amazon. Prior to taking it I've taken other probiotics and most recently the Jarrow Formulas Jarro-dophilus EPS, 120 Capsules on a regular basis, but have noticed no real positive effects from doing so. During the past week I've been vigilant about taking these as directed. The capsules are not big by my standards, and have no unpleasant taste - however if you stuff your nose in the bottle it will be 'unpleasant'. I take them with my largest meal and have not had any stomach upset except for the first day. I was relieved when that didn't continue. I've had ulcerative colitis for the past six years and take a drug to reduce inflammation in my intestines. At times I've had to go on steroids to help this drug to do its job. I tend to easily get stomach and/or bowel upset following eating anything, and frequently feel sick because of it. I also have fibromyalgia which makes my energy level a big concern and joint pain which is made worse if I don't eat the right foods and/or eat too much sugar or caffeine. I often deal with yeast overgrowth (oral thrush and vaginal yeast) as a result of these medical conditions. What I've noticed over the course of a week is that my usually bloated lower abdomen is slowly going down - despite changing nothing in my diet. I drink a lot of water, exercise and eat mostly healthy foods, but have had problems with bloating and frequent flares of diarrhea since my ulcerative colitis kicked in. This probiotic may be helping my intestines to calm down as both the bloat and frequency (and consistency) of bowel movements have been improving since taking it. My gut noises are overall more frequent now, maybe because the overall system is working more effectively? I feel as though my yeast overgrowth is slowly subsiding too. (I also take AZO Yeast to assist in the management of this issue, but it's mild and doesn't really cut it as it doesn't kill yeast - it simply lessens the symptoms.) I'll continue to take this product and update this review as I do. I'm optimistic that it is the real deal, and can help me to live a more balanced, healthy life despite challenging health issues. I will be happy if I can continue to lose the uncomfortable bloat and yeast issues, but a gut free from painful ulcerative colitis symptoms would totally sell me on it. To be continued... -------------------------------- 9/29/15: UPDATE - Annoying, slightly shady emails. Dr. Tobias' team has sent three emails since this purchase a week ago. This is irksome, and I have sent an 'unsubscribe' notice. They offer a FREE bottle of this, but the likelihood is they will request a positive review for it. I've not spoken to them, thus this is just an assumption on my part. This is the email I received: "Hello! You purchased Dr. Tobias Deep Immune from us recently.

Why? After running out of this product I purchased something similar locally and started using it. Then I just never returned to this one. They cost about the same, and frankly it was tough to believe that this product was that much better than the other. Both provided my gut with the healthy bacterial support it needed and I noted no real change in my yeast levels not taking this product. I think it works the way it is designed to and is a good product. It never upset my digestive tract to take it and I did feel it helped in reducing bloating and gas. I recommend you give it a try if you're on the fence about it. It's a solid product that works well, but it just may not be the magical 'deep immune' fix-it-all some would like it to be. -------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------

I have had severe digestive system issues...ulcerative colitis, duodenal ulcer, colonic inertia/lack of peristalsis...most of my adult life, starting over 40 years ago. Finally, 14 years ago, most of my large intestine was removed. Although this solved some issues, it seemed to create others. My ability to digest and absorb foods properly to get the nutritional benefit was greatly diminished and since the surgery, I have suffered years of sub-par health. A few months ago I bought some digestive enzymes and started using them daily. (I had not discovered the Dr. Tobias line of products at this time, so these were not Dr. Tobias brand enzymes...they will be next time!) I didn't notice any improvement, but I knew this would not be a "quick fix", since I had been digestively compromised for so many years. Then a few weeks ago, while trying to think of anything else I could do to support my digestive system, it dawned on me that my intestinal bacteria were probably totally out of whack from all the trauma and medications my digestive system had endured over all these years. I researched and decided on DEEP IMMUNE OPTIMUM PROBIOTICS by Dr. Tobias. When I received these, I immediately started taking them as directed and after two days got really, really sick...I mean like bedridden for 3 days! My body felt totally fatigued and toxic! LUCKILY, I am very much aware of the Herxheimer Response which happens when the body is detoxifying and the released toxins (bad bacteria) are being killed off and released faster than the body can eliminate them. This response just means the Deep Immune is doing its job, killing off bad bacteria and replacing it with good bacteria. Don't let the Herx Response alarm you, as this would probably not happen to most people, but I had such a HUGE load of bad bacteria, that it brought on the Herx Response. After my body finished dumping all those toxins, I STARTED FEELING BETTER THAN I HAVE FOR YEARS! I will continue to use DEEP IMMUNE and intend to switch to Dr. Tobias brand of enzymes as well. I will be receiving a free bottle of this product from the company, but writing a review is NOT a requirement to get it. I just wanted to let people know that this product is probably a good addition for everyone's general health, but it can also be life changing for some people like me.

I’m taking a combination of Dr. Clark’s bug buster and Dr. Clark’s fungal fighter as well as Dr. Tobias’s deep immune probiotics and Naturelo Whole Food multivitamin for women. Dr. Clark’s pills are nice because they have no bad taste and it’s only one pill a day of each. I’ve long had a diet high in carbs and sugar and have suffered from leaky gut syndrome for years. My symptoms were: thick coating on my tongue, bad breath, fissures on the corners of my mouth, acne, dry skin, achy joints, and chronic constipation. As soon as I began taking these pills I noticed an improvement in my symptoms. They have completely cured my chronic constipation. For the last 8 years I averaged 4 bowel movements a month and I now go daily. The coating on my tongue, the fissures on the corners of my mouth, and my bad breath are gone. The aching in my joints has improved by 75%. All of these improvements were without any change in diet and happened within two weeks of starting the pills. I’m still having breakouts on my face but it’s also that time of month for me. Since I’m taking a combination of pills I’m not sure exactly which one is doing the trick but I will continue taking them as long as they are available because I have seen such good improvements. I’ve tried others that didn’t work at all and am so relieved I found Dr. Clark’s. The deep immune probiotics are capsule form, have no taste, and are small. They are two capsules daily. The vitamins are capsule form as well which is great because I hate those big horse pills other companies make that have that terrible vitamin taste. These have no taste and don’t make me nauseated. The only downfall is they are four capsules daily but, as an RN, I know you don’t actually need to take a multivitamin daily so I only take two a day just to give me a boost since my diet lacks variety. If you are looking up these pills you probably suffer from leaky gut as well. Diet has such a huge impact on health. For those of you who, like me, have a hard time giving up all the carbs and sugar, these pills at least help balance the overgrowth of bad bacteria/yeast. I hope they work as well for you as they have for me. Good luck!
