It has actually helped.

By Jane, Atlanta, GA, Verified Reviewer

I've not tried many brands but out of the few I have, this one seems to have helped. I'm not taking it to lose weight but more for digestive results. And it has definitely helped with that! I'm quite pleased with the reduction in bloating, etc. Digestive issues are all but gone. I will add, and emphasize, I have also changed my diet. Eating healthier - fresh foods - has made a huge difference. No more cow products and cut out meat (except fresh fish). I'm trying to also avoid the processed junk. It's really not that hard. :) And boy do I feel so much better - in only a few months time! (Huge digestion and respiratory benefits.)

Available at GNC.

By Chris, New England, Verified Reviewer

I am rating this a three since I have yet to experience any results one way or the other in the short period of time I've been taking it.

I called to cancel any future shipments and was well within the 18 day period but the sales rep on the other end said he'd send me another trial size since he didn't think the two week period was time enough to see any results. I asked him to make note that I had called to cancel and he said that he would. I also made note of it on my invoice. He is sending me another free sample bottle. He also said that I chose to continue to receive shipments I would only be charged $39.99 per bottle.

Today, I learned that this product is sold at GNC. I am going to call the distributor again and cancel. No contracts or commitments. If it doesn't work as well as I am hoping that it does, then I will not be "stuck" with the hassles of trying to cancel future shipments. I think GNC is the way to go.

Product is ok

By Ashley, Dallas, TX, Verified Reviewer

I have taken the product for about 6 weeks at this point. I haven't lost any weight (I even started exercising more during this period) and I can't even say I've noticed any difference with my digestion/daily energy levels. I'm not certain why it works for some and not others, but it just isn't a hit for me.

That being said, I would like to review this company. I signed up for their *free (pay shipping) 14-day trial. I was extremely annoyed by this because the company said that I had 18 days to cancel when they had already charged my card and set up the packing for shipment on day 17. Because of that, they could not cancel that month's shipment or the payment from my account. I got the 30-day supply for a whopping $74 when I had called to cancel within my 18-day window. I still canceled all future shipments with the intention of just returning the 30-day supply upon receiving it.

After I got the package, I called the company up and asked about how to refund the package and they informed me that they've set me up on the program to continue trying the product (the 30-day supply) and if I'm still not satisfied, I can return the empty bottle at the end of the month for a refund, minus shipping charges.

I used the product and had to call, yet again, to get the refund directions for the empty bottle. The process was relatively simple, just annoying to have to call and deal with the whole process again. I shipped it back, I did have to pay the $2.50 shipping charges to get it back to them. They issued my refund within 48 hours of sending the email that they had received it (it was about a week after I shipped it).

I have read numerous reviews that the company is terrible about the trial period thing and to avoid the company at all costs. I've seen that the company won't issue refunds, etc. I just want to say that, while I agree that their company doesn't really honor their 18-days to cancel, it isn't horrible to deal with to get the refund. I didn't have any issues getting my refund.

If you do try the product and like it, I will say that there are many cheaper options than the monthly subscription directly from ProbioSlim. They might be able to discount it well enough (call to cancel to get the offer) but I would probably still look elsewhere. Amazon has it for half the price, it is sold in CVS and possibly other places for cheaper, even. I would just recommend doing some price checking if you want to continue using it.

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

I feel better.

By Laura, Pueblo, CO, Verified Reviewer

I ordered this as a one time deal through Walmart and really love the results during the last two weeks. I feel better and lost seven pounds. I plan to continue to use because I'm tired of haing digestion issues and it has helped me tremendously. Thank you ProbioSlim.

Terms & Conditions please read before you buy!

By Melody, Idaho, Verified Reviewer

I did not get results with this product. I had hoped that this product would work. After taking it for the 14 days I called to cancel. The next bottle had already been shipped $69.99 + $4.99 shipping. Be aware that they go by the day you placed the order, not the day it was shipped or received. They do not care how long it takes you to get the product!

