While taking antibiotics, which products prevent yeast infection?
Q: I'm going to be taking antibiotics soon & I would like to know which product(s) you recommend to maintain my balance. I am prone to yeast infection.

A.
You have a couple of options which will help you maintain your healthy flora through and post antibiotic therapy. If you are not sensitive to FOS (fructo-oligosaccharides), I suggest HLC Synbiotic Intensive . These are packets of powder, of which you should take a half pack a day during the therapy and then 1/2 pack twice daily (1 pack total per day) once finished with therapy for 7-14 days.

If you are sensitive to FOS, take HLC Intensive (no FOS)—take 1 cap twice daily during antibiotics, then 1 cap 3 times daily following for 7-14 days.

After 2 weeks of either, you should continue taking probiotics, but can reduce the amount which you take to 1/4 pack of Synbiotic and 1 or 2 caps daily of Intensive.
