THERALAC Master Supplements - Probiotic Supplement 30 Billion Cfu 84476

I was looking for a high quality probiotic that did not contain FOS,(a prebiotic), as I understand this can not only help good bacteria grow, but also the harmful type. This product contains four human strains of probiotic,and two human strains of prebiotic.It is expensive,but I needed something high quality.I have done my homework on probiotics, and I know that they need to stay cold to remain viable.My product did arrive with a small ice pack in the box, but it was nowhere near the bottle,and I believe it should have been at least wrapped with bubble wrap and taped, to keep it cool in transit. It was only 75degrees that day, and I retrieved my mail immediately, so I know that at least on my end, it was not my fault. The bottle felt very warm to me, so I wrote the vitamin company, and they said that it was not a problem,and offered no solution or refund. The only reason I am giving this product a 5 star rating, is because I rushed it to my refrigerator, and waited for it to cool, and began taking them the next day. They have worked very well,however, I still think that the shipping should have been more careful,especially for the price you pay-you never know where it will be sitting, in what warehouse, in what city, and how warm it is there. Next time I will order in the winter.

Ask your provider if these are right for you. We bought them at the suggestion of our provider and they worked well for us. We no longer use them, but this was right for us at the time.

This is noticeably effective from one day to the other in digestive system upsets. It has the right stuff and it is protected enough from the digestive juices to get where it needs and work, unlike any other I have tried. No other commonly advertised products are effective for me. When I had lyme disease and had to take antibiotics daily, it was a life saver. It was like I wasn't even having any damage done to my body from the antibiotics. I still had to take extra bifidus bacteria--several brands work for me--when needed for the lower bowel--when necessary. With my mercury overload, probiotics are really needed. I also took daily steam saunas to detox through the skin. That saved some of the digestive system detoxing. Now that the Lyme is over, I only take Theralac occasionally, as when I have the flu or I have eaten too much junk for several days and the Candida rises to a level that produces symptoms.

Background: I suffer from chronic pain, and have the accompanying slowing of the digestive tract as a result of the medications that I take. This causes irregularity and slows the digestion of food - which causes some food blockage leading to acid reflux. I've been taking other good brands of probiotics for about 2.5 years for general good health, but they just aren't enough. I started using the Master Supplements line, including the Theralac, about two weeks ago, and I can already tell that my digestive tract is working better! Better regularity and I haven't used an antacid in about a week! I was really surprised that since you only take this product every three days, it's actually less costly than the product that I've been using, which is a great bonus. Another benefit of probiotics in general is that I have only had one tiny cold since I've been taking probiotics. My doctor believes that most flu's and colds start in the intestines, so probiotics are a key component in my health care. I believe that the four-pronged product line from Master Supplements has just earned a permanent spot in my refrigerator!

I have had pretty good results using Theralac. My local vitamin store carries this probiotic however they keep theirs in the refrigerated section of the store and it is more expensive there. When you order from these vendors, they do not ship them cold. Probiotics must be kept cold to insure that the good bacteria has not died. I ordered Theralac from a vendor here and they were shipped during 90 degree temperatures. They are shipped USPS so the transit time takes, at times a week. So you have probiotics that are sitting in the local post offices in hot temps. If you want to get the best from these probiotics, they must be shipped with cold packs. Yes, it states that the good bacteria will be fine for up to 30 days at temperatures no higher than 70 degrees not over 90 degrees. Order these when it is fall or winter - not during hot summer months. Amazon was great and refunded the full purchase price due to having dead bacteria from the hot temps.
