Popular anti candida products
Over 10 years since we introduced them to the UK, Threelac and it’s sister product Fivelac are still the two most popular anti candida products we provide, and still getting great results (well, at least where they are used reasonably patiently, and where a fairly low sugar and low alcohol diet is maintained).
Here are some unsolicited customer reviews:
Best product on the market. Works better with a balanced diet. This taken with caprylic acid my candida was gone in 4 weeks after years of suffering!!
Threelac is the first product that has helped me with candida. Soon after taking it, it seemed suddenly as if the whole of my insides feel better better and happier, especially helping with constipation. I have been taking it for 5 months taking 1-2 per day. I started feeling better within a few days.
This product seems to have a miraculous effect on my (super sensitive) digestive system; I’m not sure if I actually have low-level Candida but the symptoms are similar. I usually take one sachet per day before a meal but sometimes increase it to 2 or even 3 times per day if I’m likely to be eating food that’s normally a bit too rich for me to digest. I always plenty on holiday with me and have also found it can calm an upset stomach.
Through the use of Threelac and various other supplements, I was able to get my long standing candida problem under control. I was taking at one stage 5 packets a day, but you need to work up to this gradually. Now I find if my diet has been poor, I take a packet from time to time to keep everything maintained. It seems to be working and I no longer have an issue with my candida.
I have been using this product for years and it’s the only thing that helped when I first started using it for my candida. I used to have awful symptoms with terrible inflamed boils on my skin, especially around my neck, and within weeks this had cleared. Really recommend it..you won’t get it cheaper anywhere else either
Threelac is the best thing ever! It has helped me greatly with my candida overgrowth symtoms of chronic fatigue. I began to improve a few weeks after I started using it, stopped using it when I no longer needed it, but now I am back for more, as I am in a bit of trouble again.
I was always a little sceptical about trying products for candida especially as they can be expensive. I have tried so many over the years and none have worked. I reached a point in my life where I was just so poorly, I was bloated, I looked pregnant, my joints hurt, I was lethargic and felt very low. I decided to give Threelac a try and wow, what a difference. I did make the ultimate mistake though, I finished the course, started feeling better so decided to discontinue using it (mainly because of the cost). Within a few weeks things started to go down hill. My tummy was bloated again, I was tired, no energy and just wanted to sleep all the time. Once I re-purchased it the symptoms again di …(more)
I have been taking Threelac, on and off, for over 10 years now. I started taking it after the birth of my third child when as well, as post natal depression, my body went ‘AWOL’! My whole system threw a wobbly, well a lot more than that actually. My hair started to fall out, the skin on my fingers and toes would crack open revealing deep fissures, I found I couldn’t remember the names of everyday objects, my digestive system seemed to stop operating altogether. My skeletal system felt so week I could hardly stand long enough to peel a few potatoes!I would experience excruciatingly painful stomach cramps which would have me crying out in pain all night and eventually resulted in my being admi …(more)
I’ve had candida since I was 20 (though I didn’t realise it then), and I am now 65. There are very few things that hves done anything that help me. It has reduced it down to a level where I don’t feel ill all the time. I still have to be very strict with my diet, and avoid all carbohydrates. But before I found threelac I was still strict with my diet, and I still felt crap. Now I am strict with my diet, but feel good, and don’t get the foggy brain, the painful joints and muscles, pain around my liver and body odour that my wife complained about. I need to mention that at first I felt worse. I phoned the advice line, and Mark Lester was confident that this was a die-off reaction, and I sho …(more)
My wife has long term neuropathy affecting her hands and feet, but also causing poor digestion and constipation. The constipation also causes poor sleep and lethargy. Oxy-Powder worked at first for the constipation, but soon stopped working. But Threelac works consistently and reliably and never stopped working, at least not in the 3 years she has been taking it. I would say this product has been literally a life saver for her. I used to suffer from awful bloatendess. Within a couple of months of taking 2 per day for a week then one per day, I had a terrific boost to my bowel movements too and no more bloatedness which has been maintained when I stopped taking it. My wife needs to take t …(more)
My wife cured of a candida infection in her digestive system (medium to high intensity) that she has been fighting with for 10 years. She’s got the condition after a herpes zoster infection and nothing has helped her. She had kept a strict diet with no sugars, no fermented staff, and so on, which alleviated a little the symptoms, but never got rid of them. After a thorough research I’ve discovered fivelac and more I was reading about the way it works, we became convinced to give it a try. So we did, we bought the 6 box offer and she has been taking 2 sachets per day, one in the morning and one in the evening till all the 6 boxes had been finished. There are more than 5 and a half years since …(more)
I cannot recommend Fivelac highly enough. I suffered for years with systemic candida which resulted in great vulval & urinary pain/discomfort. I had endless visits to my local Genito-urinary clinic & whilst the prescribed medication eased the symptoms of thrush, no medical professional could help with all my other symptoms. I saw many specialists without result so started to research to help myself……..so discovered threelac which worked. And I simply upped it to Fivelac as more of the good bacteria could only do good. The only downside I found was constipation (I do not know if it was definitely caused by the product) which is when I started using the oxy colon cleanse products. …(more)
Within 24 hours of taking fivelac and going on the candida diet the depression in my brain cleared. Finchley Clinic Editorial note: We contacted this customer to check what she was saying was accurate, as it’s very rare for anyone to respond that fast. She said was very sensitive, and tended to react very quickly to products. She said it was true, she had taken 3 sachets per day, and started noticing the benefits on the second day. She said she was not completely cured, but there was a big improvement. She did not think the anti candida diet she had begun was the main reason she had improved as she ate a low sugar diet anyway. She attributed it mostly to Fivelac.
