I first had this in Canada and was so happy when I could finally find it down here in the States. It is, IMO, the best probiotic there is. The Dr/Naturopath that I saw in Canada recommend it to me and I have used it on and off for years. And it is really helping my mom who has colitis, which is an extra benefit.The seller delivers quickly and there is an ice pack [though this time it was a little warmer than I normally like it to be] to keep it cold; I have never been unhappy with the service they provide in a timely manner.There was some concern that these probiotics did not come with a cool pack. I thought all probiotics had to be kept cool. so I went to the manufacturers website and pasted the following statement.I am now confident it taking these. but you do need to keep them in the fridge when you get them, and if you are taking antibiotics now, wait for three hours before taking the probiotic so that the anitbiotic does not kill the it. Also, after your antibiotics are over you may want to continue taking these for 3-6 months. In addition you may want to order Liv-gen, to cleanse your liver since antibiotics hit your liver very hard. Liv-gen 10 drops in mouth morning and 10 in eve 20 mins away from food. Take until bottle is empty."Probiotic supplements, such as HMF Forte, last for up to six months without refrigeration and are travel-safe. However, if you want to keep them fresh for longer periods of time, keeping them in the refrigerator or freezer is advised. This bottle offers a 30-day supply of HMF Forte at the recommended dosage."-These work great for digestive issues such as Candida, however I do think the price feels high for a probiotic. This specific probiotic was recommended to me by a naturopathic doctor to aid with my stomach issues, and every time I have flare up I purchase a bottle and it seems to be gone within a week or two, so I imagine the price is an indicator of the quality. They are shipped in cool-packaging that keeps them cool for several hours to keep the cultures alive.This vendor packed the probiotic with cold packs and it arrived on time. The price was the best I found. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and am Lactose Intolerant, and this product works wonders for me. It keeps me healthy, aids digestion, and eliminates gas and bloating. I am also prone to yeast infections as my body doesn't produce enough enzymes and this product helps me ward off the yeast infections and other symptoms I get from having Candida Syndrome like fatigue. This product is great because it has Lactobacillus acidophilus (two strains) 6 billion CFU, Bifidobacterium bifidum 1 billion CFU, Bifidobacterium lactis 1 billion CFU, Fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) 200 mg May contain up to 12 billion CFU. It also contains no added wheat, starch, yeast, gluten, corn, soy, sucrose, artificial coloring or flavoring, preservatives, dairy or animal products. It contains no artificial colors and is Corn Free, No Artificial Flavors, Organic Product, Preservatives Free, Salt/Sodium Free, Veggie Product and Wheat Free.DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! This product which "requires refrigeration" will arrive after days of traveling, HOT, completely HOT. The packaging does NOT keep the bottles cool AT ALL. The bacteria in these probiotics most likely is completely non-viable, after traveling for days and days in the hot summer weather, and most likely left in your yard in the sun, like mine was. When you write a message to the seller, they DO NOT EVEN REPLY. This product is also NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND! Cannot even express how unhappy I am with this company/product.The first time I ordered this probiotic, some of the reviewers said the pills did not come cold and had to be returned. I chanced it and ordered anyway and was happy that it came with a cold pack and was indeed cold. My second order came and was most definitively not cold. It had a cold pack with it, but it was warm and so was the bottle. I returned it and won't order again, I won't chance it as it appears to be a gamble whether or not it will arrive cold, so the company is apparently not reliable.I really didn't see an improvement with these. I have no idea if they work or not. Honestly doing a raw foods cleanse and then totally doing raw until four helped my digestive tract way more than I think these did. I have battled digestive issues for awhile and applying proper food combining helped much more than any probiotic did. I had tried six other brands before this and then just decided to go back to a raw foods cleanse for awhile. 801010 helped me a lot with that. No I am not a raw foodist but sometimes your body needs to naturally get back on track. Maybe for some with a SAD could benefit from these. But after two bottles of these I didn't see improvement. Shipping was good and everything with the seller went smooth so no complaints there. I won't give it less than three because I do believe these could maybe help others. Just not for everyone.Have been using this product for a number of years and am very happy with it. Great value and great results.The "Rate features" questions are rather obtuse, but I hit 5 stars in support of the actual product.There is no denying this is a good product. I could feel a difference with my digestion within only a couple of days of taking 1 capsule twice a day. However, the pricing is ridiculous. I bought these 6 weeks ago for £43, which I already considered to be very expensive. I came back today wanting to buy more, but these are now priced at £85 - almost doubling the price over that 6 week period.Will I be buying these at this price? Absolutely not.So, to be clearer to other readers, this is my view:Product rating: 4.5/5Price rating: 1/5very good cure for digestion system problems.
