It's helping with acid indigestion so far

By Jessica L, Florida, Verified Reviewer

I've never tried probiotic pills before because I was never sure if the bacteria would live in pill form to work. I decided to try ActivatedYou because I like that there is a good variety of bacteria in them and I totally got sucked into Maggie Q's 45-minute long video about her journey with probiotics. I did my research, and other pills out there seemed to be a similar price anyway.

I've been taking ActivatedYou for almost a month now, and I will say that the best benefit by far has been that it is helping with my acid indigestion/reflux issues! I've been taking Zantac every day for the last two years, and I was on Prevacid every day for four years before that. I went to doctors, got tests done, got an endoscopy, and all they could tell me was to take a PPI or acid reducer like Zantac every day. I don't have ulcers or any kind of hiatal hernia, so there's really nothing they could do to pinpoint the issue of why I get terrible acid every time I eat anything. Even a banana or something really easy to digest.

The first few days of taking ActivatedYou, I noticed right away that after I ate food, I didn't need to take a Zantac or Tums (depending on what I ate (if I eat pizza or anything super rich I will still need an acid reducer/neutralizer).

However, I also had bloating, cramping and diarrhea the first two days of taking them, so I went to every other day for a couple weeks. That made a big difference. The days I took ActivatedYou, I wouldn't have to take a Zantac (as long as I ate pretty healthy, which I usually do anyway) and the days I didn't, I would have to take Zantac still.

Now I'm taking them for 3 or 4 days in a row and then taking a day off. I'm still having bloating issues. I've read that it takes a few months for that to subside and I'm willing to stick it out. I was already having bloating issues before taking ActivatedYou, so I may as well keep taking it to see if it ever helps with that like Maggie has said it would. I'm really hoping it does!

I know there hasn't been a ton of research in the medical field on probiotics, but I wish more doctors would look into them and the relationship our gut has with the rest of our bodies. The American diet is terrible, and even if you start eating super healthy like I started to 10 years ago, it may already be too late for your gut. If putting more probiotics in my gut is going to help it with these digestion and bloating issues works, then I'm all for it! I haven't seen any other bad side effects, short-term, and I'm really hoping there are no bad side effects with long-term use either (like there is for PPIs and probably even with taking acid reducers forever).

I hope ActivatedYou continues to oversee the quality of their products and that I can continue to trust this brand of probiotics for a long time to come. I'm satisfied with my experience and investment in them so far.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Pretty good so far

By Emma Brophy, Nashville, TN, Verified Reviewer

I purchased this bottle after watching an Instagram ad. I have battled with digestive problems for the past five months and ended up in the hospital due to such a backed up colon. The day the probiotic arrived I came down with pneumonia and decided to take this the entire time I was sick. My energy was absolutely amazing. My body still felt run down, but my mind was clearer than ever. I have definitely noticed over the course of this month an increase in gas...a really big increase. I do feel I'm not as bloated as I used to be, but with regard to my digestive issues and regularity that has not changed. Just an increase in energy...and gas.

It worked!

By Chris Dooley, Beckemeyer, IL, Verified Reviewer

I wasn’t sure it was really working until a few days after I had finished my original 30-day supply and my stomach had blown up, and I had gas pains. I thought about what I ate the day before and couldn’t figure out what it could have been. Then it dawned on me and I told my husband I figured it out; I hadn’t been taking the ActivatedYou for three days because I was out and now I have this blow-up gassy pain again. It really did work when I was taking it. So here I am on the internet looking to order again, and this review came up.

It must be good

By Micah Smith, Harrison, OH, Verified Reviewer

I'm taking a few different supplements, and I can still tell a difference after taking it. So, I know that it works. Most people can't tell when they're using different supplements, so, after a week or two, I didn't take it one day, just to really feel the difference and I did.

First-time user

By Jennifer Breining, West Chicago, IL, Verified Reviewer

I am a first-time user to ActivatedYou Probiotic but also taking a probiotic consistently.

I have only been using the product for 30 days thus far. This is why I am giving it a 4-star rating since it seems to be working well, but I have not seen the full effects yet. It seems to be cleaning out my system as well as giving me radiant skin. However, I am also eating healthier through a Whole30 (Paleo) diet these past 30 days, so that is also helping with my results.

Thanks! I am excited to see continued positive results as I use my 90-day supply.

Better probiotic

By Dean Thomas, Wisconsin, Verified Reviewer

I have IBS and have been on a probiotic for 10+ years, which has been somewhat helpful to minimize my symptoms. I listened to the information about Advanced Restorative Probiotic and realized that I had most of the same symptoms Maggie Q was talking about and that maybe all probiotics were not the same. I've been taking the AR probiotic for almost a month, and I can say that I have less bloating and pain, which is fantastic. Very happy with the product.

Severe constipation

By Michael Kruger, California, Verified Reviewer

My severe constipation issues have gotten somewhat better. I still think I'm a work in progress. Slowly seems better. A ways to go.

I hope to lose some weight and stomach inches along the way. I'm about 35-40lbs overweight.

The first 30

By Lewis Tourtillotte, Eddington, ME, Verified Reviewer

Hello,

I just completed my first 30 days on the probiotic. After a few days of my system adjusting to it, I have no issues with the product.

