Fivelac is the successor to threelac one of the most popular probiotics for treating candida. I go through an extensive review of the fivelac probiotic.

1. By Probiotics Expert: Dr. Raga

2.  Fivelac is a probiotic which
contains an enhanced
formulation five potent beneficial
bacteria or microflora
incorporated in a lemon-powder
base.
 This is a newer version of
ThreeLac which only contains 3
strains of live microorganisms.
 A dietary supplementt which is
recommended for people who
suffer from Candida.

3. Each sachet of FiveLac Probitics has over 1 billion live
bacteria. The probiotics strains included are:
1. Bacillus coagulans
 A probiotic strain that aids in management of
occasional stomach and digestion problems.
2. Bacillus subtilis
 Beneficial bacteria which works by crowding out the
pathogens (bad bacteria) in the intestines.
3. Bifidobacterium longum
 Helps in smooth operation of the digestive system

4. 4. Enterococcus faecalis
 Belongs in the lactic acid bacteria group. This group
of bacteria exists naturally in the digestive tract of
humans. This is a result of the formulations done
under the strict conditions in laboratory setting.
5. Lactobacillus acidophilus
 Good bacteria that naturally inhabits the intestines.
When these bacteria breakdown nutrients, they
produce lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and other
by-products, which are all vital in the enhancement
of intestinal flora health.

5.  FiveLac Probiotics also contain other
ingredients such as:
 Refined yeast powder, dietary fiber as
galactomannan, fructo-oligosaccharides
(FOS), beta cyclodextrin, erythritol, lactose,
lemon juice powder, silica, canola oil.
 It is also has a maximum of 30 ppm casein
which is a substance that is derived from
milk.

6.  FiveLac Probiotics are a dietary supplement which
aids in maintenance of optimal digestive
function. It is formulated with five strains of
probiotics which are Bacillus Coagulans, Bacillus
Subtilis, Enterococcus Faecalis, Lactobacillus
acidophilus and Bifidobacterium longum.
 These are all made into small capsules using the
micro-encapsulation process. This enables the
bacteria to reach the intestines without being
killed by the stomach’s acidic environment.
 As these friendly bacteria reach the intestines,
they kill off the harmful Candida.

7.  FiveLac can be consumed at
any stage of the Candida diet.
 Once detoxification is started,
the intestines will be
replenished with beneficial
bacteria which helps in the
restoration of the gut’s pH
balance as well as food sources
for good bacteria residing
there. This prevents
overgrowth of Candida.

8.  In a clinical study conducted by Dr. Gary Shima of
the Californian Health & Longevity Institute, he
discovered that in 9 subjects who have been on
ThreeLac (former version of FiveLac) for 30 days
with an average of three packets per day, 8 of
them showed decrease in the levels of Candida in
the body.
 Some of the benefits from ThreeLac that were
found out from the study are reduced joint pain,
fewer headaches, less indigestion, better allergy
symptoms, Improved mental concentration, and
more energy.

9. 1. Dermatologic problems
 Acne, dry skin, itching, jock itch
2. Neuropsychiatric issues
 Anxiety, irritability, melancholy, lethargy
3. Compromised Immune system
 Extreme environmental allergies
4. Digestive disorders
 Extreme food allergies (lactose intolerance),
indigestion, heartburn
5. Reproductive system issues
 Vaginal yeast overgrowth and menstrual
problems

10.  Advised to be taken one packet a day for both
adults and children
 Can be taken either by emptying the packet
contents into the mouth followed by few ounces
of water or by mixing the powder to few ounces
of water and drink.
 For additional support, gradual increase in the
number of packs can be done in the first 60 days.
Then, the packets can be taken at any time of
day, either with or without meals.
 After 60 days, the maintenance amount can be
reduced by one packet each day.

11.  The packet should not be used if it is damaged or
torn.
 Should not be consumed when taking antibiotics
 Not advised for pregnant or nursing mothers,
with weakened immune system, if under medical
care
 Should be stored in a cool dry location; remove
from direct sunlight; no freezing or refrigeration
 Packets should be used within 24 hours of
opening

12.  Fivelac and Threelac have shown benefit, but
I personally believe Probacto is far superior.
 Probacto is the best probiotic that I have
ever run into. They use multiple strains and
they are spore forming so they can last while
not refrigerated. They do not use cheap
bacteria, but expensive ones such as B.
Subtilis.
 Probacto also contains prebiotics to help
stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in
your gut.
 Probacto contains digestive enzymes to
assist in your digestion.
 Probacto is enteric coated and made to be
slow release so it will release in your gut
gradually.

13.  Candida overgrowth is a major health issue. It
has several effects that could be detrimental to
health. This is because it may also affect the
other organs of the body such as the heart,
lungs, and brain. Due to this fact, Candida
overgrowth should be managed with
interventions that would ensure optimal results.
One of the preferred treatments is the
incorporation of probiotics into the diet.
Probiotics are very beneficial in combating the
health effects caused by Candida, especially in
the case of Candidiasis or Canadida infection.
