**PLEASE NOTE: While Mercola DID provide me with these products to review at no cost, I was not in any way paid for my review. The following opinion is hereby my own.**
Earlier in the year, I had a much-dreaded visit to the dentist. And then the endodontist after that. You know how THAT goes.
Apparently, two of my very old root canals had gone bad, and I had to have them redone! What on earth?! I had no idea that could even happen! I was none too pleased, either!
The process was not too fun at all, and included several round of some pretty heavy antibiotics. This I did NOT like, for two reasons:
1. I have two autoimmune disorders, and, although antibiotics aren’t great for anyone, they’re REALLY BAD for people with autoimmune disorders! ACK!
2. I used to get a good probiotic from my mom, but my parents have recently retired to the North Georgia mountains, 9 hours away from me! I had no idea where to start when looking for a probiotic on my own! And I KNEW I would need a powerful one after all of those antibiotics!
Enter the lovely Joan from Mercola, who shot me an email to see if I’d like to review Dr. Mercola’s probiotics! Impeccable timing, that Joan! Of course, I was excited to test them out!
Now, let me stop right here and say: I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. Don’t you go acting like this blog post is medical advice and that I’m the authority on this. I’M TOTALLY NOT! But, I DO know my body very well, and I DO know how it functions when it’s being hit with antibiotics, and how it feels while it’s being restored with probiotics. My own experience is what this post is based on!
Mercola shipped me a lovely box which held the following:
Fermented Chlorella (450 tablets per bottle)
Immune Support* Herbal Complex capsules (60 per bottle): 30 Day Supply
Silver Hydrosol – fine mist (2oz)
Complete Probiotics (60 per bottle): 30 Day Supply
Spiru-Blue (120 Tablets): 30 Day Supply
As I pulled each of the afore-mentioned products out of the box, I sat with my iPad and looked them up on the website for more information. Let me STRONGLY encourage you to visit Dr. Mercola’s website! It is probably one of the most informative sites I’ve ever made use of! Each of these products has a page chock full of TONS of info! For example, when you check for the Complete Probiotics, you find a video, listed benefits, questions and answers, warnings, ingredients, test results, scenarios, quality, criteria, facts, product labels and MORE! If you have a question about the product, this website will definitely answer it for you, in a clear and concise manner, too!
So…why would you need any of these products? Here’s a brief list of what I discovered! Remember: I am NOT a medical professional. The following is based on my own personal results while using these products!
Fermented Chlorella: Kept my blood sugar regulated, and apparently does the same for blood pressure!
Immune Support Herbal Complex: Ummm, hello. Don’t we ALL need immune support? And for what it’s worth, I haven’t been sick once since I started taking this! (And this is coming from the girl who has a new cold every month!)
Silver Hydrosol: This is kind of like an all-purpose deal. Sore throat, skinned knee (don’t jog in the rain, folks, it’s not safe), puffy eyes…all cleared up and taken care of!
Complete Probiotics: In case you’re not familiar with probiotics, they basically replace all of your “good” bacteria that gets killed by things like antibiotics. Great for the digestive system!
Spiru-Blue: This helps with digestion, and for all the stomach issues I have, I didn’t have even one bad day while I was taking this product!

I hate going to the dentist. I had the same thing happen with old root canals. I need to look into these probiotics.
I hate going to the dentist too. Unfortunately, I think I might have a cavity so I will be heading over there soon.
Well I am happy you found something that works and is in tune with your system and restrictions. This is a great alternative when we want to stay away from antibiotics
I think I need to try this. I was on probiotics for awhile but this combo seems great. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t even want to think about the dentist!! As for probiotics I have used one or two and they seem to help with my digestion which is not the best. I will go into the site and check it out for myself to see if any of the ingredients are a no no for me.
I’d love to try a few of these. A giveaway is a perfect way to try them out.
I haven’t tried probiotics. But hopefully I win and then I can.
I have seen commercials about Probiotics but had no idea what they were good for. Thanks for explaining. Looks like some wonderful products and how timely for your situation.
I will look into these probiotics In case I need to replace the once I use.
I keep hearing how good probiotics are for maintaining gut health. I always have stomach problems so maybe it is time I thought about incorporating them into my diet.
I have taken probiotics. I do think they help with my gut health.
I have taken probiotics before! I like to try new ones.
I have never tried them before. But from what I read I need them .
Yes, I have taken a probiotic before.
I try to take probiotics every day.
Eww yucky, the dentist! We have used probiotics at times with Rory. We had good luck with them.

I had no idea Mercola had these. I do trust his views and am interested in the fermented items especially.
