Dr. Formulated Probiotics Urinary Tract Review – The Bottom Line
Dr. Formulated Probiotics Urinary Tract + appears to be a viable option in the multitude of urinary tract probiotic options available on the market today. Their website is colorful and easy to navigate although it contains limited information about what this product does and how it works. We found the focus of the information provided to be primarily about the doctor who created the product rather than the product itself. There is not enough information to make an informed decision about whether or not to invest in this probiotic and rely on it to provide optimal urinary tract health. Relative to other similar products on the market, the price for this probiotic is comparatively high especially considering that they do not offer a money back guarantee. When conducting research on Dr. Formulated Probiotics Urinary Tract + we found reports of consumers experiencing adverse side effects like severe abdominal pain and outbreaks of acne. Others have claimed they have taken the recommended daily dosage for an extended amount of time and still experience recurring UTIs. This with the combination that Garden of Life does not offer a money back guarantee suggests a lack of confidence in their product and makes us question if it can really offer any sort of relief or any sort of benefits.
