Question the size of packaging to deliver a small item

Hi Team

I have purchased on two occasions the Bio Kult "Every day" (30 tablets) on line. I have no issue with the product I am sure it has helped over the last few months. Previously I bought these tablets in a retailer in a nearby town. My question to the organisation is why the delivery packaging A cardboard box that measures 220 x 160 x 110 mm and then filled with plastic for such a very small package. that holds 30 tablets. I have no issues with delivery service and confirm that ordering to delivery is brilliant and very prompt "First class"

Started taking bio kult 4 days ago. I'm very sick in my stomach, extremely constipated and awful gas, which is so embarrassing. Should I stop taking them?

Dear Brenda,

We’re very sorry to hear you’ve experienced some adverse effects after taking Bio-Kult. All of our products contain a high concentration of live bacteria. A small number of people may experience what is often referred to as a ‘die-off’ effect when first introducing such supplements. This could include symptoms such as bloating, gas or a change in bowel movements. Such symptoms usually subside within a few days to a few weeks, once the body becomes accustomed to the increased dosage. If this occurs, we recommend starting with a lower dose (perhaps 1/2 or even 1/4 capsule a day) and building up gradually from there. The capsules can also be twisted and pulled apart if necessary, and a small amount of the powder can be put directly into the mouth or mixed with water or food and just taken several times a week to begin with.

I hope this has been helpful, if you do require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us. We always appreciate hearing from customers and receiving feedback on our products.

We are always eager to help and advise, so if you wish to call our office, one of our qualified Technical Advisors would be happy to discuss your symptoms in more detail, and take some further details for our records.

A great experience and my suffering ended, praise be to God

Hello, good morning. I really enjoyed buying and trying the product. I wish I knew a long time ago. Praise be to God. My long suffering with gases, bloating, irritable bowel pain and fatigue has ended after eating fiber, fruits and vegetables. My sufferings have ended, praise be to God. My belly has become flat, and I do not suffer from Gas, I wake up in the morning feeling relaxed, I take two pills a day, one with breakfast and one with dinner. I hope for more of these beneficial bacteria as I will buy more for myself and my family. Thank you for your cooperation

I spent hundreds of dollars on dozens of products on Amazon and Iherb, and God is witness to what I write, that they did not work as well as this product did
Thank goodness

Game changer.

Game changer.
I have IBS and diverticula’s disease. Most days I was crippled with cramping and diarrhoea which made my life a misery.
Taking 2 Bio kult after every evening meal has changed my life and I have very few if any IBS or diverticula attacks.
I cannot recommend this product enough and hope this review will help other sufferers out there.

too much tummy ach to continue

I have suddenly started to suffer from constipation (age 57) and have read that it could be down to my gut health. So I started taking fybrogel just to move things along and then introduced one Bio-kult pill a day. After a week I'm going to stop. The bloating, gas and general unwell feeling in my stomach isn't worth it. I read the site where it says I can take smaller doses by taking the pills apart etc. To be honest I can't be bothered. I have subsequently read a review that says others have reported feeling this way while taking the pills and it could be down to the "2 million CFU where doctors recommend 10 million" I don't know but I'm chucking these out - shame I went for the 3 for 2 offer at boots :)

Useless customer service

Having left the last review about the mis-sold information I was contacted by the company and asked to email or call them. I called and spoke to somebody and of course not heard anything back walk samples of why not to use this company.

Mis sold

Updated. I was asked to email or call. I called and was told someone would get back in touch but of course they never did.
Mis sold - terrible customer service
Having responded to an email to use a 15% off discount code which failed to work at checkout I went through the chat option and have screenshots of a person from this agreeing I will be refunded 15% if I placed an order. I took him on his word and it’s so and when I have asked why I have not been refunded they told me that I had had a discount use before. Terrible customer service.

I have IBS and having suffering from severe constipation, bloating and gas. I was recommended this and bought. I have taken them for a few days and the changes have been notable however not all are good. I have constant rambling in my stomach, I have constant very smelly gas and poop which is very embarrassing. I frequently go to the toilet and my discomfort is better but the smell. Do I keep taking them?

Hi Olga! Thanks for reaching out - Live bacteria supplements are not associated with significant side-effects. However, some people may experience a change in bowel movements such as loose stools or constipation or other symptoms such as bloating, gurgling or mild cramps when first introducing probiotics. Such reactions (often referred to as “die-off” reactions) seem to be more common in those with dysbiosis (an imbalance of the gut microbes). It is thought likely due to the result of the sudden introduction of new bacteria in the digestive system, and the potential eradication of pathogenic species. Such symptoms usually subside within a few days to a few weeks, once the body becomes accustomed to the increased dosage. If this occurs, we recommend starting with a lower dose (perhaps 1/2 or even 1/4 capsule a day) and building up gradually from there. The capsules can also be twisted and pulled apart and a small amount of the powder can be put directly into the mouth or mixed with water or food and just taken several times a week to begin with if required until symptoms ease and you can gradually increase to your desired dosage. Hope that is helpful, and feel free to reach out to us at info@bio-kult.com if you have any other questions!

Bio kult worked for me in one day

Hi. I have been using these capsules for about 10 days now. But I could have started my review after I took the first one as it made a difference right away.
I am 62 years old and for over 30 years I have had problems with loose bowl movements and tummy cramps on a daily basis. I have tried many different products over the year that never helped.
I am sorry if this next part upsets anyone but I have to be honest with my problems and how these capsules worked for me.
I suffered from almost daily Diarrhea. On a good day I would go 4 times on a bad day maybe as many as 10 times. It effected my life and left me house bound because I always had to be close to a toilet.
After just one capsule the next day I saw an improvement. My stools had changed. At this time I have Increased how many capsules I take in a day to 3 times with meals. They state you can take up to 4 at this dose but they also sell stronger capsules that are 4 times stronger so make sure you read the instructions.
As I said before my stools changes after just 1 capsule and my tummy cramps have almost gone after a week.
I will continue to monitor my own condition and see if I need to increase or decrease how many I take a day.
I am almost afraid to dream that bio kult will be my dream cure. Its hard to believe that this has changed me in such a short time. I have already ordered more so I will not be without them.
Because of my condition I have been changing the food I was eating because I was blaming some foods of making things worse. If I took beans before I would only take 1 or 2 table spoonfuls. But now I can eat more. I plan to introduce more foods little by little so I don't undo the good work that bio kult has done.
I have read many 5 star reviews about this product and now I add my own 5 stars.
This is a true and honest review and I'm not being paid and not receiving free. I hope others will read the amazon reviews and find out about bio kult. This is my story and it works for me. So try it out and I'm sure you will also see it can change lives.