I have not dropped any weight as yet, but that is ok as I do "feel" better overall. I cannot explain it any better than that I just feel better.

We will see what the next month brings.

Advanced Restorative Probiotic

By NyKee Monroe, Silverton, OR, Verified Reviewer

I am always doubtful of ordering products that purport to do this, that or the other thing as they have never worked for me. I took a chance on this company because I liked the feedback from Maggie Q. I got my first bottle and expected quicker results than I was getting but I gave it a month, and I finally saw some results. I have never been regular and have had a lot of stomach bloat. I am happy to keep taking the probiotic as it is working.

Helpful with antifungals

By Kirsten Alberts, Los Angeles, CA, Verified Reviewer

I like this product; it's definitely helping with regularity. The feeling of a balloon in my gut was still not going away though until I went on an antifungal. I think it's important to do both or people may get discouraged with the probiotic and think it's not helping. In my experience, taking antifungals is the fastest way to see improvements with the probiotic. I also love the continuous correspondence with their customers. It feels like they genuinely care about how we're doing and that's important to me because they're not just out to take money from us, they're here to help us feel better.

First month

By Kaye W., Clear Lake, IA, Verified Reviewer

I have been on this probiotic for a month and have noticed quite a difference. I have been very pleased so far. The emails have been nice too asking how things are going. I plan on continuing to use this product and would recommend it to anyone. I like the notifications about the shipments, so I know to watch for it.

Lessen the bloat

By Mary L., North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

I will say that I believe the unexpected bloating that would occur after meals have definitely gone down about 90%. I feel more regulated and I feel slimmer. Last week I had been under a lot of stress. For several days I had that funny feeling in my throat that I was going to get a really nasty cold. But I never got a bad sore throat feeling the whole time, and the funny feeling went away! I truly believe that taking care of my gut helps my immune system immensely! Thank you!

Advanced Restorative Probiotic comments

By Danny J., Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Verified Reviewer

Hello All. I have been taking this probiotic for almost a month now, about 25 days. I was taking another probiotic before this. My reason for taking probiotics in the first place was because of bloatedness and feeling tired throughout the day and slow bowels.

I am fairly fit, I play soccer, I am 40 years old, I am not a health freak and watch what I eat, but also at times don't. If it helps I am 6'3" and weigh 215 lbs.

With the probiotics my bowel movements are daily, I might miss a day once in a while. Previously my bowel movements were once every two days on average, sometimes once in three days.

I currently feel I am not as tired during the day or after I eat lunch and not drinking as many coffees as I did. I switched to more decaf in the afternoon if I feel like a coffee. These have all been improvements.

One issue which still exists is that I still am getting bloated. In the morning when I wake up, I am ok, but throughout the day as I eat, I get bloated. Not sure if this is the type of review you were looking for, but this is my current status and how the product is working for me.

In addition, I would say I think the price is a bit high, but because I am from Canada, the exchange rate doesn't help out.

My time with ActivatedYou

By Raymond C., California, Verified Reviewer

As of this writing, I am down to my last 2/3 capsules. I am not sure how I would or am supposed to feel after 30 days of using ActivatedYou.

What I noticed the most is the consistent regularity of my bowel movements. Especially, after a meal (possibly my body moving unneeded things out). My bowel movements were regular, however, while using ActivatedYou, the movements were almost like clockwork.

Progress

By Kathryn M., Moore, OK, Verified Reviewer

I decided to try the ActivatedYou Advanced Restoration Probiotic as an additional step in reaching my health goals. I have carried extra weight most of my life. I have been active with running events yet despite my cardio activities and nutritional choices, I continue to carry the weight. I decided to try the product and add strength training to my daily routine. I am in my 50s and my efforts have been complicated by reaching this stage of life. My expectations for adding this product have been giving my system an advantage of processing foods more effectively to result in more energy throughout the day and allowing my body to burn fat rather than store it.

I have been using the product for 30 days. My body is still adjusting to the addition of good bacteria in my system. I am still experiencing gas and boating. However, I have experienced some positive changes so far. Recently I noticed feeling energized without the benefit of caffeine and I noticed a significant reduction in cravings for simple carbs and sugary foods. I expect to have more positive changes to come.

Being a dancer using ActivatedYou

By Roxanne Y., Brooklyn, NY, Verified Reviewer

I'm a professional freelance dancer living in Brooklyn, New York. I've been dancing since I was eight years old and I want to continue dancing for a long time that my body would allow me. My health is very important to me and keeping up with the demands of working with the body weekly means that I need to feed it the right way.

I know that everybody is different and using ActivatedYou probiotics will show results differently. I have that low abdominal "gut" problem that Maggie Q had mentioned she once had. When she said that it went away using this formula of probiotics, I told myself I wanted to invest in it as well for my well being. Little changes are happening, and I do see my face getting a little clearer from the acne that was caused by stress from working retail. I decided to change my diet from being a pescatarian to being a vegetarian just two days ago, so maybe my progress with using ActivatedYou will speed up just a little. I know in the long haul this was a good choice for me to invest in for the rest of my life.

