Probiotics
Probiotics- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about GNC Ultra Probiotic Complex 25:
Four years ago, my health took a nosedive and I had 3 operations over the course of 6 weeks. I became anemic and developed ulcerative colitus in a location(I was told) would not benefit from medication. From that time on and together with 12 more operations, I was miserable and could hardly go out of the house for any length of time. I was in GNC looking for heart health products and saw this product. I decided to try it out. I took it for 30 days with no changes. I was going to quit but I had another package (50% off) and when I started the second package, all of a sudden my colon probems stopped. I even tried milk with no ill effects and am now drinking about a half gallon a week. I talked to my doctor and he said that I'm not cured and should expect flare-ups, but so far I've gone three months with no problems. BTW, I gave up corn on the cob many many years ago and over the last three weeks have gone through about 18 ears.