I was very ill after having my fourth baby, so ended up in hospital on a cocktail of 3 IV anti biotics and went home two weeks later on oral antibiotics, within a few weeks I had severe stomach pain, crawling skin feeling on my back, upset stomach, rosacea, lethargy, athletes foot and psoriasis, foggy head etc and the list could go on! I realised what was going on after knowing someone years back who had suffered from a yeast infection, the doctors wouldn’t hear of it, telling me to eat sugar and yeast as normal due to feeding a baby, I discovered threelac and then tried fivelac and they coupled with a strict no sugar diet for a year made me well, I can now tolerate small amounts of sugar in …(more)
Threelac became a vital part of my life over two years ago, when I realised that candida control was essential in managing my Crohn’s disease. I introduced Fivelac for those times when I felt I needed something ‘extra’ – if for example I suffered an upset stomach while travelling, or felt that a Crohn’s attack was imminent. Suffice to say that since I started this regime, my Crohn’s has been pretty much completely under control for the first time in my adult life. Threelac and Fivelac are amazing products, and I simply wouldn’t be without either, ever again.
I have been giving Fivelac to my son for a few weeks now and am extremely happy with it. I use it in conjunction with Bio Kult and Medcare ointment. His Athletes foot has almost completely cleared, and his tummy issues seem 100% better to. He seems a much happier boy, so I am a very happy Mum! Thank you Finchley Clinic!
Since taking fivelac I have been a lot lees bloated, and more ‘regular’. I feel my digestive system is working a lot more efficiently generally. All without needing to change my diet. I am also taking oxylift. I don’t know whether or not that also contributing to the effects of fivelac, but the oxylift does seem to have given me more energy.
I’ve used Threelac for years and more recently Fivelac when it became available with great results, but unfortunately I normally make the mistake of ‘opting out’ of the maintenance dose (recommended you continue to take one straw per day even when you feel really well). This means that I gradually get to feel worse again and one day wake up and think – I need to order some more fivelac + bio-kult and get things back on track. I never realised until recently that the good guys in 3 / 5 lac don’t live in your gut and need to be topped up regularly, so it looks as though I will have to have more discipline in future and continue with a low dose even when I feel good again.
My story could seem like most of the people’s. It goes back years when I suddenly had problem breathing, eating and my whole throat got dry. 7 years now I lived with that and recently in july after having multiple sugars, breads and milk, I got this feeling in my throat like someone threw plaster on my right throat. I couldnt eat at all,or breath andi felt like my throat was going to close. I went to the conservative doctors and due to my hospital job, I saw many doctors who couldnt help me. They presented me as a crazy person who needs therapy, that i have psychological problems and so on.all that because they couldnt figure out where did this problem come from and if it was real. Ohh yeah O can tell y …(more)
I have tried a number of products for candida, many of which have helped me to a degree, but fivelac has been the most effective one I have come across to date. I previously took threelac and 2 per day didnt help me, but 5 per day was very effective. But when fivelac became available I found that 2 sachets per day of fivelac had the same effect for me as 5 sachets threelacs. I have been able to get back to my old diet (bread, cheese, fruit and sweets in moderation) as a result of this. My main problems were pain and bloating after food. It also seems to have balanced my moods and reduced my tendency to panic attacks.