Company Response from Chloe Lee

Jun 4, 2018

Hi Karina, my name is Chloe with ActivatedYou. I want to thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for giving us your feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that you had this experience. Our customer’s experience is our number one priority, and I’m so sorry to hear that your experience was not a reflection of this. We absolutely would not subject a customer to order a product that they did not wish to order. That would be highly unethical.

I take these reviews very seriously, so I will look into this matter immediately. Please email me at chloe@activatedyou.com, and I would love to further discuss your experience and begin a refund process for you immediately. Again, I am so sorry for the frustration and miscommunication we have caused. I look forward to hearing from you and making this right!

Surprisingly not bad

By Reza F., San Francisco, CA, Verified Reviewer

I was sold based on their advertisement video. I’ve been dealing with constipation issues for years. I was overprescribed antibiotics, and my gut has never been the same. My only complaint with this product is it has Magnesium Stearate. Although I’ve had a positive experience, my go-to probiotic from Premier Research Labs works just as well, without any expedients. If they take out the Magnesium Stearate, I would be a loyal customer.

Pretty good results for first month, so trying for a second month

By Megan A., Minneapolis, MN, Verified Reviewer

I struggle with IBS and have for the last 15 years. For the most part, I can keep it at bay with appropriate diet choices and stress reduction. However, my monthly cycles always bring on horrible bouts of it that I can’t control since it is also hormonally induced. I wanted to see if this would help during those times. I am happy to say that during my monthly cycle for this first month’s use of the probiotic, I had greatly reduced IBS symptoms - almost nonexistent. I did have a bout with IBS about four days after starting the probiotic, but I am crediting that to having just gotten in my system. So I am willing to try it out now for a second month to see if the results are consistent. With the exception of that instance right after starting the probiotic, I have had no other flare-ups. If this continues to work, I will be a customer for life and will upgrade my review.

Restorative Probiotic

By Renazilze H., New York, Verified Reviewer

I can only write a review about the two weeks I started taking the probiotic.

As a middle age woman, I realized for the past few years that as long as I ingested “FOOD” no matter the kinds, it caused my abdomen to be severely bloated and gassy. The majority of the time, I feel very uncomfortable and eat less to prevent those symptoms, which only aggravated my conditions by causing me more gas.

A few months back, I saw the commercial on television and I watched it because Maggie Q is one of my favorite actresses when she played Nikita; I love her toughness.

I decided to try the formula, although I was a bit skeptical since I am taking blood pressure medications. However, I am happy to say that my bloated stomach is feeling much better after not even two weeks. Thank God!

I am new to this product, however, I did notice a change right away in terms of my energy level and less bloatedness in my stomach. I like the fact that it is only one pill once a day.

My experience with ActivatedYou

I ordered my first bottle and I noticed after taking it for two weeks that my mood felt more positive. I am sleeping better at night. I am just noticing the probiotic effect happening, but I have always had a problem with constipation, but finding myself feeling much better in that area.

Finally watching the scale tick down

By Amanda P., North Huntingdon, PA, Verified Reviewer

I have taken probiotics sporadically in the past, usually just to combat antibiotics. I have been on a cycle of trying to lose weight and then gaining 10 pounds after every "diet." I had my thyroid tested, did a sleep study, and nothing indicated any medical reason for my weight gain and inability to lose weight. With the ActivatedYou, I am actually losing weight. Not like crazy infomercial weight loss, but at one month out, with normal healthy eating and moderate exercise, the scale is actually moving south. Previously, it just kept creeping up and up and up. I’m motivated to see how the next two months pan out.

Works as advertised

By Darren S., El Centro, CA, Verified Reviewer

I'm just starting my second month, so keep that in mind. I wanted to try this because my stomach/abdomen routinely hardens up and can be very uncomfortable - distention (at least that's my diagnosis, getting my local doctor to agree is another matter). Anyway, I wanted to try the Advanced Restorative Probiotic to help flush/cleanse my system. So far, so good, I have fewer days of discomfort than I did before taking it. I imagine I'd have better results if I ate better, but I wanted to see if it would help if I did nothing else but add this little pill to my daily routine. I am pleased, and now I'm ready to start eating healthier so that I can experience even better results.

Good results!

By Lori M., Sacramento, CA, Verified Reviewer

I have used many other probiotics during the last couple of years, and have been happy with the results I’ve had from this product. I think it makes a difference that there are so many more "good" bugs in here than in other formulas. I’ve suffered from leaky gut syndrome, with tons of gas and bloating and this product helped reduce, and usually completely relieve my suffering. I will defiantly be signing up for the auto-ship program!

Feel better

By Emi S., New York, Verified Reviewer

I didn’t feel it at the beginning, but I feel better and lighter after two weeks! I have had a problem for a long time - I get heavy, my belly feels always full, but after two weeks I feel like it works if I keep taking these pills.

This bloated belly problem started about a year ago. I thought I was sitting down all the time or I was eating too much. I tried everything what I can to fix because it was really painful. Every day I feel like I feel heavy and tired. I feel like I gained weight and my belly didn’t feel good. But I think it started to feel better now.
