This stuff will not dissolve no matter what you do. Telling people to mix it in a drink is simply lying to the public. This is fraud. Call it false advertising or whatever you like. I feel embarrassed that I fell for this fake story.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Ron, I'm Aria from Gundry MD. I am so sorry to hear that you have experienced issues with dissolving Prebiothrive. Many customers have had success with adding Prebiothrive to their favorite smoothie. The blender has helped customers mix it evenly. We would absolutely never create false advertisements, that would be highly unethical and illegal. I am really sorry to hear that you feel this way about it. I would be more than happy to issue you a full refund. Please email me at Aria@Gundrymd.com, and I can do this for you right away. Take care!

I ordered one jar after the sales video as I am dealing with some gastritis issues and did not want to get back on PPI (proton pump inhibitor). On day 2, I noticed my stool started to harden and get dark. On day 3 (today), I was severely constipated, in much pain and was having hot flashes. I had gone to the ER. While at the ER I was finally able to have a bowel movement. The doctor asked if there was anything I had taken or eaten and the only item was Prebiothrive. He recommended I stay off of it and get back on PPI (proton pump inhibitor) for the gastritis issue.
Please be careful using this product. I don’t think I will take it for a while until I can do more research. I will also look to speak to someone at Prebiothrive for some possible explanation.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Well, that video works. I felt so inspired by Dr. Gundry that I ordered SIX containers. Half of our eight-person family was on antibiotics for strep throat, and I was looking forward to feeding the few good bacteria we had left. I immediately noticed my bowel movements change. Two weeks in I realized I hadn’t gone to the bathroom for days. Then my husband, who began the product after me because he was only finishing his antibiotics after me, mentioned having the same experience.
I hopped on here to see if anyone else experienced these side effects. Thankfully I hadn’t started any of the kids on the product. I couldn’t afford it when I ordered it and still can’t afford it, so I’m hoping for a smooth refund experience.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

The container clearly states 30 servings, but I only got 25 servings from the package. When I called customer service, they said nothing they can do. Even though their website clearly states 100% money back guarantee if not satisfied, there is still nothing they could do unless I purchased more product. Why would I purchase more with false advertising? I would not recommend to a friend. The product is basically fiber that helps you go.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Joanne! I'm Aria from Gundry MD. I am so sorry to hear that you did not receive a jar that contained the full 30 days of Prebiothrive. All of our jars should contain a 30-day supply with a leveled off scoop. I will look into this right away to further explore the issue. We do wholeheartedly stand by our 90-Day Money Back Guarantee, so I would be more than happy to issue you a full refund. Just email me directly at Aria@Gundrymd.com, and I can begin the refund process. I am so sorry for the frustration and miscommunication that we have caused, but I look forward to hearing from you and making this right. Take care!

I watched Dr. Gundry’s presentation and was sold because I’m into improving my health and my husband just had to take serious amounts of antibiotics. I immediately felt bloated, gas, and painfully uncomfortable. I had seen the ingredients online and thought no problem. After two servings, I read the container. Last thing it says “Contains: milk.” The doctor claimed no allergens. I’m allergic to milk. If you are allergic to milk, this product will be painful.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I ordered the prebiotics and took it one time with the Vital Reds. I got so miserably sick that I cried! Not even gas and bloating, just completely miserable! Irritable, almost like restless leg syndrome, sick to my stomach and super, super tired. I was so miserable that I would not recommend this to my worst enemy! It's not worth it. No one should ever feel that way.

I thought the video certainly got you thinking (which, of course, is the point). I ordered, I paid, I consumed. I noticed not a thing. No difference in anything. Could it be because I really don't have any cravings? I don't know, but I would not recommend it.

I couldn’t be more disappointed with this product and am disappointed with myself for getting suckered into purchasing it. It does not dissolve in any liquid I put it in. No amount of mixing or shaking helps. All I'm left with is a sludgy, undrinkable paste that needs to be chewed up to try and get it down.
I (stupidly) bought a whole case of this crap, which I will end up throwing away.
Don’t waste your money.

Hi Lisa, my name is Aria with Gundry MD. I’m sorry to hear that this was your experience. Many of our customers have had success blending PrebioThrive into their morning smoothies or using a shaker bottle to help dissolve the supplement. I would also recommend doubling the liquid if you prefer a thinner consistency. Please feel free to email me at Aria@gundrymd.com and I will be more than happy to issue you a full refund, just for giving our product a try!

It will not mix in any kind of water, blender, coffee cup, hot or cold, anything. So right from the start, it will not mix, so how can it do its job? You have mix it so it can do its job. It will not mix.

Hi Joe, my name is Aria with Gundry MD. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The best solution we can recommend is ensuring that there is enough liquid and blending it into your morning smoothie, or using a shaker bottle to help the powder dissolve. I hope this helps! Keep us updated and don’t hesitate to reach out to me at aria@gundrymd.com.

I was disappointed to discover that this product contains milk as that is a deterrent for those of us who are lactose intolerant. Additionally, the advertisement states it has no taste; however, it does. The texture and flavor taste like dirt, and I can't quite get past that so will be returning it for a refund.

Hi Carla, my name is Aria with Gundry MD. I’m very sorry to hear that you do not enjoy the taste of Prebiothrive. Some customers have enjoyed mixing Prebiothrive into their morning smoothie. In regards to Prebiothrive containing milk, our website lists all ingredients and is accessible to our customers. I’ve attached the link for your convenience.

The only reason I am giving this 1 star is that you can't give it "0" stars. The product was terrible, it was lumpy and didn't mix well with water. It tastes terrible and there were no noticeable improvements. When I contacted customer service for my "100% money back guarantee" only yo find out that I was going to have to pay return shipping to get my refund or they offered a 40% (not 100%) refund. This is unethical and dishonest selling! I have asked to be contacted by management with no response. Very poor customer service and shady sales tactics!
