“I came across this complex after a lot of research and found it to be particularly relevant for people with Irritable bowel syndrome and those that have been through one or more courses of antibiotics. It turns out the two things often go together, unless you have allergy to a specific type of food, or drink (too much) alcohol. If on top of that you have fed harmful bacteria with animal protein, unhealthy fats and sugar in abundance and starved probiotics of the vegetables, grains and fruits they need, you are very likely to need one of these complexes. Most of the main ingredients I was looking for in a probiotic blend were recommended in the article The Best Probiotics for IBS, such as: Lactobacillus plantarum - as Lactobacillus plantarum Lp299, for abdominal pain, intestinal gas, bloating, and the sensation of incomplete emptying Lactobacillus acidophilus – as Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, which has been found to help with abdominal pain, bloating and inflammation Bifidum bacterium infantis - as Bifidobacterium infantis 35624, which helps to decrease abdominal pain, bloating, gas, constipation and inflammation in the gut after an infection or antibiotic treatment. Bifidum bacterium lactis - as Bifidobacterium Lactis BB-12 For IBS-C (constipation) and Bifidobacterium Lactis Bi-07 For IBS-M (mixed) Others I have found about in different online sources: The yeast Saccharomyces Boulardii – as it has been shown to be relevant in the treatment of IBS-D (Diarrhoea) and Postinfectious IBS (after a course of antibiotics)- https://www.verywellhealth.com/probiotics-for-ibs-8751150 Lactobacillus rhamnosus – as the Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG), which has beneficial effects on IBS symptoms (IBS-C and IBS-M) and has also shown promising results for seasonal and food allergies - https://bmcmicrobiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12866-021-02178-2 - “LGG association reduced intestinal mucosal expression levels of inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1α, IL-1β and TNF-α.”. This strain has reduced symptoms in asthmatic children with allergic rhinitis - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3784923/ Lactobacillus gasseri – as it may help enhance immune function, aid in digestion and reduce weight and belly fat The Benefits of Probiotic Lactobacillus Gasseri Bifidum bacterium bifidum – as Bifidobacterium bifidum MIMBb75 - Randomised clinical trial: Bifidobacterium bifidum MIMBb75 significantly alleviates irritable bowel syndrome and improves quality of life--a double-blind, placebo-controlled study - PubMed So, even though the price is considerably above market average, with £1.23 per intake as compared to an average of circa £ 0.93, if the strains provided are the ones I am looking for in order to address the symptoms I am looking to control, I am happy to pay the extra price. Also, this is a comprehensive formula with high concentration of each species. My main criticism would be that the brand does not identify the strains specifically used on this formula, as there are several, say, for example, Lactobacillus rhamnosus (around 100), Lactobacillus acidophilus has some 20 + strains, etc., and you want to be sure to be acquiring the one(s) you need. Only last week I temporarily had to put a halt on taking this supplement due to a period of incredible stress that exacerbated my histamine levels, and since some of these strains help to produce this hormone (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG - https://bmcmicrobiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12866-021-02178-2, Lactobacillus helveticus, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus Bulgaricus ) I am giving my body time to deal with the overload before carrying the Gut Love course, but I intend to resume it within a few weeks.”

“I can’t obviously speak for anyone else but unfortunately these did not agree with me so had to cancel subscription. I had high hopes ss read good reviews just not for my delicate belly. Otherwise all very satisfied with Naked Pharmacy”

“I have only been taking this for 2 months.. I am used to taking probiotics, but Gut Love is new to me. I chose it because of the Lactobacillus strains it has and the quantity, my research implied that these strains are v good for female health of vagina and bladder. I hope it is true..... I am happy to continue using Gut Love.”

“I am now well into my second month on the gut love -prebiotic, and I feel they are making a difference to the way my body is absorbing nutrients from my diet , as I feel I positive shift in energy levels . I am aged 54 and peri menopausal, and I am always looking for those little things that may have a supportive role on my health as I transition through to menopause. Peri menopause can have a significant affect on our gut microbiome , and it can affect how we feel , our energy levels , our sleep patterns , our immune system etc , and so having been recommended this brand , I decided to see if I would feel any positive benefits from taking them . Because I have been impressed with these , I’ve also started on the marine magnesium, and I am super impressed with how they have improved my sleep quality from the very first night of taking them .”
