Product Reviews of Sustenex with Ganeden-BC30, Probiotic, 30 Capsules
Product Review: Sustenex Probiotics
Summary: 4 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
To preface this review, I'd like to note that I'm not a sufferer of any digestive disorder or related illness, so my use of Sustenex's probiotic capsules was not intended to treat or improve a specific condition. In light of this, I'm dealing with Sustenex's claims that the product may improve the digestive and immune health of anyone who takes it.
This package contains 30 capsules, enough for one month of recommended once-a-day use. As the product's brochure (and the Amazon product page) touts, one capsule of Sustenex contains more active cultures than yogurt, which is good news. There are lots of health sources that point to the health and immune system benefits of active cultures that live in yogurt (the SuperFoods Rx book is one of them). When your body and digestive tract react to and deal with the bacteria in yogurt, it's kind of like a "workout" to keep your immune system sharp, so when a really nasty bug comes your way, your immune system can either defeat it outright, or deal with the infection more quickly and at less of a cost to your health. So, Sustenex's "Ganaden-BC30" active cultures should be very good for the user's digestive health and immune system.
Why only 3 stars? After taking this supplement for a month, I really didn't notice any difference (good or bad) in my digestive health or generally in my immune system. It's not that I think the product didn't work--I'm a firm believer that long-term health and immune system function are based on choices that you make on a day-to-day basis, the effects of which are cumulative, not based on a wonder pill that changes your body instantly. For all I know, Sustenex contributed greatly to my health, there's just not really a way for me to tell, which definitely affects what I write to you, the review reader. If you want a product that will magically prevent you from ever getting sick and prevent you from ever having an upset stomach or gas, Sustenex will disappoint you greatly (and I don't know what supplement will actually meet your expectations!). If you believe probiotics can benefit your life in a slightly less quantifiable way and are interested in taking a capsule, Sustenex seems like a good choice to me. I really can't bring myself to rate the product 5 stars, though, because I didn't see any direct, causal relationship between the state of my health and taking the capsules. If you do buy Sustenex, I recommend taking lots of water with each capsule--a couple times I had pretty foul burps about an hour after taking the capsule, perhaps because I didn't send it through my digestive system with enough water and speed!
Product Review: Sustenex is a must!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using this product for over a year now and have not been sick all winter, not even a cold. I can't say enough about this product! This is an immune system booster, quit taking the anti-bioitics which really harm your natural immunities and start using this product. I have not had to take an anitbiotic in a year and typically it was 4-5 times a year. This does work and is a natural way to bring your body's immune system back to its natural state of warding off infectios.Product Review: Sustenex probiotic

Such a great product - was disappointed when our local Target stopped carrying it, so tried another type and was no where near as effective. Glad to be able to order it online.Product Review: Sustenex saved me...

I've been taking sustenex for 2 years (since July 2008) and I will be on Sustenex for the rest of my life. It has made me whole again after years of intestinal/digestive issues that were beginning to ruin my life. I love this product.Product Review: Terrific Probiotic!

*****
I was pleasantly surprised that this product would be so helpful for me with regards to my digestive problems, which cleared up when I took Sustenex. I take probiotics for general health, and honestly didn't expect to see any kind of dramatic results. There are so many positive things about Sustenex that I hardly know where to start.
Unlike some other probiotics, it doesn't need to be refrigerated. Big plus.
The Ganeden-BC30 (the mix/strain of probiotic bacteria used in Sustenex) is highly regarded and is recommended by Dr. Andrew Weil (although he has his own brand of probiotics); it is coated so that it survives stomach acid and bile and makes it to the small intestine. Thus, you are not throwing your money away, but spending it effectively on probiotics that will be useful. Another huge plus.
Sustenex delivers more than ten times the live cells of probiotic bacteria than yogurt! It boosts your immune system and strengthens your digestive system. Sustenex "assists the digestive process in the final absorption of vitamins, minerals, and water." As we age, we need probiotics even and Sustenex is one effective way to get them. It has been tested a lot, and seems to be more standardized, probably because of the Ganeden-BC30, and I find this a big plus too.
You only need to take ONE pill each day, because Sustenex is so effective.
I'm a very satisfied customer and will continue to take Sustenex. I was sent a complimentary box as part of the Amazon Vine program, but will gladly pay for it next month...and the next...and the next!
Highly recommended.
