How Long to Use Threelac

Threelac is a probiotic supplement that contains three forms of bacteria that produce lactic acid. The bacteria include Bacilus coagulans, Bacilus subtillus and Enterococcus faecalis. These bacteria help balance the gastrointestinal tract and slow the growth of harmful and pathogenic bacteria in people of good health, while boosting the immune system and combating certain strains of yeast and fungi, according to candida-yeast-problems.com. The length of time taking Threelac varies by individual need.

  1. Dosage and Duration

    • Begin taking Threelac once a day for one week. Dissolve a packet of the powder in your mouth before a meal, and then drink 4 to 6 oz. of water. For weeks two and three, consume one packet before breakfast and one before dinner. For week four, increase to three packets a day, one before breakfast, lunch and dinner, according to candida-yeast-problems.com. How long you continue this regimen will depend on your satisfaction with the results (i.e. energy improvement, yeast disappearance, overall well being, etc.). You can stop at any time or continue after four weeks with a daily dose of one packet. According to thrushfree.com, results are often noticed within seven days, but can take as long as six months, depending on the amount of yeast overgrowth.

    Expected Results

    • After using Threelac, you may experience relief from candida (yeast) symptoms including lethargy, heartburn, anxiety, intestinal bloating and gas, acne, headaches and vaginal infections, according to the finchleyclinic.co.uk.

    Possible Side Effect

    • Be aware of symptoms that can mimic side effects of Threelac, such as flare-ups of a rash or itchy skin. You may also experience worse Candida symptoms for a period of time. These are not true side effects but rather evidence of the Candida yeast being killed off, according to thecandidadiet.com. Consult with your doctor to be certain.
