Threelac
Threelac is the most popular probiotic supplement for Candida in the marketplace today. Created in 2001 by Japanese scientists, it contains 3 types of live bacteria that promote intestinal health and prevent Candida overgrowth.
Threelac was tested in a clinical research study conducted by Dr. Gary Shima of the Californian Health & Longevity Institute. He found that "after 30 days on Threelac, averaging three packets daily, 8 of the 9 subjects showed reduction of Candida antibody levels."
The study also showed that patients taking Threelac saw a reduction in symptoms like "headaches, fatigue and lethargy, heartburn and indigestion, mental concentration, numbness, joint pain and stiffness, skin rash, and allergy symptoms."
Threelac is easily available online, but make sure you buy the real version. It is distributed by Global Health Trax - click here for more info. A typical pack costs $49.95 for about 6 weeks worth of Threelac packets.
How does Threelac work?
Threelac is a dietary supplement that supports a healthy digestive function. It contains three live bacteria - Bacillus Coagulans, Bacillus Subtilis, and Enterococcus Faecalis - and uses a unique micro-encapsulation process that allows the bacteria to pass through your stomach and into the small intestine.
The micro-encapsulation process basically encloses the friendly bacteria in small capsules. Without these, the bacteria would quickly be destroyed by the acidic environment of the stomach. The capsule allows these helpful bacteria to get where they are needed - next to the Candida overgrowth in your intestine.
Probiotics can be taken at any stage of the Candida diet, but are most effective in Stage Three, after you have gone through the Detox and Elimination stages and you have eliminated the Candida overgrowth. Once this excess Candida growth has gone, Threelac will help to repopulate your intestine with beneficial microflora. The Threelac bacteria restore your pH balance and actively compete with Candida for food sources in your gut, thus reducing the likelihood of another overgrowth.
Does Threelac contain yeast?
One thing that confuses many people about Threelac is that is contains 'refined yeast powder'. Can this be right for a product that markets itself as a Candida remedy? Well actually it can.
The bacteria in Threelac need yeast to survive. This small amount is absolutely necessary, otherwise the bacteria would die of hunger before they ever reached the site of the Candida!
Should you worry that this yeast may make your infection worse? Definitely not. The amount included in Threelac is so small that it will have no effect on your existing infection.
How do you take Threelac?
You should take one pack of Threelac a day when you start the course. Add the powder to half a cup of water and drink. If after a few days you have seen no effects, then you can gradually increase your dosage. The final amount varies by person but can be up to five packets a day.
Some care is needed in the storage of Threelac. Keep it at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Each packet should be consumed within 24 hours of opening.
Reader Feedback
"I've taken quite a few courses of antibiotics for various reasons along with birth control for 10 years. Perfect recipe for Candida. My symptoms for years have been chronic yeast infections, major constipation where I don't go to the toilet for 5 or 6 days. The worst symptom is the extreme fatigue as in I need to sleep 10-12 hours a night and even when I wake up I feel unrefreshed and drag myself through the day. It's just so depressing to not have energy to enjoy life. I've even put of having kids because I see my friends and know I won't have that energy to be a good mother. I've been to numerous doctors doctors and have had every blood test possible and everything has shown up normal."
"I came across the Candida diet 6 months ago. I've cut out all the Candida diet no no's although I find it difficult to stick to the diet strictly. I've also taken the antifungal oregano oil and grapefruit seed extract. Doing all this has made a little difference but not much. I've read about Threelac but living in Dubai I have to order it from the UK. So I finally decided to give it a go and within 1 week I was already feeling better. It's been 1 month and I can't believe the difference. It's been years since I've felt this good.. I'm now considering getting pregnant since I still have a little time."

Threelac Side Effects
Threelac can be taken with other drugs and anti-fungal medicines. Pregnant or breast-feeding women and those with serious medical conditions should consult their doctor before taking any supplement.
Some anti-fungal drugs can harm your liver, but Threelac's live bacteria are perfectly safe. You may experience some symptoms of the fungal 'die-off', but this is not a side-effect, rather the sign that the Candida yeast is being killed. Some flare-ups may involve rashes or itchy skin, or a brief exacerbation of previous Candida symptoms. If you notice any side effects, consult your doctor.
