Visbiome GI Care
This is my favorite probiotic that I have used. I use it daily.
No issues
Will buy again. Shipping was great. It stayed cold. All good all around.
It has helped my elderly cat with his gut issues
Prescribed Visbiome by my doctor. It has helped me treat chronic constipation better than other medications and home remedys
So far I am feeling a little better. Less pain in my lower abdomen but bowel movements haven't changed very much.
I will keep taking them for now. Thanks.
I had many tests and undiagnosed gut symptoms. After taking visbiome consistently for a year, my gut symptoms have cleared up! And I can finally, for the first time in my life, eat beans without gas or bloating. I hope visbiome never changes or goes away. It has tremendously improved my quality of life and gut issues.
I stumbled upon visbiome when my vet recommended it for my dog with IBD. It didn't help my dog, but since I ordered the human version and didn't want to waste them, I decided to take them. I wish more doctors would recommend visbiome for undiagnosed gut symptoms because it has helped more than I ever expected it to.
I have been using this probiotic since it was introduced under another label. I was careful to follow its reintroduction under its current label to continue the original formulary. I have the HLA DQ2.5 allele. My gut is unpredictable - I use Visbiome to maintain balance. I ramp up my dosage after antibiotics or disruptive gut episodes. Visbiome has been the solution that works for me I often share Visbiome with acquaintances who share their gut stories- it has worked for them as well!

We have a Jack Russell who has had tummy troubles his whole life. He is 11 years old. Our vet recommended Visbiome because it is one of the only probiotics that is actually helpful to Tucker's gut and will actually stay alive until it gets to his intestines. Well the vet was right! Tucker has been on Visbiome everyday for about 3 months and what a difference in him. He eats better, his breath smells better and he is better overall! Thanks Visbiome for manufacturing a product that helps my fur baby live his best life!!
My dog has issues with spitting up often after eating. Since using this she has not has that problem. Her previous human took her to a traditional vet that did many tests on her to see why she was doing this. My holistic vet recommended this years ago for another pit that I had so I figured I would try it. Very happy that I did. I highly recommend it.
Our Finn loves how he feels when he takes his Visbiome! Thank you for keeping our big guy on track
My first introduction to Visbiome was from my Vet. She prescribed it for my dog's gut problems, which it fixed quickly. I thought I would use it on myself as well and the results have been great. We both take it daily.
I started using these probiotics about one year ago after being advised I may have to have internal removal.However since I started cleaning up my intake of the toxins that are everywhere in our society’s food stream using these products my body has undergone an amazing transformation restoring my own physiology (+-) 25 year back in time from all the detoxing I have experienced, this is a product I am graetful and thankful for...
My Vet recommended this for our Yorkie who has IBM and 1 capsule a day works great! I open the capsule and empty the contents on his food which makes it so easy to give. 1 capsule a day is part of his regular regiment he has to keep his disease at bay. I can even use it for myself when I have my own need. It's a bit expensive, but worth it!
I have tried many probiotics, but Visbiome GI Care is on a completely different level. Within days, I noticed a huge improvement in my digestion, less bloating, and overall gut comfort. The potency is unmatched, and you can truly feel the difference. I ordered it all the way from Saudi Arabia, and it arrived in perfect condition thanks to the excellent packaging. This product deserves every star – highly recommended for anyone serious about gut health!
I originally heard about Visbiome from our vet. She recommended it for our paralyzed cat, who had been having chronic UTIs. It was a total game-changer for her: she went from being diagnosed with one within weeks of getting over the last, to going well over a year without any issues at all. It worked so well for her I thought I'd try it myself, and I am so glad I did! I'd had over 20 food intolerances for about a dozen years, many of them moderate, which made me feel tired and awful. They made eating any dairy, bananas, eggs, etc. a miserable experience, so meal planning and going out to eat was a challenge.
I began taking Visbiome regularly about 18 months ago, and I quickly realized that I could tell if I'd forgotten to take it the night before from how I felt in the morning. When I take it, I feel more awake, less achy and tired. About 6 months ago I did my yearly food intolerance test to see if anything changed, and I couldn't believe the difference! It showed that I only have 7 intolerances now, all of them mild enough that I don't feel symptoms at all.
