What Makes Jigsaw's Essential Blend Probiotics Unique?
Jigsaw's patented formula - backed by extensive research - has been proven in more than 25 years of successful use. Essential Blend Probiotics utilizes five of the most effective human strains, including the proven L. acidophilus DDS-1. Each capsule is guaranteed to have a minimum of 25 billion live, friendly, active bacteria.
During manufacturing, each capsule is individually freeze-dried and nitrogen-packed to ensure the highest quality product is delivered to your doorstep. Once they arrive, follow the simple instructions we include, and your supply will maintain its potency and stability for up to two years.
How Does Jigsaw's Essential Blend Probiotics Compare To Other Probiotic Supplements?
We're very proud of the hard work we've done to ensure that unlike other probiotics, Essential Blend Probiotics:- Costs just $0.44 per day — compared to an average $0.89 per day for Primal Defense® and $1.01 for Primal Defense ULTRA®.
- Contains a guaranteed minimum 25 billion active friendly bacteria in each capsule so you need just one per day.
- Most probiotics typically contain less than 5 billion active bacteria in each capsule requiring you to take at least 5 per day — and often more — just to achieve the same level of effectiveness as Essential Blend Probiotics.
- Contains no FOS (or "prebiotics") that feeds the bad bacteria instead of the good, and which can cause bloating, cramping, and general discomfort if present in a probiotic formula.
- Has none of the calories found in yogurt or kefir, and has better quality and greater numbers of live, active cultures than those.
We encourage you to view the differences before making your own educated choice. Just know that we guarantee our Essential Blend Probiotics 100%. Healthier, happier friends and customers each have 25 billion reasons a day to gently nudge you into giving Essential Blend Probiotics a try — just one capsule a day.

Pros: Easy to take, it works Cons: none "I have to say that my IBS is kept in check largely due to these specific Probiotics. Of course my diet changed forever, but that alone did not bring me much relief. I researched all over the web for help and heard about Probiotics and was very impressed with Jigsaw Health's web site and how informative and unbiased the info was. I am a faithful user and a fan of the Essential Packets as well."

Background Information:
The intestinal tract contains 50 to 70 trillion bacteria. Some are friendly and help keep your digestive system balanced so you stay well. But some are unhealthy and do everything they can to kill off the friendly bacteria and make you sick.
Friendly bacteria can still be found in some foods like yogurt and kefir. But modern food preparation and preservation methods—along with the heavy use of antibiotics, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals—have helped to destroy many friendly microflora in the gastrointestinal tract.
In fact, studies at the Minneapolis VA hospital suggest that the average person no longer has desirable populations of friendly bacteria in their intestines.
By not maintaining the good bacteria your body needs to defend itself, you may be vulnerable to infection and illness. And this problem is even more pronounced among those with chronic health conditions. That’s why using an effective high-dose probiotic supplement is so important.
Yet, the few billion—or fewer—beneficial bugs found in each capsule of most low-dose probiotics are simply not enough for those with chronic conditions to get healthy.
Most probiotics manufacturers believe that they can solve this problem by adding more active strains to their supplements—sometimes 8 to 10 and even 14! But a greater number of strains only introduces a greater chance for bad or unproven bacteria to enter your system—or for the bugs to negatively react to each other.
Each capsule of Jigsaw Health's Essential Blend Probiotics contains a guaranteed minimum of more than 25 billion organisms of just five extra-strength and proven friendly active human strains: L. acidophilus DDS-1, L. rhamnosus, L. plantarum, B. longum, and B. bifidum. This effective and proprietary blend can help balance your intestinal flora and help you fight infection so you can begin to feel better.
Essential Blend Probiotics also contains no fructooligosaccharides (FOS), a prebiotic found in many probiotic supplements. Contrary to popular belief, FOS feeds ALL bacteria—not just good bacteria. For people with chronic health conditions, FOS can cause further digestive distress.
Did you know that unlike antibiotics, which means "to destroy life," probiotics literally means "life giving." Read about how probiotics might be the new antibiotics.
