Hyperbiotics Pro-15 is a popular probiotic supplement and a best seller on Amazon.com. It has also received much praise from satisfied customers. Therefore, a Hyperbiotics Pro review seemed just right.
This is an updated review to check Hyperbiotics manufacturing principles, composition, choice of bacteria and how the supplement works overall. I also included comments on the Hyperbiotics Pro series.
Hyperbiotics Pro-15 features
Here are the main point:
- Each pearl contains 5 billion CFU delivered through a patented delivery system to ensure that bacteria are protected and delivered live through the harsh stomach environment.
- They’ve packed 15 bacteria strains of three major types into a very small pearl. The body loves diversity!
- Uses time release.
- The pills are really small and easy to swallow.
- They use LiveBac® technology to ensure shelf-life stability which might make refrigeration unnecessary.
- Their homepage has a decent amount of information about manufacturing, production, goals and who they are. It all looks reliable.
What about cost?
The regular bottle with 60 capsules sells for $25 which is a competitive price. And you get much for the money.
- 15 strains of well-researched bacteria
- Hyperbiotics homepage offers plenty
- Backed by sound research
- Many satisfied customers
- The pills are natural
Verdict
Highly recommended! This is a great supplement that should cover the needs of most people. Hyperbiotics has become a trusted brand, offering a range of good quality products. In addition, many satisfied customers add much trust.
How to take
Take the pills on an empty stomach. Since Hyperbiotics uses a time-release, some prefer taking it in the morning to allow for the bacteria to be released into the gut during the day. However, I think that taking the pill at any time will most likely bring similar benefits.
The recommended serving is one pill per day. But as with most supplements, adjust the dose according to your gut feeling. Taking 3-7 pills per day would not be a problem. Or try Hyperbiotics Advanced Strength below.
