I’ve been recommending spore-based probiotics for years and giving them to my own family. Prescript Assist was one of my top choices because it was clinically validated and several practitioners I deeply respect reported good results with it. However, it was reformulated in 2017 and – although I usually go by the adage that if you can’t say something positive not to say anything at all – I feel it is important to update you about why. Here are my concerns: 1. Limited or no evidence of benefit for the reformulated version – Of the 29 strains used in Prescript Assist’s original formula that was shown to be helpful for Irritable Bowel Syndrome in randomized, controlled clinical trials, only nine are used in the new formula. Of the nineteen new strains are included, most have no or very little clinical evidence supporting their use. 2. Undeclared allergens – In 2018, Magnetic Clay (now Enviromedica) issued a voluntary recall after they learned that their supplier violated Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), resulting in the presence of undeclared allergens including almonds, crustaceans, milk, casein, eggs, and peanuts. Magnetic Clay urged consumers to return the product to them for a full refund, which I respect immensely. Many companies don’t issue recalls for known problems because they don’t want to offer reimbursements, but Magnetic Clay chose to do the right thing.What I’m Using Instead
My husband and I both use Seed Synbiotic, which is a 2-in-1 prebiotic and probiotic. (Probiotic + Prebiotic = Synbiotic) Here’s why Seed is my top choice:- Transparency – You know exactly what strains are included and in what quantities. (Because strain matters, and so does potency!) Here’s what Seed’s 24-strain blend includes:
- Digestive Health, Gastrointestinal Immunity & Gut Barrier Integrity Blend (17 research-backed strains)
- Dermatological Health Blend (5 research-backed strains)
- Cardiovascular Health Blend (3 research-backed strains)
- Micronutrient Synthesis Blend (2 research-backed strains)
- Microbiota-Accessible Prebiotic™ [MAP] Blend (prebiotics)
- Survivability – Seed uses nested capsules that are designed to survive the harsh environment of the stomach. Basically, there’s an inner capsule with beneficial bacteria that is nested inside an outer capsule filled with a liquid prebiotic that shields the bacteria from oxygen, moisture, heat, and stomach acid.
- Allergen-Free – It’s free of common allergens like dairy, gluten, and soy.
- Seed’s Chief Scientist, Dr. Gregor Reid, is literally the guy who coined the word “probiotic.” – In addition, their Scientific Advisory Board is made up of scientists, researchers, doctors and authors across the fields of microbiology, immunology, genetics, metabolomics, gastroenterology, pediatrics, molecular biology, and transcriptomics. They lead labs, teach at world-renowned academic institutions, and have among them 2800+ publications and over 140,000 citations in peer-reviewed scientific journals and textbooks.

My children (ages 1 and 3) haven’t tried swallowing capsules yet, but I believe both would benefit from a product like this. It would be interesting to try! Thanks for the opportunity.
Kirstyn
There are some people in my family that have problems with their GI Track and this is something I would like to try to help them out!
Melissa
would love to try this brand!
Kimberly
I really think this is something I need! I have had issues all my life and have been told that I have a leaky gut. Going to print out information and take it to my Naturopathic Physician so he can see about this great product.
Cindy
I have had leaky gut for over 13 years and have improved tremendously from doing the microbiota transplant with a friend! Nothing has improved my condition as much as this. Make sure your research also included info re: lectins and phytates. Took me for ever to find this much information. What you find is cutting out the gluten is replace with Brown Rice flour however, this also attaches to the gut wall doing harm. You have to cut out grains but get a list of lectins and phytates.
Suzanne
Everywhere I have called said I cannot have a transplant unless I have c. diff. I have severe leaky gut & nobody has been of much help.
Jessica
These sound very high grade & helpful. Right now we take premier labs. I’d love to know how these compare!

Michele Cullar
I’d love to win such an awesome product!
Jenell
I have been curious about Prescript-Assist, but neither my Whole Foods nor co-op carry it. Actually, a lot of the supplements I wanted were not there. I’m really working to heal my digestion/adrenal/hormonal function. Thanks for offering the giveaway!

