Saccharomyces Boulardii 90 Capsules

Saccharomyces Boulardii provides at least 3 billion Saccharomyces boulardii per recommended 2 capsule dose (up to the date of expiry). It’s shelf-stable meaning it does not require refrigeration and is ideal for taking ‘on-the-go’ or whilst travelling.

Saccharomyces boulardii is a unique, safe, non-pathogenic yeast that has been safely used world-wide to support intestinal health since its discovery in 1920. Saccharomyces boulardii is a transient gut flora species, meaning that it does not colonise the intestinal tract and passes through the system without binding to the gut wall lining, a sought-after feature in high quality probiotic bacteria.

Rather than displacing existing bacteria and altering the microbiome, transient probiotics travel through the gut, interacting with cells, nutrients and bacteria to deliver their benefits. Saccharomyces boulardii has been shown to survive the digestive process; to reach the gut and remain in a viable form throughout the bowel.

Evidence demonstrates that taking a Saccharomyces Boulardii supplement can help with antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and when taken in advance and regularly when travelling, can help to prevent traveller’s diarrhoea.

Saccharomyces boulardii can be used either on its own, or alongside other live bacteria, including Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria. It may also be used while taking antibiotics as it is antibiotic resistant.

Certain live strains of probiotics are more sensitive to environmental factors such as heat, and can die quickly if exposed to high temperatures. Saccharomyces boulardii as a yeast however can withstand harsh environmental factors more easily and are considered ‘shelf stable’; making it the ideal choice for those who are travelling.
