Hi! I've heard of it, but don't know much about it. I'll just recommend that you do NOT take the word of the companies trying to sell it to you.
I did a google search on it, and the only pages that came up were a sea of affiliate pages. If the benefits are in the immunoglobulins and other proteins, they'd be destroyed in your stomach. I used to work in a hospital lab, and patients who needed immunoglobulins were transfused with it - they can't turn it into a pill.
I looked at the Symbiotics website, and their main "research" was a case study of only four people! It sounds impressive that three out of four improved, but you could have given them placebos and they might have improved, anyway. It's only three people. *Bad Science.* Then there's the study of althetic performance, but they didn't even state the results. If it does improve performance, it's probably just because it's a really good source of protein - that's it.
Be wary of claims that it will cure the incurable: I'm sure if it really conquered MS or allergies, it would be all over the news.
