IntestinePro Intestine Support for Humans with Non-GMO Wormwood, Black Walnut, Echinacea + 15 More Premium Ingredients, 60 Vegetarian Capsules

This product is excellent and works as intended. I study Microbiology in college, with that comes a significant amount of knowledge about parasites and the human microbiome. If you eat out often, enjoy your steak rare, love sushi & raw oysters (I love all of these things) or go out of the country, chances are you've picked up a parasite or two over the years.The problem with parasites is once they are in your body, they can stay there almost indefinitely if not treated. They secrete molecules that alter the immune system and prevent your body from eliminating them. Its basically a molecular cloaking device. The bigger problem besides parasites stealing your nutrients is the alteration of the immune system. This can cause the underlying symptoms of parasitic infection, brain fog, chronic fatigue, transient diarrhea and autoimmune disease. This is basically the parasite saying screw off, don't target me, target those brain and intestine cells! You will also get transient diarrhea as some of the parasitic population dies off, they no longer produce their molecular cloak and your body finally recognizes the parasite and flushes it out.You may also have a parasitic infection without any physical proof. Many parasites are protozoans, meaning they are microscopic in size. Malaria is a protozoan parasite (it is not a bacteria) but you know when you have malaria because you get extremely sick. Giardia intestinalis infection would be more low key and only detectable through a stool sample test at your doctor.Now for the ingredients in this product. The mix of herbs and extracts are natural potent antihelminthics and antibiotics that have been used over the centuries by various human populations to treat gastrointestinal issues. Modern science has caught up and research suggests that these natural compounds are effective against a broad range of infections. So basically this is a broad spectrum parasite and harmful bacteria killin' supplement.My personal experience of this product was positive, and to be honest I was surprised. I was in the US Army before going to college and I deployed twice to Afghanistan. Let's just say I was exposed to some questionable food and water. After my stint in the Army, I came home with gastrointestinal issues and chronic fatigue. I went to the doctor, tried various treatments and tests (never got a stool test though). Everything I personally tried and was prescribed targeted my brain, instead of my digestive system, where the real problem was at. Fast forward a few years to present day and I was still in the same predicament. I decided to give this a chance once I read some reviews and did research on the ingredients.To save you all from some graphic content, The first few days were a purge. Literally. It was the purge movie going on inside my bowels. It was notunpleasant or painful though and I gradually felt better. I took it with food as directed, I did not experience any pain or nausea during the 10 days, although I was dead tired for the first 5 days. After the 10 day treatment, I'm back. No gastrointestinal issues, i'm actually digesting all of my food and gaining more energy as time goes on. It is very likely I had a chronic infection of some sort that this product did clear up, I will never know for sure. I do recommend anyone that has tried to treat gastrointestinal distress with no success, to at least try this product once and see if it helps you.With my closing remarks I would like to extend some good practices with you. Always research the ingredients of a product before you purchase it. DO NOT refer to health blogs, quasi doctor websites, facebook or 90% of the internet for information about things that you will ingest. If the information you are reading has no scientific references be extremely wary of it. This is the modern equivalent of snake oil salesmen and many of these websites are trying to sell bogus products or get ad revenue.Learn to read scientific papers.Use google scholar.If you are a college student use the online scientific databases that you are given access to.If you are a parent with a child in college, ask them if they can access the databases at home. You'll be mind blown on the sheer amount of information that is not available on the regular internet.Strive to be intelligent folks-Dylan

