Zbiotics Experience – Pros and Cons

I see Zbiotics come up a lot and figured I’d post my experience. I’m late 30’s and don’t drink very often anymore. When I do drink, I usually skip the happy phase, get tired, and then wake up feeling like shit. With multiple day hangovers. After drinking heavily the next few days I’d feel depleted emotionally and physically. With bad hangxiety. I basically gave up drinking even on big nights out. So I figured I’d try Zbiotics despite the mixed reviews and people saying it’s snake oil.

The good: – I get that happy energetic feeling drinking. Last night we stayed up until 2:30 am drinking and partying. It was a ton of fun. I felt like I was in my 20’s again. – My hangover is severely diminished. In fact, barely a hangover at all. It’s incredible I didn’t know I could feel this way after drinking. – My hangxiety that I would get for the next couple of days has disappeared. – I feel like I’m in my 20’s again. My ability to drink, have fun, and recover is great. I had 8-10 drinks last night and felt fine this morning. There’s no way I could feel this way just because of a placebo.

The bad: – Price Point: $12 a bottle – I sleep like absolute shit. Like an hour or two sleep at best. I guess for some people they sleep better on it? But not me. I was wired all night. – I do get some pretty rough anxiety/higher heart rate late at night on it. Normally my resting heart rate when I sleep is ~50bpm and on Zbiotics my heart was ~75-80. And at one point even hit 105. This is probably why I get bad sleep. Both times I’ve taken it I’ve found myself in bed at around 3:30 am or so feeling a bit anxious and have a high heart rate. But I also did binge drink both nights.

Overall, for me I find it very worth it even for how expensive it is. I’d gladly pay $12 to have a fun energetic night out and not feel awful the next day. At the same time, because of the high heart rate I get at night, I get a bit nervous about making it a common occurrence. It just freaks me out a bit that I’m taking this serum and how wired I feel late at night. But either way, for health reasons I will just reserve it for special occasions (weddings, bachelor parties, etc.) I will continue not to drink outside of those big occasions. But for those nights it’s a godsend.