Needless to say, our whole family is taking Visbiome now, including all of our pets!
I’m not recive my medicine yet. You have delivered to the wrong address. why do you keep making me contact the delivery person? why do i have to waste my time on that? in the warehouse that is your job? They left ghe medicine in the front ò the house but that is not my house
After a lifetime of symptoms of IBS I am feeling better and I think this is part of the solution!
Having to have my gallbladder removed due to food poisoning, I had to completely change my lifestyle.
Watching my diet and eliminating certain foods with the use of Visbiome has considerably help my indigestion and bloating.
I can't speak more highly of Visbiome. It was first introduced to me after my dog got really ill - it was for him. This was before they made one specifically for pets. He was very sick with inflammatory bowel disease and was struggling with flare ups every few weeks. I got him on Visbiome and he started to improve! He's doing great! He gets a packet on his dinner every day and he stays pretty healthy! He's on other meds, but when I mess up as a dog mom and run out of Visbiome for a week, I can tell! I tried a different brand, but it wasn't as good! So we went back to Visbiome and snap - he got better again!
My Italian Greyhound Dante has IBS and your product has made it possible for him to live a normal life in conjunction with a few other meds. Thank you so very much.
We had a little blind 3 yr old rescue kitty we adopted who suddenly started having diarrhea that we couldn’t control. Vet said kidney disease but I felt the kidney disease was actually because of the uncontrolled ibs. Vet recommended trying this before steroids since his kidneys were struggling. This worked!! 3 days on this he started to have normal poops! Now I keep it on hand because it helps the toxins out of his compromised kidneys. Before at the vets and after a couple months on this stuff! he looks amazing!
Visbiome has helped my IBS. I appreciate a probiotic that I can use that replenishes the good bacteria without any side effects. I was using a steroid that helped but was hard on my body with side effects that could lead to diabetes and osteoporosis. It came in a well insulated box with frozen ice blocks. It had a temperature monitoring sensor to guarantee that proper temperature is maintained for the probiotic. The thing is I’ve kept the sensor out in 80 degrees and it never changed from white to red which it is supposed to I assume. So I wonder how effective it is. Overall I recommend but I still have periodic issues with IBS but much less than without it
I have taken this faithfully for 5 years now as prescribed by my doctor, I have been mostly IBS symptom free for all of that time, I take 450 billion packet once per day and if i do have a flare I take it twice. Because of this supplement I have been able to have a life free of wondering where a toilet is if i leave the house. This has done more to help me than any prescription medicine I have taken over the years. If you got IBS this supplement will help you more than you can imagine.
My gastrointestinal doc gave me a sample box of Visbiome GI Care to try. Within a couple of days it had worked wonders on me! It settled down my lower intestinal area and I feel so much better. This probiotic can’t be compared to others. It works.
I still have to go in for tests for a definite diagnosis (IBS) to my issues but it has eased my discomfort.
It does need to be kept cold. I recently went on a trip where I did not have access to a fridge. I bought a mini pouch (Frio cooling product) with a cold pack that lasts 40 hours and can be reactivated with water. It was perfect and I recommend it when traveling.
Easy to use and to take. It keeps my immune system in check.
By the way my dog also is taking Visbiome Vet, for his GI issues, I can see great results very quickly!
Great product, quick results!!
I've dealt with GI issues for so many years, during which time I have tried numerous potential remedies. I finally found relief from IBS/GI symptoms and issues, when I started taking Visbiome. It is an absolute must have for me; always in my refrigerator.
I ordered (4) of the small Visbiome packs and they came in an excessively large box, big enough to fit a suitcase. Tough to support a company who has no environmental awareness, despite an effective product.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is certainly not the experience we want for our customers. You should have received our smaller recycle box with your order. This is a mistake that was made the during packaging of your order. We will definitely bring this to the attention of our distribution center manager.
