Probiotics are essential to balancing the intestinal flora in the gut. Gut flora is often disturbed due to diet, an incorrect internal bodily pH or as the result of antibiotics and other toxins. When this happens, the bad bacteria in the gut can give rise to a host of infections and diseases of the bowel, gastrointestinal tract and bladder. One of these conditions that can arise is IBS. Diet and lifestyle also play a role in IBS symptoms, but a balanced gut helps keep the bowel regular and facilitates the adequate absorption of nutrients. Today, our review focuses on Pure Healthland Advanced Probiotic Gastrointestinal Support Non-GMO Probiotics Support for Men and Women.
Advanced Probiotic Gastrointestinal Support helps improve digestive health and relieves digestive pain. IBS sufferers would be familiar with the bloat, gas, cramps, constipation and diarrhea associated with this condition. Consequently, this product should be able to alleviate some or most IBS symptoms. The manufacturer claims that their probiotics also accelerate fat loss and improves energy levels.
Ingredients
- DE 111 (Bacillus Subtillis)
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus
- Lactobacillus casei
- Bifidobacterium longum
- Lactobacillus acidophilus
- Lactobacilus plantarum
- Bifidobacterium breve
This formula contains 5.75 billion organisms. It is a good culture count, although there are certain probiotics that have a slightly higher count. Lactobacillus acidophilus and all the strands in the lactobacillus family lower cholesterol, boost immunity and combat fatigue and aging. They also assist with fermentation in the gut and therefore aid with nutrient absorption. Bifidobacterium longum in particular increases the acidity of the digestive tract, which helps inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.
Together these probiotics should aid with the breakdown of foods in the gut and promote bowel regularity and/or reduce stool to their normal consistency so as to inhibit diarrhea, gas and stomach cramps.

Pure Healthland Advanced Probiotic Gastrointestinal Support Review – Conclusion
The culture count is high, although not the highest, and this probiotic formula contains some of the main strands of bacteria required for good digestive health. The guarantee is good, meaning the manufacturer has confidence in their product, which mostly gets good consumer reviews.
However, predicting what probiotics you need is a bit like predicting where you will find a needle in a haystack. Everyone as a different baseline of probiotics present in the gut, so it may not be these seven strands that need supplementing in your particular system. In addition, the product is produced in a factory which also handles soy, milk, wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish and crustacean. This means that there is a risk of contamination and if you have an allergy, it is best to avoid this probiotic. Finally, IBS treatment is a multi-prong affair – there usually is not magic cure. Dietary changes are usually also important, as is reducing the actual inflammation of the colon. This product does not contain any herbals to actually calm the colon itself.