The salesman I spoke with was nice (or I thought) and told me to keep the bottle as they were sure I would get results and if not I could get a full refund. At no time did he tell me that in order to get the full refund I was required to send back the bottle. I even inquired about it when I needed to call back and he did not tell me that I would charged again in 30 days from when the last bottle was sent, he only told me to use the product. When I received yet another bottle and called again, I was told I should have read their terms and conditions. I was also told that good salespeople do whatever they need to do to make sales. I was misled in my first call and good customer service would have looked at the situation and became a better company because of it (giving a refund also for the shipping). By the time I had this all figured out I was charged another $39.99 + $4.99 for the second bottle. It then cost me $2.50 ($5.00 total) to return each bottle for the refund. The shipping totaled a little over $20.00 in all not including the free bottle ($2.99 shipping). I am waiting for my refund for the two bottles and trusting I will receive it.

I understand that I did not read the terms and conditions thoroughly enough, but fact is I was mislead by the salesperson and they justified it. If you are interested in this product please be advised to read the fine print, that they count the day you call and the day from the last shipping date. I can't say this product won't work for you as probiotics can be a major cause for weight gain and intestinal discomfort. I am saying that you need to be aware of this because it can be costly and they WILL NOT REFUND shipping charges even if their sales person misleads you.

Doesn't live up to the hype

By Deanka G., Jonesboro, GA, Verified Reviewer

I took this product for about three to four months. After the first two months, I tried to terminate the service but they kept sending me more free trials before I was finally allowed to cancel. I took this product according to the directions and saw no real discernible results. I changed my diet, exercised like five to six times a week, and I may have managed to lose maybe 10 pounds, but I would've done that with all the exercise I was doing.

All this product really does is make you go to the bathroom. Really. that's it. It doesn't really do anything else. It didn't curb my appetite or make me eat less or anything else the advertising promises. I was very disappointed, and even though there is a money back guarantee attached after your first month or something, I never was able to get a refund and I spent over $100 on this product.

All in all, I'm very disappointed.

It doesn't work

By Diane Nance, Verified Reviewer

I got a sample of this, been taking it twice a day. It doesn't do what it says, plus they took 79 dollars off my debit card without my authorization

NOT good

By Denice McCoy, Phoenix, AZ, Verified Reviewer

After weeks of debating on taking this product I decided to take one this morning. After a few hours it didn't agree with me. I am gluten intolerant and that didn't agree, as well as with my nerves. One was enough to have me throw the entire new bottle in the trash. I will stick with my probiotics that my chiropractor recommended to take. For those that take this product and have good results - congrats.

You have to keep ringing

By Faye, Melbourne, Australia, Verified Reviewer

I placed a review on here a few weeks ago, saying how I could not contact them either to cancel my order, as I just couldn't afford the charges. You do get a message saying to call back during business hours, and this is what I was doing, from Australia.

However, I was up late one night and realized it would be 9 am in their office in the U.S., so I called. I did get someone immediately and was able to cancel. The woman was ok, but did try to talk me into other deals, and reduce the price. I just kept saying no, I need to cancel this subscription.

I got an email within about 10 minutes saying this had been done. I hope it has. I called at 1 am Australian time, which is a nuisance, but was worth it.

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

Too much caffeine

By Suzanne R., Wisconsin, Verified Reviewer

I was really excited to try this ProbioSlim, and was going to order it online, got out the magnifying glass to read the very fine print, and saw that after the free trial, they would charge me $69.99 for the one-year membership, and then $14.99 per month for the product, unless I canceled before the end of the 14-day free trial! So I drove to Walmart, and bought a bottle of 30 capsules for $18.99 three days ago, and was extremely impressed at how "happy" I felt. A lot of my pains were gone, but unfortunately for me, there is way too much caffeine in this product for me, and it caused heart palpitations, so I'm done with it. The bottle instructs you to take one with breakfast, and one with lunch, but I only took one with lunch, and was still "zipping" around at 10 pm all three days. Bottom line is that if you want to try this - go to Walmart and buy it so that you don't get taken advantage of on the company's website. I feel that I would've lost some weight because of feeling "happy" and being able to move around more. I would love to try a caffeine-free version of this product.

Use a visa gift card for online purchases

By Brandie, Cleveland, TX, Verified Reviewer

I ordered the trial but didn't start taking the product until I read some reviews. After reading all of this on here, I will not start taking this product ever. I would like to add that you should get a visa gift card to order things like this instead of putting it on your credit card. This way if you don't like the product, they wont be able to bill you for anything else. They are one time use cards so once you spend all the money on the card, they wont be able to bill you for anything else later. This is the only way my family makes online purchases. This also helps with people somehow getting your credit card info since it's just a gift card. So once you spend all the money on the card, it won't matter who gets the card number.

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