Prosynbiotic by Standard Process | Proven Probiotic Blend- Dr. Candy Review

By Dr. Candy Akers

Health care practitioners have been confidently recommending Standard Process Prosynbiotic for over 12 years. Prosynbiotic contains probiotics and prebiotics. Probiotics are those good bacteria which help us maintain a healthly digestive tract and a healthy immune system. Prebiotics are the starchy fibers that act as a food source for the good bacteria. This acts to boost the numbers of good bacteria located in our gut. 

Prosynbiotic has been developed by Standard Process based on the newest research available from all over the world. Researchers are proving the health benefits of these ingredients as well as the importance of gut health for our overall wellness.

This review is based on my personal and professional experience and is not influenced by the manufacturer. I have used this product multiple times over the past year. I've tried a handful of probiotic supplements, but I have really been impressed by the research behind this product that I have been reading in professional journals.

Check out my product summary and review below, and if you have any questions feel free to send those our way.

The following information is a summary and review based on Dr. Candy’s professional experience and recommendations. Any summary or statement has not been provided nor influenced by the manufacturer.

I was put on Omeprazole 2 years ago and could not get off of it no matter how I changed my diet! Within one week of taking this probiotic I was off Omeprazole and after 3 months I have stayed off!!! Please don’t throw your money away by buying grocery store or commercial pharmacy supplements and vitamins!!  No one could filter through the daily ‘next’ miracle cure and stay sane! STANDARD PROCESS is highly reputable and it works!

I have always had unpredictable bowel movements even though I follow a healthy diet with lots of fiber, juices and fruits.This is like a miracle, my body is regulated - no more surprises or running to department store bathrooms. Also, no pain or straining either - just like your body should work. It also helps with digestion - I used to be a real antacid junkie and now it is rare to need one. Highly recommend and my husband and I are real fans of Standard Process products.

I purchased my first bottle at the recommendation of my chiropracter to help with digestive issues. I used to get headaches about every other day, but I've only had a handful of headaches in the past few months since I started taking the ProSynbiotic. I also feel like my sinuses drain better, which is probably the reason for so fewer headaches. I take one every morning and then another with the evening meal. I definetely recommend these!
