Can I overdose on Theralac?
Probiotic bacteria, such as those in Theralac, have been used in dosages of one trillion CFU/day or more without resulting in harmful effects to the user. Sometimes when probiotics are taken at very high dosages the user may experience diarrhea, but this can be mitigated by reducing the dose. However, first time users of high potency probiotics may experience a period of discomfort as the intestinal tract’s microflora is being rebalanced. This period of discomfort is called the Herxheimer Reaction.
