Is it possible to get Align on prescription?

[poing]

My GP says not.

Since its one of the few probiotics tested on people with constipation, I thought it might be an option.

Especially since the research on this probiotic was done at Manchester and in connection with the NHS.

Has anyone here had it prescribed?

You can buy it on Amazon. Unfortunately didn't help me. VSL3 is a probiotic an NHS dietician mentioned to me. I haven't tried it myself. Kind of given up on the probiotics.

I have also given up on probiotics.

Took probiotics for ages then decided not to take them and found there was no difference at all

my GP said probiotics are not available on NHS,I have tried everyone I have heard of that are supposed to be good but none really made much difference,I would say the best one was VSL3 but very expensive.

Udoschoice super 8 works great for me.

I have also tried a few probiotics, and expensive ones but none made a difference. My GI doctor and my GP say they don't work, but if they were to recommend it would be VLS3 , but not on NHS. I would spend my money on good magnesium citrate or oxide capsules that are not expensive. This is the only thing that has worked for me after trying everything including expensive prescription meds that I had to pay for myself. Look on amazon. There is one called Now magnesium citrate. I take 3 or 4 on an empty stomach at night.

Magnesium citrate was my first choice too, but it's not working as well as it used to unfortunately.

You should then try Magnesoum oxide. I use one for colon cleansing and is better them mag citrate. It is more expensive but worth every penny. Look on a site called the Finchley clinic. I use a product called Aerobic life mag 07. It is great for me, just 2 at night. You should try them. You can also call them for advice.

You can buy it over the counter.
