What are the Pros of Theralac Products?

• Multi-species supplements with microbes that may have synergistic (greater than the sum of their individual parts) benefits
• Documented probiotic strains and numbers
  
• Third-party test results are published online by lot number of the product for strength, purity and activity. You enter the lot number of your product and can view the test results. This is a very nice feature and is rare to find!
  
• Totally Inert Packaging""- The capsules are packaged in double-sealed, amber glass bottles containing rayon wadding and both moisture and oxygen absorption packets. They can be held at temperatures up to 75° F for up to one month but must be kept refrigerated beyond that to assure potency through the expiration date. (Moisture and oxygen can degrade probiotics.)
• Patented sodium alginate protective coating to deliver the probiotics to the small intestine
• Has the prebiotic Lactostim. Note that this prebiotic is not a prebiotic in the sense that the bacteria ferment it. Instead, Lactostim is incorporated into the bacteria’s cell walls and improves functioning of the cell which in turn can allow it to reproduce faster. As a result, Lactostim should not cause gas and bloating to people sensitive to prebiotic fibers.
• CFU's are guaranteed through the expiration date, not the manufacturing date
• Potency is guaranteed during shipping at non-refrigerated temperatures, but product should be refrigerated upon arrival.
• Vegetarian capsules

What are the Cons of Theralac Products?

• As with most probiotics, this one requires refrigeration after it is delivered.
• It has added ingredients which may be undesirable.
• No studies with this product as a whole were performed. Note that this is not unusual, however. Very few multi-species probiotic supplements are used in studies. Instead, species/strains that are shown to be effective and non-competing are mixed together in most multi-species supplements such as this one.

Thanks to Susan for suggesting a review of this supplement!

One Other Note

If you decide to take this supplement, I would combine the health benefits of it with the benefits provided by:

Some competitors of SBI (Solo Build It) are posting fake negative reviews of SBI. If you are considering creating your own website business, or if you have a brick-and-mortar business but want an online presence, I highly recommend SBI!
