What is Risaquad?
Risaquad is a non-prescription probiotic supplement. It introduces four live “good” bacteria cultures into the stomach – Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus paracasei, and Streptococcus thermophilus. These “good” bacteria promote general gastrointestinal health, digest food, and help relieve gastrointestinal problems, such as irritable bowel syndrome or diarrhea. Risaquad is also marketed as helping fight candida yeast infections, such as oral thrush.
Risaquad is taken as a capsule once per day. Risaquad is also available in a double-dose format, Risaquad-2.
What are the side effects of Risaquad?
Common side effects of Risaquad include, but are not limited to, gas, bloating, constipation, and thirst, but these usually subside within a day. While not an allergic reaction, the body sometimes reacts to the live bacteria by releasing histamines to fight off what the body thinks is an infection. Histamines cause the symptoms of allergic reactions.
