TeraGanix Organic Liquid Probiotic (30 Day Supply), Gut Health Supplement, Dr. Formulated for Adults & Kids, Improves Immune Function, Digestion & Nutrient Absorption, 6 Mil CFU/ml (16 fl oz)

I like it SO much that I'm on my second bottle now. I've found this product to be gentle and effective. The biggest thing I've noticed is that it makes me very regular.I don't think most of us get enough fiber in our diet. That doesn't seem to matter here. Without being too graphic (I hope), Pro EM-1 seems to help clean out the colon gently and effectively without causing watery stools or diarrhea. On the contrary, the BMs are well-formed and move through just fine. I will make one caveat: do drink enough water or you might experience some drier stools. I'm not saying to drink if you aren't thirsty or to over drink, just to make sure you do drink water.The instructions are to take this with a meal so that both the probiotic and the food go into the small intestine together. These probiotics seem to help the body digest the food. One of the probiotic strains in this blend is saccharomyces; it is not one you will find in most probiotic blends, but my doctor recommended supplementing with it. Glad I did.Lastly, I like that this product is shelf-stable and in a dark bottle. Seeing it out makes it is easy for me to remember to take it.

I can't review the effect of this yet but wanted to respond to regards to the cost. If you are just taking this and not using it to brew a second bottle at home you are paying twice the price you should. I don't think reviewers realize that one bottle needs to be brewed at home from the "starter". The cost is really $22 not $44, and two months of product, not just one. How? These are live culture you can brew on your own by using the bottle of PROEMI you purchase (think: sour dough bread). The company TeraGanix tells you how on its homepage. Here is a summary, but I encourage you to google the page itself for more info:"EM•1® microbial products can be grown one time for economical purposes. This "growing" or "brewing" process is called Activation. It does not mean the microbes in EM•1® are not active; they are. It is just a term EMRO developed years ago. Activation involves taking one part EM•1®, 1 part molasses, and 20 parts water. Numbers can be rounded up or down a bit according to the size of the container and are not crucial to the outcome of the final product.EquipmentAs with beer and wine, the colder the temperature, the longer the fermentation takes to complete. And, the process is done without air. Any local home brewing supplier will have the materials you will need to successfully activate. These items include airlocks, carboys, tubing, etc. Airlocks and other brewing equipment can be found online through many home brewing suppliers or at a local home brew supply. If you want to keep it really simple, you may use a clean soda bottle with a screw on top. These bottles are very good because they can take a tremendous amount of pressure and can be found virtually anywhere.Use a clean airtight plastic bottle or container or large tank with screw-on lid.Use a container about the volume of the recipe being made. Avoid containers that have large air space as the excess air tends to interfere with fermentation and do not use containers with loose lids such as 5-gallon pails.Be prepared to either make an airlock or manually release the pressure on a daily basis.**Use only fresh, clean water. Tap water is fine (yes, even if chlorinated).Use blackstrap molasses. Avoid using beet molasses or corn syrup as they tend to spoil easily.DirectionsMix ingredients in the container. Check the initial pH with a pH meter or pH paper.Put on an airtight lid (preferably a screw on lid),Attach airlockFerment at room temperature for 3-5 days.Some time between days 3 and 5, remove the lid and check the pH of the liquid using a pH meter or pH paper. If the pH is 3.8 or below, allow the fermentation to complete for an additional 5-7 days.Toward the end of the fermentation, check the smell of the product. It should have some alcohol smell, some white flakes on it and look and smell similar to the original EM•1®. If all these are true, it is ready to use.Checking pHThe initial fermentation process takes roughly 3-5 days. During this time sugars are being digested by the microbes. As they do this, they produce various acids that cause the pH to drop. pH is the measurement of Alkalinity (bases) and Acidity (acids). You can easily measure this using some pH paper. The pH paper we sell has a perfect range for testing this. It goes from 3.0-5.5. (Electronic pH meters are sold through scientific companies; however, they require maintenance and calibration and can vary in readings between meters. If you choose to use an electronic meter, maintain it well and use the same meter every time.) The pH paper we sell is very accurate and consistent. There is a color chart on the side of the package that is used to gauge the pH. You generally do not start checking the pH until about 3-5 days after you mix and start the fermentation. However, if you would like to know the starting point and the finishing point, you can check the mixture before fermentation.When the pH of the solution drops to 3.8 or below and has rested at this pH for 5-7 days, the Activated EM•1 ® is ready to use. The target pH is 3.5.You will have about 45-60 days to use it at this point.**During the fermentation process, pressure builds up in the containers as the microbes digest the sugars. To avoid rupturing the container, "burp" it and reseal. Burping may have to be done one or more times per day. You may also use airlocks or blow off tubes similar to what is done in brewing wine or beer.STORAGEActivated EM•1® should be kept in an air-tight container to keep it anaerobic and used within 45-60 days after the pH drops below 3.8.Store Activated EM•1® at room temperature, 68ºF to 86ºF (20ºC-30ºC) out of direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not necessary.NOTESSpeed of fermentation: Usually larger batches ferment faster than smaller ones. Sometimes the pH drop will only take 24 hours. Usually we plan for the pH drop (below 3.8) to take about 3 days.Temperatures and seasonal changes in fermentation times: EM•1® likes warm conditions. Keep the material in a relatively warm area while it is fermenting. (for example, a cellar is too cool for it to ferment quickly.) In the winter, when the temperature is low, place the fermenting mixture somewhere to keep it warm. There is no need to incubate or heat the product as this actually tends to prevent the pH from dropping.Type of Molasses: Organic molasses tends to have some type of pH buffer in it, which sometimes prevents the fermentation process. You can add in an equal amount of vinegar (apple cider, wine, etc.) to the molasses to help break the pH buffer.Air causes the Activated EM•1® to spoil. This includes extra air space in the bottle. Be sure to leave as little airspace in the bottle as possible when fermenting.Try not to make more product than you can use within a month or two to avoid wasting product.If Activated EM•1® has a foul smell or the pH rises above 4.0, the solution is likely contaminated with something and should be discarded. This material is fine to pour into a long-term compost pile or down a household drain.What to do with your Activated EM•1®Now that you have some sweet smelling Activated EM•1, you've let it mature for 7-10 days after it reached 3.5, you need to start using it. Simply replace any of the application rates on our website with the "Activated EM•1®" you made. That's it!"

