Saccharomyces cerevisiae boulardii
Saccharomyces boulardii
Saccharomyces boulardii is a beneficial, non-pathogenic, non-colonizing species of yeast. It has been clinically recognized for its effectiveness in reducing the symptoms of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and Clostridium difficile infection, which can result from antibiotic use, hospitalization or traveling abroad. Saccharomyces boulardii significantly reduces both the risk and the duration of diarrhea. It has also been used to treat acute diarrhea and gastroenteritis in children with good results.

Ingredient Benefits
A non-colonizing, non-pathogenic probiotic yeast
Saccharomyces boulardii is not a pathogenic yeast like the candida family and does not colonize the gastrointestinal tract.
Helps relieve diarrhea related to travel, antibiotic use and infections
Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic yeast most commonly known for its ability to treat diarrhea in those traveling or using antibiotics. Studies evaluating S. boulardii for preventing traveler's diarrhea discovered a significant reduction in the risk when used for the duration of the trip.
Supports digestive health in Crohn’s Disease (CD)
One of the first studies of probiotic treatment in CD was actually with the use of the yeast strain Saccharomyces boulardii. In this study patients were co-treated conventionally, and after two weeks of adding in S. boulardii, patients reported a reduction in bowel movement frequency from about five per day to four per day
The yeast Saccharomyces (S. cerevisiae var. boulardii) can be useful in xenobiotic detoxification due to their beneficial properties such as their strong ability to bind, tolerate or detoxify, high tolerance to acid and bile and strong adhesion to the gut mucosa.