Tania
I havent tried this product but I’ve found using a D-lactate free probiotic has done wonders for my son with autism. Antioxidants such as vit D and NAC reduce his stimming impulses. Methyl-folate, magnesium and methyl-b12 (injection in his sleep every 3rd night) make a difference too. When I stopped the injections the family members who had been very against me giving him an injection all said that he needed to go back on it since they could see now that they made a big difference. I’m not a doctor and I’m not promoting any products I just thought I’d share my experience. I love my sons quirks, but I’m happy to have found a few things to detoxify him and reduce symptoms that are uncomfortable for those around him, but most importantly him. He’s done so well that his Kindergarten teacher isn’t even requesting aide support for him when he had a year of funding left over! I contibute at least part of his ability to succeed to these safe biomed supplements. On occasion he gets a digestive enzyme and we did remove gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy from his diet but after a year we allow them on occasion mostly because it helps us focus on nutritious foods such as almond/cashew products, ancient grains, non GMO starches such as potato and corn as well as magnesium rich nuts. All the best!

I saw this probiotic mentioned a while back and have been wanting to try it but the price has been prohibitive. Would LOVE to win it!
Annie A
I’ve been battling candida for 13 years and the probiotic costs have really added up! I’ve never tried this brand before. I’d love to give it a try! Thank you for the giveaway! 🙂

Gwen B.
It would be such a blessing to be able to try these. I suspect my family and I are struggling with Candida or Leaky Gut. I was just recently diagnosed with an autoimmune thyroid issue plus an inability to absorb certain B vitamins. The remedies have been really costly so a chance to try this as a gift would mean the world to us!

Debbie
I’m in the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner program and when working with my practice clients I am always recommending a probiotic along with other digestive support. I have been recommending a couple of other brands, but recently heard from Chris Kresser and YOU 🙂 that these are the most effective at colonizing and resulting in more healing. Since you guys are smarter than I am, I am dying to try them to see if I also can recommend when I start my practice!
Emily W.
I’ve been looking for a good probiotic to add to the mix!

My son (2 1/2) and I are starting GAPS and this is the probiotic recommended by a GAPS practitioner…but we cannot afford it. This would be great for intro for us!

Even went to this web site the other day but it looks like it is for professionals.
Rachel
I would love to win some of this probiotic to add to my husband’s regime in our struggle to control his debilitating skin condition.
Jill Dupre
I really, really, really need this so bad. I have suffered with severe digestive issues for years. They are so bad I have this unnerving fluttering in my chest. I have had a complete cardiac work up and found no issues. I KNOW it is stomach related because I have the most issues when I feel gassy or like my food is undigested for hours. I have been diagnosed with IBS with constipation but I know there is something more than that going on. My sister suffers from the same issues and she was diagnosed with gastroparesis. Would be a blessing to win and give this a try!
Sara
From the year 1997- 2010 I was under the impression I had IBS…I was even diagnosed by a “Specialist in the late 90’s who confirmed this impression. The symptoms were severe enough that I had to retire as school bus driver 🙁
In March of 2010 I was in n the hospital with very painful spasms in my belly/abdomen.
Tests such as a vaginal ultrasound revealed a twisted colon. Emergency surgery was performed that evening to temporarily in untwist the colon and get my system thoroughly cleaned out before performing the major surgery to remove 3 feet of my colon. I could have died if it had burst! I owe my life to Jesus, and my adult daughter, whose threat that she’d never speak to me ever again, if I didn’t get to the emergency room!
I pray you received thorough tests! God bless you!
Deborah Shaw
another great product!
Aimee
Very interested in trying this probiotic. Trying to find a good probiotic.

I would love to win because I am pregnant and we have a toddler…ever since my toddler was a baby and “got an ear infection” we’ve been using probiotics. I fell for that whole doctor bit and used an antibiotic and she had been sick ever since…she has hardly been sick in 2 years since starting probiotics! This would be great to help out with the expenses since it seems we are always buying FCLO, probiotics, or something! 🙂
Rebecca Y
I’d love for my daughter to try these. She is having lots of vomiting and stomach pain issues. So this might help her to heal.

Brittany
Our family is going to start GAPS soon and this looks like a great option for a probiotic!

