Update:My only complaint below was that there were no measurement markings on the dropper for more accurate dosing. I finished out my first bottle, and ordered another, so maybe a month after leaving the first review. And that bottle arrived with measurement markings on the bottle! So my four stars has been changed to five. That's a level of customer service bordering on fanatical, and I'll take it! I use the vitamins, minerals, and probiotics, and have noticed a difference in my health. Now, back to the original review...This has the strains of probiotics I was looking for, plus some. A probiotic supplement should really have several, but it's not just "the more the merrier". Different probiotics do different things in the body, and I was looking for gut health and inflammation relief. This combo is great for that.There are enough of the colonies to make a difference. You really have to give your body a good dose if you're just starting to get healthy, and it helps to continue the supplement to protect against times when your diet just can't provide all of what you need. Or times when your immune system needs a boost, your stress levels are high, and a hundred other things (maybe. I didn't count. It's just a lot.) I saw evidence of this when I took my first half-dose; it did exactly what the literature said it might!Flavor: This tastes like nothing. Like filtered water. Until I saw the effects, I was afraid I'd gotten ripped off. The only reason I kept taking it was because I'd had success with other products in this line. That's how much it tastes like nothing. So yay! Definitely no worries about artificial color or flavor.Color: See above. It not only tastes like water, it looks like water. Put it in whatever you like without concern.Dosing: Ugh. "Four half droppers". But even with a good squeeze on the "nipple" (?), the dropper tube isn't really halfway full. So I assume that's what they mean by "halfway". But it's difficult to know whether I'm getting the right dose each time. A dropper with dose markings would be incredibly helpful. But, it's probably close enough, especially for this type of supplement.Results: After a single week, I'm seeing improvement. I cannot attribute it all to this supplement, as I am also on a strict short-term diet for the purposes of healing my gut. This is just a part of getting your gut healthy. I won't go into great detail, but my digestive function has improved, as well as several other related ailments. Amazon isn't the place to get more personal lol.Buy Again? Yes. I would and I will. I am likely to take advantage of their monthly subscription program, available on the MaryRuth website, after success with the vitamin and mineral supplements as well. I have also recommended this supplement to my adult daughter.

Although I did love the water based formula because it was much easier to take and give to my kids since it tasted like water. I do appreciate the MCT oil substitute given all the benefits of mct oil that are good for the gut and the brain. I showed this to my dr and she approved of it and the ingredients. If you or your children are not taking any probiotics in your food such as yogurt, sauerkraut or sourdough breads etc, this is a good substitute. However if you get it in your food it’s not needed. The way we take this is mixing it w a tablespoon of our liquid omega 3 that has a fruity flavor, add this on top and you don’t even notice. You can also add to juice or smoothie.

I first used this probiotic back in 2021. I had just graduated college, gotten a new job, moved, and gotten engaged. I was super busy and always stressed, my energy felt lower than normal after having Covid etc. I started to learn about ways to clean up my diet and feel better in general, and heard about probiotics. When I looked into reviews etc, this one came highly rated. It took two weeks for me to finally be regulated (in those two weeks I had more stomach aches than normal and it was a little painful going to the bathroom!) but I loved how it helped me be more regular and I took a half dose almost daily for three years. It was easy to take and tasteless- awesome!! At the beginning of July, I ordered a new bottle. I was not notified or anything that they had changed the formula. I opened it and took it and could not believe the taste! Oily and the weirdest aftertaste ever. I figured "hmm ok maybe it needs to go into the fridge and it just tastes different cold." I took it the next day and same thing! I looked at the bottle and realized it said it didn't need to be refrigerated. Skeptical, I quickly turned to Amazon to make sure I bought from the right vendor, but of course I had just reordered it from the same vendor. So weird.Today I was in a different headspace and I could not get myself to take this porbiotic. I was getting hard on myself - "why the heck am I so opposed to this probiotic! It helps me! I'm being like a little child with vegetables." I decided to look at recent reviews to see if anyone agreed with me. Turns out a ton of people do. I looked more into it and I CANNOT BELIEVE this, and I also can't believe how gullible I was! There are posts in several Facebook support groups about people have allergic reactions, no longer seeing the benefits, etc. And I realized - wow, I don't think I have been seeing the same benefits either. My stomach has been hurting more than normal and I haven't been as regular. I called to share my experience with MaryRuth but no one was available. I will send my thoughts via email. I would absolutely not recommend this product. It tastes terrible, it is messy (because it is oily it drips even if you're super careful, and they can't even be honest. It looks like the bottle has changed a bit since I ordered it last month so I am guessing they are trying to make it clearer. But what the heck! Definitely lost my business and I will not be trying other products. Ugh, back to the drawing board to find another probiotic!!

I have been taking Mary Ruth's for years! This liquid probiotic has zero taste and works great!
