The good bacteria that resides in your gut affects many parts of your health like the condition of your skin, oral health, urinary and vaginal health. It can be hard to get the necessary amount of good bacteria from the food you eat so many will rely on a probiotic supplement in order to get their daily recommended dosage. This review is going to take a closer look at one such supplement called Sunbiotics Potent Probiotics with Organic Yacon Root Prebiotics. This product is a probiotic dietary supplement that is combined with Yacon Root. Yacon Root contains naturally occurring prebiotics which stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria and are non-digestible food ingredients that selectively stimulate the growth of lactobacilli and bifidobacteria in the colon. The manufacturer claims that taking this product will help aid in digestion and restore a proper balance of flora in your digestive system that has been run down by stress, antibiotics, and gastrointestinal disturbances.
Ingredients
- Prebiotic Blend (Organic Raw Yacon Root Powder) – 250 mg
- Probiotic Blend (Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum) – 50 mg
Other Ingredients: Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Vanilla Flavor, Silica
This product contains four of what are believed to be the most effective and beneficial probiotics. Lactobacillus works by breaking down nutrients for the body to use and creates byproducts such as lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide which create a hostile environment to certain organisms that are harmful to you. The Bifidobacterium bifidum functions by aiding the synthesis of B-complex vitamins and vitamin K in the intestines and also promotes bacterial balance and optimal digestion. Bifidobacterium lactis works by fighting off damage caused by bad bacteria and helps aid in digestion. Bifidobacterium longum helps maintain a normal digestive tract, stops the growth of harmful bacteria and boosts the immune system.
Yacon Root has a high fructooligosaccharides content that acts as a prebiotic in your digestive tract and that stimulates the growth of beneficial bacteria.

Sunbiotics Potent Probiotics with Organic Yacon Root Prebiotics Review – Conclusion
This product appears to be a promising tool that can help restore a balance in your digestive tract. It stands apart from other probiotic supplements on the market because it contains the added benefits of Yacon Root. However, it appears that the formula may be flawed because many consumers reported that taking this product caused them to experience severe abdominal cramping and other adverse side effects. Others reported that this product did not have any effect on their system and that it is a waste of money. Furthermore, the manufacturer does not offer a money-back guarantee which is especially risky considering the negative consumer reports.
