Does not dissolve and you CAN taste it.

By Jane, USA, Verified Reviewer

I bought six jars of Prebiothrive and signed up for the auto ship to get the best deal after watching Dr. Gundry's hour-long video.

I do believe the product has helped me, but I still have concerns. The products came in very large bottles that were only half full. To me, this is deceiving. That was the first red flag. I don't understand the company's wasteful practice nor do I care for the space they take up on my shelf.

Dr. Gundry said in the video that the product completely dissolves and you cannot taste it. Not true at all! Red flag #2. It never completely dissolves, even after 35 minutes of stirring and letting it sit (I've tried it in water and juice), and then repeating that over and over.

There is also a very definite taste - Red flag #3. I have gotten used to it but didn't think I was going to be able to after the first few times. It also has a very distinct odor, but I have gotten used to that as well.

While I think it is helping to settle my gut, I do feel deceived and very disappointed with claims about the product that Dr. Gundry made himself. To be honest, it makes me question everything else he says about his products.

(If there is a response from the Gundry staff, please address the claims. We all know we can send the products back for a full refund if we are unhappy, minus shipping costs.)

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Company Response from Gundry MD

Feb 22, 2018

Hi Jane, I’m Aria from Gundry MD. Thank you for taking the time to leave such a thorough review of your experience with Prebiothrive so far. I am so happy to hear that you are experiencing positive results while using Prebiothrive! This is great news! I would like to address some of the points you made in your review. First, I am so sorry to hear that you did not like the size of the container that Prebiothrive came in. The size of the Prebiothrive jar is standard for this amount of powder. We want to make sure that customers are not wasting or dropping excess powder while scooping Prebiothrive so the extra space in the container prevents this from happening.

Secondly, I am so sorry to hear that the product is not dissolving and you are not enjoying the taste. I have a solution that will fix both of these issues! Just blend Prebiothrive into your favorite fruit smoothie! Many of our customers enjoy consuming it this way because it tastes good and makes everything evenly mixed. I hope that this addresses the issues! If you have any other questions or concerns at all, please email me at Aria@Gundrymd.com, and I can assist you right away! And as you mentioned, if you are ever unsatisfied with Prebiothrive, I would be more than happy to issue you a full refund! Take care!

This product contains MILK!

By Jon, Eau Claire, WI, Verified Reviewer

I purchased some of this stuff and tried it out for a few days. Because I am lactose intolerant, I had a bad reaction to the product. It wasn't until I read the bottle that I found out it said it contained milk in it. So this might be a problem for those of you who are in the same boat as I am. It's too bad, I really wanted to give this stuff a try. Now I have to get my money back.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Prebiothrive was very detrimental to my health and my pocket

By Victoria H., East Sussex, United Kingdom, Verified Reviewer

The review below was submitted to the Gundry MD website, for their product Prebiothrive on 04/27/18. I gave a rating of 2 stars. The review has not been published on their website, I have had no contact from them since, and indeed you will see that there are no 1 or 2 star reviews for the product; I find this suspicious.

Please be warned that if you are buying this product from outside the U.S. and need to return it for a refund, you will still have to incur all the postage costs and customs fees involved. This worked out very expensive for me, hence, the quote "This 90-Day Complete-Money-Back-Guarantee allows you to try Gundry MD PrebioThrive with zero risk involved" is not entirely true, since it is only complete for the product itself, and there are indeed both cost and health risks involved.

My original payment for 6 tubs $208.95 (including postage), converted to £157.31. I then incurred £75.40 customs charges (I live in the UK), and £50.11 to post the tubs back to get my refund. So the total cost was £282.82. I received a refund of $199 which converted to £135.73, so made a total loss of £147.09. To their credit, Gundry MD did stand by their 90-day money back guarantee for the product, without any quibble.

I am aware that Prebiothrive has had fantastic results for many people; this is one of the reasons I decided to try the product.

I started to take the Prebiothrive on 02/01/18 and took it for the full 30 days. Unfortunately, I did not see any improvement, however, I did have a worsening of already existing symptoms, and a re-emergence of other symptoms that I’d previously cured.

I have M.E. and a number of various conditions, and have spent many years working hard on my health and have seen improvements in some areas. I have been eating only organic for 5 years, was in the past on an anti-candida diet for 6 years, and for the last 2 years have been on a paleo diet. I was hoping that the Prebiothrive would help with my bloating, unfortunately, it didn’t. Instead, it made my asthma and perennial rhinitis much worse, I had episodes of acute and very severe IBS pain which I hadn’t had for many years, dizziness returned which I also hadn’t had for many years, and my teeth became highly sensitive (again something I hadn’t had for years). After I finished the tub on 03/04/18, these symptoms stopped (or reduced back to the levels as before in the case of the asthma and rhinitis). Hence, I was reluctant to continue taking the product, given the negative effects it had on me and no perceptible improvements.