Threelac vs. Fivelac
Please note these figures below are based on the amount of live bacteria at the end of the products shelf life (i.e.. the expiry date). The manufacturers state that the amount of live bacteria at the point of manufacture is double that of the expiry date. Therefore the figures quoted below are minimum estimates of the number of live bacteria.

Why don’t they contain more zillion, billion live bacteria?
Those who think that the “critical” factor is the number of live bacteria, may notice that although not terrible, the number of live bacteria is not especially high compared with some products around the same price. Based on the great feedback we get for these products, I have come to the conclusion that the number of live bacteria is not the most critical factor in determining which product to go for. What is critical where it comes to probiotics to contain candida yeast overgrowth, is whether the strains therein are reasonably strongly anti-candidal. As probiotics re-produce with incredibly rapidity, this seems to be more important than the number of live bacteria per capsule or sachet. And in Threelac and Fivelac we have two of the more reliable products on the market.
Which is more effective, Threelac or Fivelac?
Our view, however unhelpful and confusing it may be, is that
- Fivelac is theoretically better than Threelac. But this is not true for everyone in practice. Regardless of the theory, some people find Threelac works better for them. We do not know the reason for this. We think the easiest explanation is just to say they are different.
- The general advice I am giving these days is to try Threelac first. If it doesn’t seem to be working after a couple of months on at least 2 sachets per day, then it’s well worth trying Fivelac and see whether that works better for you.
- What is far more important than worrying about which one to take, is to make a decision and take it persistently – anything from 1-6 sachets per day, depending on how sensitive you tend to be, and the severity of the problem. Our worst results, are ALWAYS with those individuals who dabble with products or take them when they can be bothered etc, rather than taking them every day.
- Although many people get better with Threelac and Fivelac alone, candida overgrowth syndrome can be a complex and stubborn problem. These products are in many cases only part of the answer. At the very least I always recommend them to be taken with one of the liquid oxygen products.
- Educate yourself on the subject of candida, by reading the articles.
The importance of Oxygen for Candida control.
Candida likes a sluggish, oxygen deficient environment. We always recommend candida sufferers to use a liquid oxygen product as well as taking probiotics.
These products have the following benefits : –
1) They are directly anti-candidal
2) They support the immune system. Candida thrives in a sluggish immune environment, so supporting the immune system makes it harder for the candida to take hold and proliferate.
3) They raise life force energy in the body (as well as physical energy). Candida sufferers nearly always have a depressed level of general life force energy – making it very hard to overcome any type of stubborn illness or harmful bacteria, fungal or bacterial infection.
In an ideal world there are often additional products that we would suggest, but we regard Threelac or Fivelac plus one of the liquid oxygen products as a foundational programme upon which additional products can be very useful to add for an even more comprehensive approach.
Which one is the best one?
Someone asks us this question every day. All four products are designed to flood the body with oxygen, but they are rival brands with slightly different mechanisms and vibrational qualities. Unfortunately it is not possible to tell you which of the four liquid oxygen products we provide will work best for any single individual, because individual results vary. If one of them was the “best” one, and all the rest were rubbish or significantly less effective, I wouldn’t waste your time and money on inferior products. Moreover I would not waste my own time and company money marketing four separate products if one of them was consistently more effective than the others.
Another point I will make is that a number of people report back to me is that these products “didn’t work”. In some cases this is true – nothing works for all the people all of the time. But time and time again, when I then question the customer making this assertion I find they have not taken them for long enough, or were tinkering / using them when they can be bothered. This will not accomplish anything, no matter what product you use! Where they genuinely are not helping after 60 days usage, we encourage you to try one of the other liquid oxygen products, as there is a degree of trial and error required with some people, and one of them will usually hit the jackpot.
Other Probiotics for Candida Control
Threelac and Fivelac are our two most popular anti candida products. But as night follows day, different probiotic products work for different people. Other probiotics which we really like for candida sufferers include Bio-Kult Candea – containing 7 different probiotic strains, plus garlic and grapefruit seed extract which are scientifically proven natural antifungals. These are also proven to be compatible with the probiotic bacteria in Bio-Kult Candea.
We also like Optibac Probiotics for Bowel Calm For Bowel Calm contains the unique strain, Saccharomyces boulardii – an internationally acclaimed probiotic that naturally helps to control candida overgrowth. It also supports bowel control and function during episodes of diarrhoea.