Christy

MarieFran
Heather, thank you for this Giveaway! What I am curious about is how does this differ from GutPro (which was a past Giveaway)? Do you have a preference for one over the other? Thank you!
Heather
Prescript Assist and GUTPro are the two probiotics that I have in my kitchen right now. They’re totally different because GUTPro is a lactic acid-based formula and Prescript Assist is a soil-based formula. I try to eat fermented foods everyday, but when I get behind I supplement with GUTPro. I also try to get outdoors a lot but I take Prescript Assist a couple of times a week because I don’t have a garden or fertile tilth to dig around in 🙂
MarieFran
Thanks for clarifying that, Heather!
Sara Grambusch
This stuff is expensive, I’d love to win it!
Angela DiTullio

Michelle
I just ordered Prescript Assist from Amazon for my daughter who is having major digestive issues right now. She has had numerous blood tests and we are still waiting to hear results. Her doctor recommended a probiotic, so I began researching right away to find the best one. What a coincidence to see your contest advertised on Facebook. I’m crossing my fingers!
Eileen @ Phoenix Helix
I’m healing rheumatoid arthritis through diet, and restoring gut balance is a key step in the process. Like you, I make my own fermented foods, but would love to round it out with some SBO’s.
Laura
I would love to take this product! I take antibiotics every day (therapeutically) and it wreaks havoc on my system. This sounds like it would be great!

Leah
I don’t eat enough dirt, but I do try! I would love these!
Amanda Tison
I just ordered the cod liver oil from your other post and I really want to order this too, but being a SAHM we don’t have the extra funds right now.

So, I just read all about this stuff this morning. I’m sold, I need it now! Only problem is I just convinced my husband that we could afford to buy fermented cod liver oil. So now I have no money for this! lol. I’m a biology student and have worked with some of these microorganisms, and some very similar to the ones here. Needless to say I am very excited to try this product, and this seems like my chance! THANKS!!!!!

I would love to try them!
Tara
I am in need of some good probiotics bad! I am still recovering from antibiotics from almost a year ago!
Pei
We consume probiotic daily.
Jordie
My gut SUCKS. I have terrible eczema and digestive issues (food goes in but doesn’t come out…) and the only way I can solve this is through probiotics in some form. I’ve tried fermenting vegetables but mum is an absolute clean freak and hates me leaving out vegetables without the lids properly shut for more than three hours, and we don’t have access to raw milk because it’s banned in Australia. Having probiotics in a pill would make life SOOO much easier, so that my eczema would go away and I wouldn’t feel so bloated all the time!
Susie Legg
We are new to real fooding – have the kombucha on the way, still need kefir, probiotics, and cod liver pills :-). Thanks for the opportunity.

Amanda
Curious as to how Prescript Assist compares to Gut Pro. Bacteria/servings/money.

They’re totally different. GUTPro is a lactic acid-based formula, whereas Prescript Assist is soil-based. I try to eat fermented foods every day, but when I get behind in my kitchen I take GUTPro. I also try to get outside a lot, but I am still working to establish a garden so I can’t say I’m getting a lot of good microbes from productive soil. For that reason I take Prescript Assist.

Kate L
How many millions and/or billions are in each pill? I couldn’t find that info anywhere. It’s something I’ve been told to look out for regarding these types of products..
Heather
It has 145 million CFU per capsule – however, it cannot be compared to CFU’s in lacto and bifido based probiotics where massive numbers are required the majority die during manufacturing, storage, stomach acid, etc, etc.
jenny
i would love to win because my digestive system needs some help!
Chi Chi
Would love this opportunity to try something new. I have been spending a LOT of money on probiotics and it has lead me to a whirlwind of confusion. One day, I will figure it all out.

However, I’ve read it’s important to rotate them, so I’d love to win so he can try these and see how they work for him. High quality probiotics are very important, and it’s clear these are high quality!!

leah
this is fascinating. I’d really like to try this; I’ve been building up my gut flora with kombucha, milk kefir cheese, homemade kimchee and ginger bugs, but i’m afraid to eat dirt i find outside; there are too many chemicals everywhere. maybe after a few years of building up the soil in my garden… i’ll get more brave. for now i’d love to try this.