I decided to try it as a supplement and found my stomach growling for more food instead of me crashing to then eat and wait for my body and mind to come back to life. I’m a permaculture farmer out in the sun and wind all day most days. I noticed my skin start to get healthier. I inspected it under the microscope and found all the listed microbes are there. If that grosses you out look at yogurt under the microscope. I sprayed the leaves on everything I got growing and found the trichomes emerge that made the leaves almost velvety. Jalapeño leaves that are velvety! Leaf cutter bees have no problem cutting them tough. If your buying as supplement try mixing a tablespoon per gallon for your plants as well. It will also ferment and make bad smells go away in countless applications.

I felt the effects of the probiotic almost immediately when I started using it. It has a sour taste. I used it just before taking breakfast and for 3 days it cleaned my gut nicely before my system was seemingly back to normal. I said seemingly because after the 3 days, I no longer pass stool as regular. My tummy looks like it shedded a few pounds too. I have since purchased another for a friend. I am using the prebiotic every morning too.

Good product.

7/16 update. My breakouts came back!!. WHY DO YOU NEED SUGAR?With or without it still taste bad and Thats fine, just dont want sugar! The other ingredients are not necessary neither!Ive been taking this at night, since july/2023 about 13 days already.Few times I took it first thing in the morning. I have had diarrhea.....i stopped for 2 days...back to normal. Started and so did the diarrhea. It states to keep drinking until your stomach geta acclimated. Uhm.I think I'm going back to the other brand. That one didnt do any of this bad side-effects**.I bought this one because it was same day delivery vs 4 day delivery of the other brand.Yeah....i think it doesnt work for another reason.Comparing my skin reaction to this microbes drink. This doesnt clear my face. The other one cleared my face in a week.All Im saying this didnt work for me.*the other one is a Dr.****g brand.I get alot of comedone/easily irritation to hot weather....i would get hives on my face.It seems it was a leaky gut issue. DR. ***g product helped me more.This one product DID NOT WORK FOR ME.ALSO... This is my 2nd review. It appears the seller might had requestes my review to be removed.......