I posted a question to which nobody has answered. Find the answer to this burning question in this (long) review... "Has anyone found that taking LESS than the recommended dosage to be effective?" Honestly, I do not eat 3 full meals a day. This product tells you to TAKE WITH FOOD (not recommends but literally TELLS you to take it with food -- even in a separate email after purchase with the headline "Warnings & Instructions"). After receiving this email, I knew it was important to take with food but wasn't quite sure why. Would it make me sick if not? Hmm... so I did even more research before taking them. I am very weird about taking supplements and usually buy these things but never take them out of fear. So, I decided to actually read every single review and question posted about this product to get a clearer picture of what I was getting myself into. After reading all the reviews, I did EVEN MORE research on the ingredients. Having been well versed on what to expect and found answers to all my questions, I was ready. Here is how my experience with this product went.I'll start with this, the reason I purchased this product was because I had suspected pinworms. I am a teacher and when I started having odd symptoms (itchy bottom at night was a new one), I decided to do a little probing (pun intended) and questioned one student who I noticed a little more squirmy than her usual self. My suspicion was right! Learning about this HIGHLY contagious and extremely common problem among younger school children made me certain I got pinworms from my student who had them. Mind you before this, I never even knew these things existed. Long are the days where I thought you couldn't get anything from a toilet seat. Pshhh, please! I am WAY more cautious now. However, here is the most interesting part...after I took Reese's Pinworm Medicine, things felt better for a few days. I pulled out all the stops and did everything I was supposed to during this period, and then continued to do these things for a period of 4 weeks! I even took the 2nd dose of Reese's after 2 weeks when I started noticing NEW symptoms. Instead of itchy bottom, I started feeling things "moving". This, I knew was not normal which is what made me do more research on different types of intestinal parasites. I had no idea how common they are, even in the United States where most people are naive about it. I am well traveled via cruises once a year (most recent being March 2017). I've eaten plenty of raw oysters and seafood in my life and about 4 months ago, I ate some very questionable meat. Yikes! As you can tell where I'm going with this, I started suspecting I had other intestinal parasites. I felt I did have pinworms, and taking that suspension medicine killed them off but aggravated the "others". Those were probably lurking in my intestines for months or longer. most symptoms of parasites go unnoticed or misdiagnosed ALL THE TIME. Therefore, I did some searching and came across IntestinePro. Made my purchase and hoped for the best.Symptoms (prior to taking IntestinePro):Extreme Fatigue/No EnergyDark Purple/Red Under Eyes (only in the corners spreading to the center -- never had this problem before April 2017)Constipation (unless I took Aloe Pills daily)Year-Long Allergies (started in 2015 -- never before that)Skin Problems on Butt Cheeks (never a single bump or pimple in that "area" before 2015 in my entire life!)Skin Crawling (seriously! got real bad right before I took Reese's)Irritability and Sensitivity to Light & Sound (weird huh?)Memory Problems/Head Fog/Couldn't focus for the life of me (even after an increase in med dosage for my ADD -- nothing worked)Symptoms (while taking InstestinPro):Lingering Headache (first few days)Loss of Appetite (first few days)ConstipationSleepless Nights and Even Darker Purple/Red Under Eyes (which I fully believe were "die-off" symptoms)Feeling of Intestinal Blockage (this is the best I can describe it, like a baseball trying to move through the intestines -- however, I saw why after going to the bathroom)Gas/Bloating (until having a bowl movement)Burping (right after taking them)"MY" dosage on the first round (it is recommended to take 2 pills 3 times a day -- which was simply WAYYYY too much for me -- UPDATE! Lesson learned!)I took two pills on an empty stomach immediately BEFORE eating breakfast. Remember I said I did research as to why you should eat with them? First and foremost, you will be doing yourself a favor by avoiding a headache, and second there is a bigger purpose behind this reason. The most important dose is in the morning on an empty stomach with lots of water and food immediately after so the pills get pushed into the small intestine as soon as possible. This is the most effective method I've found so far without taking the full recommended dosage. Then, I took only 1 more (same method) right before lunch or dinner...whichever it was that day. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure it would have been even more effective taking the "recommended dosage" on the bottle, but when I started noticing results, I simply didn't. However, I plan on doing a second round of this anyway. I did this method for 10 days. What I saw come out was jaw dropping!! I knew I wasn't crazy!! I saw THEM come out every time, with the most around day 7.All in all, THIS STUFF WORKS! It works even if you do not feel comfortable taking the full recommended dosage, but you may need a second round if so. I am so happy I did this! Oh, one more thing....ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS STATED ABOVE ARE NONEXISTENT!! Every single one of them...gone.UPDATE: A few days later I started experiencing symptoms again. A friend of mine told me why. There is a reason you are supposed to take 2 pills THREE times a day. When you start taking meds/herbs to kill off parasites, they freak out and multiply at a rapid rate (survival skills). This is precisely why you need to take them consistently 3 times a day. I am waiting 2 weeks until I start another round on the FULL RECOMMENDED DOSAGE. I suggest you do the same. Forget the headaches....just do it!

As far as I can tell, it's good. Haven't been taking it long enough to be sure.

Don't have any idea why but even just one of these capsules gives me a variety of different discomforts or pains starting the next day for 2-3 days. Might be in the digestive tract or in the eyes. Certainly a promising product for improved metabolism & health to read the ingredients but apparently not everyone can take it.
