Customer Reviews

Possibly better than Pearls
I just read a report by Consumer Labs on probiotics. Although this product wasn't included, the Enzymatic Pearls were. Since they both appear to offer the same technology, I compared the contents and found that this product has four types of bacteria, including the two contained in the Pearls. Ironically, according to Consumer Labs, the types of bacteria in both products(strains of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium) can usually survive gastric acids and don't need a coating anyway.

Helps Heartburn Problems
I purchased this in an attempt to get off of a continous cycle of heartburn and prilosec usage.
This has made a difference. I find that if I stay away from tomato products and take Natrol Biobeads my prilosec usage is now only a few times a month.
Huge difference for me.

Good product but don't buy from Discount Vitamins
I used to buy this in 30 bead packs at Walgreens and was happy with it. I thought it would be great to save money by buying the 90 bead pack. When I opened the package, the beads were brown on one side. I don't believe that Discount Vitamins stored them correctly. Don't buy from them.
