VLS#3 Is Amazing, But EXPENSIVE, Help!
I've been throwing down $60/month on VSL#3 capsules. Each capsule has over 100 billion live probiotic bacteria and it has to be stored in the fridge. I take two a day. They're the best probiotic I've found, but that's $720/year!!!
Have you heard of anything else out there as good as VSL#3... that's CHEAPER???
Thanks!!!
I've heard COSTCO carries it even in the powdered form. May be less expensive there...or maybe if you could get your doc to prescribe it and your insurance would cover some of the cost? I'm totally sold on VSL#3; got have it!

I use a 1/2 teaspoon in the AM and a 1/2 teaspoon in the afternoon. I keep the partial packet in a insulated cool lunch bag during the workday. SO far, so good.

It totally eliminates gas but I experimented with the dose to get it right for me.

Try VSL#3DS it contains 900 billion CFU/sachet, it is RX only but in the end it comes out to be less than VSL#3 due to its strength. I have been taking it for more than 2 years....yes it is amazing.
If you have a specific question for me, PM me or I will not see it, as I don't check responses on the forums and don't have anything forwarded to my email.
Unfortunately, I just started really getting into the higher dose of probiotic. My benefit I see is my skin, acne, is much better.
However what benefit you get with such a high dose of probiotic? Now I would love to eliminate the gas I get in the evening, I guess from the accumulation of carbs..
Plus now that I am taking the higher dose of probiotic 25 billion, and 14 billion different brand, I tend to now always run to the bathroom.
However, when I take 25 billion twice a day I tend to get constipated.
