About this item
- Research-backed formulation: other brands compensate for low-quality strains with inflated CFU counts, but their formulas lose potency when digested. Our vegan formula is based on Bacillus Coagulans *, a potent strain backed by years of research.
- Full benefits with UNI-BACT CF15: most probiotics use Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, which are solid choices—until they reach the stomach, where their survival rate is just 5-15%. Our bacillus coagulans is dormant in harsh conditions, so it isn’t killed by stomach acid. It retains high potency until it reaches the intestines.
- 62%+ longer stability: CFUs decline by 5% per month when probiotics are poorly packed in transparent glass. We counter this with a specially-made, fully recyclable PETE bottle that shields from heat, light, & oxygen, prolonging potency by more than 62%.
- Kinder on the gut: our formula undergoes in-vitro pH testing to help prevent stomach irritation. Our dietary fiber prebiotic Nutri-Fructo B-88 has a neutral ~6.3 pH. We also add lactase – an enzyme that helps fight bloating, diarrhea, and gas from lactose intolerance – and dicalcium phosphate, a gentle, non-constipating alternative to calcium carbonate.
- Made in the USA: producing in the USA means our probiotics undergo stringent checks. Every batch is tested for potency and the manufacturer is GMP certified. Our supplement is dairy and gluten free, contains no GMOs, and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. *Alternate nomenclature for bacillus coagulans – b coagulans and lactobacillus sporogenes.

Why choose our probiotics?
Our probiotics are designed for optimal uptake. Most brands rely on Lactobacillus, but its survival rate in the stomach is typically less than 15%. We use Bacillus Coagulans, which creates spores during its reproductive life cycle. It’s extra robust, survives stomach acid, and delivers its full benefits to your body.
We also add Fructooligosaccharide, a research-backed prebiotic, to keep your gut flora harmonious. We add an optimal dosage that works in synergy with Bacillus Coagulans.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
After a lot of research on probiotics in general, then hesitation on which brand to try - I landed on nutrition essentials. I was especially hesitant to try big box store brands given recent scandals in the actual ingredients in supplements (their weren't any of the claimed ingredients). As many of us know, supplements ingredients are not FDA regulated. Hopefully, some day that will change. Nutrition essentials has claims of independent verifications, and given their relatively low cost I decided to try them out. Not a whole lot to lose if there was no effect anyway.
So, I ordered a bottle of and started taking a dose in the morning, before breakfast, with warm-to-room temperature water. First thing I noticed was no after taste, or upset stomach of any sort. So far so good. A few days later, I noticed I was just generally feeling better, lighter... an absence of gastro issues.
Mind you, I wasn't having terrible issues to start with - just kinda gassy after certain foods, or I'd wake up with in the middle of night, with gastro discomfort usually resulting in a 15 minute trip to the bathroom. But all that started going away, and I realized I had more issues than I thought - now that I was feeling much better. The final push to try a probiotic was a round of antibiotics for a sinus infection that turned in a major jaw joint (TMJ) issue. The antibiotics just aggravated the gastro issues I already had. Also, I don't take any other supplements. I tried fish oil a while back for cholesterol, but didn't see any results and gave up on supplements in general.
But then, something unexpected happened. I ate hot buffalo style chicken wings and didn't have any gastro issues. I know, stupid to eat a food that makes one sick, but damn I love buffalo chicken wings - hot style with bleu cheese. I ate them, was anticipating the stomach pain and burning trip to the bathroom in the middle of night - but NOTHING. No pain. No issues. Everything normal. So I wanted to push it and see if I could eat anything else and not have issues. I could always eat cheese - but not ice cream or milk. I drank some milk - no issues. I ate ice cream - no issues. I honestly don't know if probiotics are supposed to have this kind of effect, but either way, I can eat things I couldn't before, now without issue.
It's nice to live without an anxiety of eating certain foods that I had before. Something else happened that was very odd. The rest of my family (wife and two young kids) all got terrible stomach viruses, vomiting... the works. And for the first time... I didn't catch whatever it was they had. None of us could believe it. Normally, if their sick for 2 days - that meant I'd be sick for 5 days no matter what. But not this time. Again, not sure if probiotics are known to have this kind of effect.
My wife started taking them now because neither of us can believe how much better I'm doing. She was on some strong antibiotics too, for other issues. I'm trying to talk my dad into taking them because he's gone through back-to-back rounds of antibiotics for oral/tooth infection issues. He's got heartburn so bad that he's afraid to eat anything. I'll bet it's because his good bacteria was wiped out and all that's left is bad bacteria and stomach acid.
So, so what... I can eat chicken wings and ice cream and milk again. But here's the best unintended side effect - because I see a real change (even a small one) in my health, it's kick started my motivation to get healthier. I ordered Nutrition Essentials Neuro Clarity (which unfortunate doesn't seem to be doing squat) and I started taking an off-the-shelf multivitamin. This has led to baby steps in working out which I'll then turn into motivation to use that gym membership I'm paying for. So for me, the twenty bucks is totally worth it.
In summary, I'm very pleased. I can eat foods that I couldn't before, I'm sick less and it kick-started a healthy mindset and action. For the price, it's really worth a try.
Now, this is important because a lot of prescribed medications are designed to suppress symptoms and not attack the root cause/illness. I'm not here to debate the effectiveness of Western Medicine, but I do know that I researched what the root issue for my eczema was and tried to treat it myself. It turns out that one of the most common issues related to Eczema is in your gut/diet. Long story short, I decided to cut a few things from my diet to see if I had any allergies and began taking this probiotic to help rebuild my gut. And after a month or so, my eczema (which I had all my life) BEGAN CLEARING UP.
Note 1: I doubt this probiotic alone would have healed my eczema, though it wouldn't have hurt. I found that my body was really not liking dairy. I always knew I was lactose intolerant (would get bloated/gassy), but it wasn't when I cut out dairy completely that I found that I had lived in a state of sickness for a LONG time and just got used to it. I had more energy, and generally just felt stronger after about a month of no dairy. So, the probiotic definitely helped rebuild the damage allergens did to my gut/stomach, but my issues with eczema originated in my diet.
Note 2: If you ARE like me and struggle with eczema, I suggest you do an elimination diet which consists of removing major allergens (corn, gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, excess sugar like candy) for a period of time (3-4 weeks). I know, there's not much you can eat (salads, rice and beans, chicken/beef). If one of these was contributing to your eczema, you should notice a significant difference. After a few weeks, begin introducing one ingredient back at a time. If you notice your eczema getting itchy again (for me it was within minutes/hours of eating it), or if you just feel worse, you might have identified an allergen. Avoid this, obviously. Trust me, I love pizza SO MUCH but it's not worth the pain and general detriment to your overall health!
Note 3: If you DO the elimination diet like mentioned in Note 2 to specifically help with your eczema, PREPARE FOR IT TO GET WORSE BEFORE IT GETS BETTER. In the first couple of weeks, my eczema got worse. I began to flare up in other parts of my body that I've never had eczema on. STICK WITH IT. It's the toxins leaving your body through your skin. I wanted to quit. I cried. It was painful and excruciatingly itchy. Ice packs help! But IT WILL GET BETTER. It has to get worse before it does... just remember this!
Note 4: I'm not a doctor, nor am I trained in any field of health. Please take all of this with a very large lump of salt, knowing that it definitely helped me but might not help you.
Finally: I recommend this product 100%. IT WORKS, it's not a fake. It's affordable, and helps in so many different ways (as you can see by reading any of these reviews). I will continue to take it to regulate my gut health.