The other day when you posted the link about this stuff I seen it and was amazing at how much sense it made! I have kept the tap open for a bottle of it for days. And even tho I know we can’t afford it right now, I kept the tab open to day dream about getting it (I know sad lol) and I have also shared it with friends so anytime I need to copy and post the link for it, it’s there 🙂
Lisa Todd
Having digestive issues, i would love to try this.
Susan
This might be the product that would help heal my gut/heartburn issues. I’ve been taking acid reducers for a few weeks and have 2 more weeks to take them and been wondering what probiotics to take after that. Sounds like a wonderful product that might help me!!
megan
I have years of digestive troubles that i have been trying to manage with a whole foods diet, I feel better, but i know i need a really super probiotic and i have yet to find one. I also now have a 3 month old baby who seems to fair much better when i do take probiotics. Since i am currently not working and with no mat leave as i work for myself i cant afford these, but this would be a great way to try and then i can purchase once back at work and can afford them 🙂
I am really hoping this could be an answer to years of trying to heal.

Candiss
I have been wanting to try this!

My son and I would greatly benefit from this because we have severe candida, leaky gut, and gluten intolerance.
Kathleen
Thank you for all the wonderful information you provide on your blog. I feel fortunate to have found it. 🙂
bobbi jo
Have tried others but they don’t seem to work well. Would love to try this one! Has a lot of good reviews.
Krystal Wight Armstrong
I’m ‘leaving a comment’ for an entry, as I’m very interested in making these a part of our dietary habits. And Thank you for doing all the work & research to bring us this info, and then to offer a giveaway!
On a different note…I love your giveaways (and even moreso your super informative and entertaining blog posts), but I’m often not sure what to do with some of the entry fields in your giveaway forms. Like the one that says to check out the product’s link above and then there’s an empty box- I assume I should put my e-mail address in it, but I just thought I’d kindly suggest that with a few of those different entry options, there might be more info on what to fill the boxes in with.
Thank you again! 🙂
Zandra Brown
I love giving my family probiotics and this one sounds amazing!

These were recommended by a GAPS practitioner who did a talk for our local WAPF group. I’ve been wanting to try them ever since. I suppose if I don’t win I should just prioritize and give them a try. Fermented foods are great but I think my kids and I need a bit of an extra boost.
Stacey
I’ve never tried a soil based probiotic before. I like that it doesn’t have to be refrigerated.
Ali
I have never tried a soil based probiotic, and would love to give it a shot for my SIBO!

I’ve never tried a probiotic supplement before. Plus, my husband isn’t huge on trying to get his probiotics through food, so this would be great for me to be able to give him!! 🙂
Laura
Yay! Always love a new product to try!

My friend has a nursing 8 month old who is having a round of antibiotics. She’s dairy sensitive. What’s the best way for baby girl to get some good probiotics in her system? If mom took these, would the benefits pass to baby? could a capsule be sprinkled on some pureed food?
Thanks!

Ashley
I love this stuff…I can tell a difference when I don’t take it 🙁

My girls have just started going to a new doctor who has prescribed they get started on a probiotic. They of course suggested another brand that is easily found at pretty much any grocery store…I’d rather use and pay for something that’s gonna do us some good!

