Saccharomyces Boulardii

Saccharomyces boulardii is a unique, non-pathogenic yeast that functions as a probiotic, offering a range of health benefits, particularly for digestive health. Unlike many other probiotics, which are bacteria, Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast, making it resistant to antibiotics and highly effective in maintaining and restoring a healthy gut flora.

Key Benefits:

  • Digestive Health: Helps prevent and treat diarrhea, including antibiotic-associated and traveler’s diarrhea, by restoring the natural balance of gut bacteria.
  • Gut Barrier Protection: Strengthens the gut barrier function, reducing inflammation and preventing harmful bacteria from colonizing the gut.
  • Antibiotic Resistance: As a yeast, it remains effective even when antibiotics are administered, making it an ideal complement during antibiotic therapy.
