Reviews mention

  • Noticeable digestive relief reports

  • Sleek reusable glass packaging

  • Frequent nausea on empty stomach
  • Inconsistent efficacy over time
  • Fragile glass travel vial
  • Bulky capsules for swallowing

Seed earns polarized reviews: many report meaningful improvements in regularity, reduced bloating, and even clearer skin, while a sizable group sees no benefit—or experiences nausea, bloating, or stomach pain, especially when taken on an empty stomach. Reviews also praise Seed’s science-forward education, chic reusable glass jars, and compostable refills, but flag issues like required subscriptions, breakable glass travel vials, and accusations of greenwashing or poor account management.

  • I’m on day one…took a pill this morning. Right now it’s bedtime and I feel awful. There is a heads up on the bottle about this. It’s like I need to both throw up and go to the bathroom at the same time. The bloating is excessive. Not sure if I can continue taking it.

    Maybe some people need a smaller dose at first to get acclimated.

  • I tried this for a little less than a month and had to stop taking it. I have been a fan of spore based probiotics for a while and had been using another popular brand. This brand gave me acne along my cheeks and jaw. It was the only new product I had introduced that could've caused any issue and the acne cleared up after stopping my use of the product. I was disappointed because so many people have great experience with this product. Maybe this specific strain of probiotic just didn't work for me? Thats the beauty of bioindividuality though, it may work well for someone else. Overall I would say it is worth a shot for the potential gut health benefits, but be aware of the potential issues if this specific strain doesn't align with your body.

    The customer service response time could be better!

  • Amazing!

    I have struggled with constipation related to endometriosis and Seed has been a lifesaver for me!

  • At my doctor’s request I began taking probiotics for gut health and regularity. I never noticed and significant differences with the brands she recommended. So, I decided to try Seed after reading the scientific backing. Wow, what a difference Seed has made. I’m regular, have less bloating, and dark spots on my skin have started to lighten.

    Vitamins in general cause nausea on an empty stomach. Some days are better than others but I do try and eat immediately after taking them

  • I've been taking Seed for almost a year now and WOW. This product has improved my gut health tremendously. I have multiple grains and dairy sensitivity (I've tested for it) and I can now digest them with no problem. I can almost eat virtually anything without any of the problems I had before. It has also cleared up my skin tremendously. I have tried so many skin care products but I truly believe my gut health helped improve my skin. At one point due to USPS shipping, I missed my refill for several weeks. My skin was breaking out, irritated, red, etc. and once I was taking seed again a week later my skin had already cleared up. If you are considering trying Seed or taking a probiotic, I can't recommend it enough. It really changed my life, I will never not take it!

    Shipping - they ship through USPS (im sure its the cheapest option on their end) but USPS is awful. They lost two orders and I had to go through customer service to get new ones. It wasn't that big of a deal but other brands like Moon Juice use ups no problem.

  • Loved the packaging and the concept. To this day I still use the jar when I travel to hold all my pills. Also loved that when they sent refills it was in a biodegradable bag. I noticed a slight difference in my digestion after using them. It was just a little out of my budget to continue the subscription.

    Maybe offer a stronger dosage per pill?

  • The only pre & probiotic that’s worked for me!! Recommended by a friend after I had tried so many others recommended by physicians.

    Feedback

    Nothing

  • I recommend this probiotic to people ALL the time, it is pricey but it's the best quality probiotic I've found. I deal with digestive issues from endometriosis and taking Seed synbiotic has been a key component of my recovery from several surgeries.

    Feedback

    student discount would help a lot!!!

  • My experience is pretty neutral with this brand. I don't feel like it helped or hurt my situation. The packaging and social media is really great. Love the eco friendly refill packs. Overall, meh.

    Feedback

    Maybe make an extra strength version?

  • I LOVE Seed. I've taken it religiously for four years, including throughout my pregnancy (per doctor sign-off). Beyond the probiotic itself, the packaging is sustainable and they do great impact work.

  • I have been trying other probiotics and supplements for years, and nothing compares to Seed's full-stack solution. It helps with gut, hair, and skin health. I also started to see results very quickly unlike other solutions. I would highly recommend.

    Feedback

    I will say that the first few days are very hard on the stomach. Don't be surprised if you initially feel a bit of nausea, but it goes away with time.

  • Really amazing product - I think it helped me a lot with bloating.

  • Really inspired by the approach to science-backed wellness and the research devoted to the gut microbiome.

  • I take my seed every morning and have noticed both physical and mental improvements! Eg., I'm more energised in the evenings.