what easier way to try something new. We’ve done probiotics before, but haven’t been consistent- didn’t notice positive results. Perhaps this different formula will work better!
Hollye Long
I am just beginning my real food journey and would love to defray some of the “startup costs” so my hubby doesn’t want to wring my neck! Also I am a huge probiotics food girl. My tummy and intestine seem to be a week point for me.
Tara
I would LOVE to try these!
Vivian
My husband has bouts of IBS ..I want to see if this might help him.
Lisa
I was wondering if these are safe for children, and if so is the dosage the same? I’ve tried searching, but can’t seem to find that anywhere. I did see on Prescript Assist’s site that they are “for adults.” Just wondered if you knew. Thanks!
Alexis D
Came across this article today on yahoo.com –> http://health.yahoo.net/experts/dayinhealth/are-probiotics-new-prozac
April
Heather, I am interested in trying this probiotic for my 3 year old. I am trying to feed him and supplement in ways that will boost his immune system. My question is that I have also read there may be concerns about SBO’s being pathogenic and ” taking over” the gut including the good bacteria housed there. Do you have any thoughts on these ideas? Thanks. I love your blog and respect your opinions.
Heather
Hi April, first off I would like to say that I am not a healthcare professional and cannot give advice regarding specific situations. Personally, after looking at the research I’ve concluded that there is a huge difference between endospore forming organisms and “spore forming” organisms. Prescript Assist contains only endospore forming organisms, which according to the manufacturer are inactive in the body. They wait until they are expelled to do their thing.
Allison
Do you take GutPro Probiotics as well as the Prescript Assist Probiotics? Do you feel the two are compatible or is Prescript Assist the only probiotic you take? Thanks!
Heather
I only take GUTPro when I fall behind on making fermented veggies – they’re what I usually rely on for LAB’s. I do take Prescript Assist on a regular basis, though.
Sandy
Can you tell me how to make fermented veggies?
Kay
Would these work instead of BioKult probiotics or to be used in conjunction with them? I’m looking for a good probiotic to take on GAPS.
Liz
I was wondering if this was ok to take while pregnant? I have currently been taking a different brand of pre/probiotics and it’s almost gone. I’d like to switch to something more organic/natural. I read about another brand that causes serious diarrhea for a few days and didn’t want something that “violent”. I was hoping to find something a little more gentle. Thank you!
Heather
Hi Liz, I can’t say what anyone else should do but I personally chose to take it while pregnant.
Catherine
This is a wonderful product. We are now using this in our home. Though I do have a question for all of you – have you found a probiotic (that does not need to be refrigerated) that your children like to take? Someone recommended Rainbow Light’s gummies. Any suggestions? Thank you and best wishes all!
Catherine
Hi there, may I ask what probiotics you are giving your children? I am looking for something that does not need to be refrigerated. We parents are taking this product, mentioned above, but I am wondering about gummies like Rainbow Lights.
Thank you and best wishes Mamas!
Leah
I was wondering if you take a prebiotic with this?
Kendra Nicholson
I do not see it in your pantry list anymore does that mean you no longer recommend it?
Cindy
Your current pantry list does not include this. Is this still the best probiotic you recommend?
Mylie Cottingham
Not sure if the author still recommends this product but it should be noted that since she wrote this blog, Prescript Assist has been reformulated. Kris Kresser previously recommended it, and no longer does so. I don’t take it any longer.
https://store.chriskresser.com/pages/prescript-assist-announcement
Hena
Is it safe for a 8 months old baby?
Tania
Probably a great product and I’d try it for my son who has autism had we not found one that has corrected his gut issues, is d-lactate fee and even though it has a higher upfront cost, it’s a fraction of the cost since it lasts at least 6 months. Plus ours is a powder. I keep the one we have in the fridge but it can remain at room temperature for up to 2 weeks while maintaining 260B /g on date of expiry. I don’t want to appear like I’m promoting any brand but if you google d-lactate free probiotic it should come up. It’s also ships to Canada!
Nina
Heather – you don’t mention whether spore based probiotics such as Thrive are suitable for pregnant or lactating ladies. I’ve read that they are not, but am curious as to your thoughts.
Heather
That’s a great question, but unfortunately there’s no one definitive answer. Some people say they are totally fine and even beneficial during pregnancy/lactation, while others say they’re not. Like most probiotics and other supplements, the label simply says to consult a physician before taking them if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. My takeaway from that is that the answer depends on a persons individual situation and health needs, and that a conversation with a practitioner is best for determining what’s appropriate.
Jacqueline Muscha
I am not getting paid for this comment, but I wanted everyone to know that I have tried and currently use Just Thrive Probiotics. They have been the best probiotics I have ever tried, and I have tried everything from the generic to name brand. I have never seen any probiotic clear up my skin and help with constipation like this one does. I cannot say whether it helps with leaky gut or not because I have not technically been diagnosed with that, but I have nothing but rave reviews for it. I actually joined their subscription service because I was so impressed. I give it to my children also. Just open a capsule and put it in their water for them to drink. If you have not had any success with a probiotic yet, I highly recommend you try Just Thrive.
Mahima
Thank you so much for sharing recipes.Great blog!!!
Kioi
very informative thanks for sharing.
Cathy C
Good thing you stopped taking Prescript-Assist — turns out that a testing facility confirmed that the product contains 10 ppm of Lead in 1 Gram!!!
