Threelac Frequently Asked Questions.
[ click our 'contact' link if you have a question not answered here]

Is Threelac Safe?
Threelac has been deemed safe and pure based on exacting tests performed by the American Food and Drugs Administration.

What is in Threelac?
Threelac contains 3 types of lactic acid producing bacterial strains, (lactic acid sporenges), therefore the names you will see; Threelac, Three-lac 3-lac or 3lLac.

Lactobacillus Bacteria are transient in the digestive tract, they do not colonise, they last a few days after consumption, whilst active they shift the intestinal environmental conditions towards beneficial bacteria and create environment where harmful bacteria and fungi such as candida cannot survive. This will allow your normal beneficial bacteria to recolonise and crowd out problem bacteria such as candida. They also play a role in normalising cholesterol (rabbits on a high cholesterol diet were given Lactic acid bacteria which resulted in a 90% reduction of serum cholesterol).

Digestive Disorders and Dysbiosis
Lactobacillus Sporenges was found to inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms such as candida in laboratory animals with bacterial dysbiosis, and resulted in the renewal of desirable gastrointestinal organisms to normal levels. Reports have suggested that supplementation produces a rapid resolution of acute gastrointestinal infection induced by pathogenic bacteria in calves.

It has also been reported that the efficacy of treatment in patients with bacterial dysbiosis receiving L sporogenes was 20-30 percent higher than traditional probiotics such as Lactobacillus acidophilus of Bifidobacteria. [Smirnov VV, Reznik SR, V'iunitskaia VA, et al. The effect of the complex probiotic sporolact on the intestinal microbiocenosis of warm-blooded animals. Mikrobiol Z 1995;57:42-49.]

Constipation
Seventy percent of individuals suffering from chronic constipation treated with 300-750 million spores per day of L. sporogenes for two to 10 days experienced an amelioration of abdominal distention and a normalization of stools. [Dhongade RK, Anjaneyulu R. Maharashtra Medical J 1977;23:473-474.]


Should I Still Be Taking Acidophilus?
Threelac is compatible with other essential friendly Flora such as acidophilus and bifidus, but it does not replace them. If you think that your essential flora needs replenishing after anti-biotics then please add these. Please Note - Active Enzymes Formula also contains these essential probiotic bacteria as well as crucial enzymes to help normalise your digestion.

Why is Streptococuss Faeccalis in Threelac - Isn't that Toxic?
First of all 'streptococcus' just means 'berry shaped' and the name is given to many strains of bacteria that are 'berry shaped'. There are toxic streptococcus bacillus and they get a lot of press. The strains used in Threelac are 'lactic acid' producing bacteria and produce a beneficial environment in the intestines - lactic acid in the intestines is said to act like a natural antibiotic.

I'm Lactose Intolerant Can I still Take Threelac?
Lactic acid producing bacteria should not be confused with lactose which is a milk sugar which can cause intolerance in a small propertion of the population deficient in the enzyme lactase. Some studies have shown that Lactic Acid Producing bacteria can actually help break down dairy products into simple sugars.

Why Is There Yeast In Threelac?
First of all not all yeasts inflame candida, some yeasts are living and some such as brewers yeast are dead after they have been used in fermentation.
There is a small amount of yeast, a nutritional yeast, in the Threelac and it's job is act as a food source for the Threelac lactobacilli until they can get through the stomach acids and do their job. This amount of yeast won't enflame the candida simply because the numbers of Threelac organisms that survive the stomach acids are very high. So it won't inflame Candida but be careful if you have an allergy. Some people do have sensitivities to this yeast, or to the lemon flavored powder, and may not be able to take Threelac.

Why are there no Threelac testimonials on your site?
Most of the testimonials regarding Threelac would have you believe that if you have a sachet of Threelac at breakfast your candida will be gone by lunchtime.
This has not been our experience, nor has it been the experience from most of our customers, so we are not going to use that kind of miracle cure success story to entice you to buy.

Threelac has helped the majority of our customers who have tried it, we give a full money back guarantee and have very low return rates.

Our Feedback has been as follows:

a.) A larger propertion of customers have had success after a few weeks on Threelac, the effect has not  been instant but they have noticed slow but sure progress. 

Customers who have had Candida problems for over 10 years take longer as you would expect, some have taken up to 4 months to show improvement, and feedback from those who have had a long term candida problem have found it best to stay on some form of elimination diet.

b.)  A small proportion of people have had no success whatsoever with Threelac. 
Some when questioned did not follow our suggested protocol - we wouldn't expect anyone to get results without following the proper instructions.

Some might have had strains of candida that Threelac does not address - Although Threelac is the best candida management tool that we know of it does not address all strains.

c.) Then there are your 'instant' success stories. People who felt better from day one and made quick and steady improvement. Our feedback has shown us that a surprisingly large percentage of people do notice benefits almost from day one, or from the first two weeks, and make fast and steady progress.
We do not want to make a big thing of this as we do not want people to be disheartened if they don't see results straight away. We want them to take the full 2 months supply at our suggested protocol and to give it time to work and to investigate it honestly. We do not want customers to be conned into thinking if they take a lot of Threelac over a short period of time that they will get instant results.