When I received the tubs I was really surprised to see that Prebiothrive contained milk. This was not mentioned anywhere in the lengthy (and very repetitive) video presentation that I watched, however, the other ingredients were mentioned. Why not mention the milk, especially given how many people don’t consume dairy? I am one of those people. I hoped at the least that it would be organic milk, perhaps raw, and even goats; but the fact that no information was given about the milk didn’t bode well. Nevertheless, I thought I would trust Gundry MD and try the product anyway. Unfortunately, my high hopes for it did not translate into reality at all.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hi Victoria, my name is Aria with Gundry MD. I replied to your other post but also wanted to address it here too. I want to thank you for taking the time to leave a review as we value and appreciate all feedback. I’m very sorry to hear that you have not been contacted by our customer service. Your review might have gotten stuck in our spam. We do our best to address any and all reviews, so I am so sorry that your issue has not been addressed yet.

Unfortunately, we have no control over a country’s customs charges, as only about 10% of incoming packages are selected for customs. Typically, Gundry MD is not responsible for customs charges as we have no idea when or how much you will be charged. I would be more than happy to refund your customs charges because of the miscommunication we caused. Please keep in mind that in the future we are unable to refund customs charges if an order acquires them.

The ingredients of PrebioThrive are clearly listed on our website. It states that it does contain milk. As always, we ask that you consult your primary physician prior to taking PrebioThrive to ensure that it is right for you. I will be more than happy to issue you a full refund for the costs incurred. Please email me at Aria@gundrymd.com and we can get that process started for you right away!

Gas, gas, gassy

By Tracy T., Florida, Verified Reviewer

I've been using this consistently for about 14 months now, and every single time, it still gives me the worst gas to where it's embarrassing and often painful. I have tried it with food, without food, you name it. I wish there was a solution, as I purchased about 12 jars along with the Vital Reds.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

If you are unable to continue taking Prebiothrive or Vital Reds, please email me at aria@gundrymd.com. I will be more than happy to issue you a full refund!

Average

By Connie D., Kansas, Verified Reviewer

I used this product for 3 months, do not see any change...thought would help with constipation...nope, no change at all.

I have finished 2 and 1/2 containers, I think that is enough.

I am going to stop the product before I get any more...

Probiotics

Too soon to tell if it works

By Mike Baldwin, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Verified Reviewer

I have only been taking it for eight days and have not noticed any benefits yet. It tastes absolutely awful, but I think I will keep taking it, and I am sure I will get used to the taste.

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

Hello Mike,

I am sorry to hear that you are not enjoying the taste of Prebiothrive. We suggest you try mixing it into a healthy flavored drink! It may take a bit longer than eight days to start feeling the results of the product, but you’re off to a great start.

Please continue to keep us updated on your progress by emailing me directly at aria@gundrymd.com. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, I’m looking forward to hearing more about your experience as you continue with the product Mike.

Prebiothrive Review

By Richard H Ulloa, Oak Harbor, WA, Verified Reviewer

I suppose I was expecting more? I'm not hating it, I'm just not seeing any change, and that has me wondering if it's working. So, I'm grading it average.

Company Response from Gundry MD

Jan 23, 2017

I'm not sure

By Julie, Tustin, CA, Verified Reviewer

I received the Prebiothrive and took it for about a week. I thought I was really liking it since I just felt lighter, but then my legs and feet started swelling. I really don't know if the two are related, but I have stopped taking it to see if the swelling goes away. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this reaction? If so, please reply. I take the Vital Reds and love them.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Contains milk

By Margaret Brown, Springville, NY, Verified Reviewer

I am not a milk drinker, nor do I routinely use dairy products. The online commercial I saw made no mention of this product containing milk. Some of the people who are having problems with the product may also be intolerant of milk.

I have used it for five days despite the milk. Some abdominal cramping has occurred and bloating. Also, it does not mix well with water; large clumps are left at the bottom of the glass.

I will still use it to see if it helps my overall health in the next month. But I think it would be fair to people (especially Vegans, and lactose intolerant people) to warn them ahead of time about the milk.

Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Jury is out

By Marsha Sabatino, Wallace, NC, Verified Reviewer

Having started on Prebiothrive on December 9th, I realize that holiday eating may not be a good indication of the efficacy of this product as a weight loss enhancement. Having said that and not having seen any appreciable weight loss as yet, I will say that I appreciate the decrease in my "cravings." I believe I am more mindful of what I take in for "fuel" without being overly strident in what is and is not allowed. Having participated in Whole 30 in the past, my sugar consumption is fairly minimal. I appreciate being able to enjoy a bit of half/half in my morning coffee.

I was hoping for a greater diminution of my body aches and pains, but acknowledge that perhaps the very cold weather we are experiencing in North Carolina and my almost 70 years may account for that. Waiting to see what the second month will bring.

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

Company Response from Gundry MD

Hi Marsha! I'm Aria from Gundry MD. I am so happy to hear that you have seen a decrease in your cravings and that you are now more mindful of your consumption since using Prebiothrive. We typically suggest that our customers use Prebiothrive consistently for at least 3 months to experience the full results of the product. I would love to be updated on your experience as time goes on! You can email me at Aria@Gundrymd.com if you would like! Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience. I look forward to hearing from you!
