I used this one. Not being a troll this is the only one with Reuteri and Rhamnosus

Thats interesting. Ive looked at these exact strains in this product in another product. This other product is probably going to be much cheaper, at a higher dosage and can be found at walgreens. Im not endorsing this, but just so people know.

RepHresh Pro-B

They are finding comparable species of bacteria in both womens and mens urogenital tracts.
This also leads me to think about birthing, and what types of bacteria might transfer to the placenta or could be considered unique or important.

New studies uncover probiotics’ influence on sperm quality, say researchers

04-Mar-2019 By Nikki Cutler

Recent studies revealing a probiotic’s ability to manage male sub-fertility with co-existing chronic pain and obesity, will significantly boost scientific interest in probiotics for infertility treatment, researchers revealed during the recent Probiota conference.

I believe this was sourced from a female.

The best I ever felt was a shot of Chrysocor which is made from the placenta, it gave me the best erections and the best feeling of well being after taking it, I think it lasted about a week. It was about $120 a shot at the time.

Thanks great news man!

I’m on 2 days of probiotic.
I perceive good point and bad.
GOOD
I slept really well this two days. I am not satisfied with 7hours sleeping.btw, I didn’t have severe isomnia.
BAD
I have brain fog heavier than before.(tbh I don’t know it’s related)

I took NOW brand 2.5 billion one,which is not including acidphilus.I’ll stop this today.

Also I have California brand one,which is including it.
In a few days, I will take the latter.

Just an update on this. The past two days I’ve tried a probiotic capsule designed for ‘maintaining healthy vaginal flora’ (funny right). It contains the following components:
1.15 billion CFU Lactobacillus Rhamnosus
1.15 billion CFU Lactobacillus Reuteri

After lunch, I emptied out around 60-70% of the powder in the capsule, and had it after the meal.

Both yesterday and today a similar effect happened.
I felt much more emotionally ‘here’. Penis sensitivity went from low to very high. Running fingertips over my penis was almost like an overstimulating sensation.
Libido is elevated, erections are fuller. Glans seems to inflate while it usually doesn’t. Appetite is boosted and taste sensation is as well.

The downsides seem to be harder to get to sleep as well as occasional pain on the side of the glans and the tip of the urethra.

Overall, some real benefits. I’m a little wary of taking it every day, lest the effects wear off or if I crash.

I’m also perplexed as to how it can have an effect so fast considering probiotics really need to take hold in the gut before exerting a bioactive effect I thought. Well even if it turns out to be a placebo effect, it certainly feels very real!

Can you link the brand you’re using?

I myself take these strains. I feel the results the next day. Check your balls you will notice them get bigger and heavier.

Yes, I do. It just provides a surprising improvement across the board.

Effects seem to be persisting. Shame about the insomnia it gives me. Makes it really hard to fall asleep, though once I do I can sleep a good 7 hours.

@Stronguy, how long have you experienced this for? How long have you been taking the probiotics? Do you ever skip days or continue to take them daily?

I take 2 little capsules each night, I skip a couple days during the week when I sleep at the girlfriends house. Been doing it consistently for about a month now. I do take other things but I believe these probiotics are a staple in my recovery.

I should mention my genetic analysis says I do not have good gut bacteria health with the trade off off being able to store b12 easily. The gene is FUT2

Just did further analysis on my FUT2 gene (rs602662). I am classified as a non-secretor. This means I have reduced risk of getting rotavirus, norovirus and h. Pylori. Because of the lack of H. Pylori, my b12 is very high. Conversely, I am at higher risk of Candida, Haemophilius influenza, Neisseria meningitis and Streptococcus pneumonia. I do remember getting pneumonia a lot as a child. The paper also states that this gene expression causes the gut bacteria to not communicate properly, simulating low gut bacteria environment. They bring up that germ free mice are leaner than conventional mice, and when the mice become conventionalized, they gain fat. My gene is associated with a leaner body and higher b12, less gut bacteria communication and pathogen risk listed above with resistance to h. Pylori and norovirus and rotavirus.

Here is the paper:

Which company did u use for analysis?

I started with 23andme. Then I used that data and used a 3rd party called puregenomics.ca

Seems I am the only one who has bad reaction to probiotics. I tried particularly this one and it made my PFS symptoms much worse.
I am sharing the ingredients if anybody has an idea what could be the bad thing here?

What was your recovery like? Can you describe to what degree your sexual symptoms disappeared? Penis size and erections returned to fully normal for example?

I also have had bad reaction to probiotics - I used Sungenomics stool test where they look at what strains you are lacking and forumlate a special custom probiotoc for you - it made my symptoms worse but I have returned to baseline - it wasnt a huge crash or anything but my skin felt more numb

Looking at the past couple of posts here, first that long laundry list of all those “probiotics” make very little sense to be combining so many different strains. Probiotics should be treated like a drug. Most of the market has no idea what they are putting out there.

Some of these comments should be noted,
“Bacteria made my PFS symptoms much worse.”
“Bacteria made my skin feel more numb”

Some of what truly might be “PFS” might only be found out the hard way unfortunately.
