Produced by the same company and created specifically for customers to be able to combat yeast infections and Candida overgrowth in the intestinal tract, Threelac and Fivelac are a pair of probiotic-based supplements that are ever-popular with our customers. But, owing to their distinct and major similarities, just what separates them? And how on earth are you to decide between them when looking for a yeast-fighting solution in supplement form?

Well, the big factor that distinguishes Fivelac from Global Healing Trax’s original product, Threelac, is that the former contains two further strains of friendly, highly effective bacteria than the latter does. So, many would immediately assume that Fivelac must be something of an upgrade on Threelac and, therefore, must be an improvement and the better product. Now, on one level this is true but is it really as simple as that? Should every customer be advised to choose Fivelac over Threelac?

Which should you choose?

The fact is – and this is entirely true – at The Finchley Clinic, customers of ours have tried Fivelac who’d previously used Threelac and reported back to us that they felt they ultimately got on with the original product better; others, of course, have found the opposite – some Threelac customers try Fivelac and prefer the newer product, so make the switch. Other customers have no former preference and, having tried both, decide to plump for one over the other.

Everyone’s body is slightly different, let’s not forget; it stands to reason then that some of us will try Fivelac and, despite it supposedly being an improvement on its forerunner and so a ‘better’ product, nonetheless decide to stick with Threelac, their original and, in the end, preferred yeast- and Candida-combating supplement. If you find Threelac suits you better than Fivelac, our advice then would be then to stick with what you prefer – stick with the one that suits you best and delivers you the best results.

Quite frankly, given so many people seem to get on with Threelac over Fivelac – and vice versa – perhaps a better way of looking at it would be to suggest that one isn’t necessarily better than the other, but that they’re simply different to each other and so the results you get from one will likely be slightly different to the results you get from the other. Indeed, you might want to try Threelac first and then, say, after a period of two months taking two sachets a day of that product, you might want to try Fivelac in the same way – and see which of the two works better for you.

Choose one and stick with it!

We would suggest, however, that far more important than which of the two similar but highly-recommended supplements you choose is that you do choose one of them and, yes, stick with it. You need to take either Threelac or Fivelac regularly for the friendly bacteria ingredients they comprise to have the desired, successful effect on doing away with and preventing further build-up of yeast and Candida in the intestinal tract.

To that end, we advise you take anything from one to six sachets of either product daily – dependent, that is, on how sensitive your body may prove to be to the treatment (side effects to either supplement don’t tend to be extreme but do occur in some cases) and how severe your yeast/ Candida infections are. Don’t dabble with these products – if you don’t commit to them fully, you’ll simply not allow them to do the good work they’re capable of and they’ll likely not produce anything much of a beneficial effect for you.

All that said, candida overgrowth syndrome – and, especially, the tackling of it – can be problematic and complex. So, it may also be a good idea to be open to taking either Threelac or Fivelac along with a liquid oxygen product. We recommend any of the products listed here.
