Saccharomyces Boulardii is a beneficial yeast that promotes a healthy balance of intestinal flora and supports intestinal health. This probiotic can survive the acidic environment of the stomach and does not invade the intestinal tract. Saccharomyces Boulardii supplements may restore proper gastrointestinal functions during temporary disruptions to the gut flora like in traveller’s diarrhea.

- Saccharomyces Boulardii may be beneficial in the prevention of candida overgrowth in the GUT tract. In people at risk for candida overgrowth, such as those who are on long term antibiotics, this probiotic yeast might help to still maintain a healthy gut flora. Long term antibiotic use kills most of the prebiotic bacteria in the gut and because it is a yeast, Saccharomyces Boulardii can keep candida albicans from overwhelming the gut that can cause an infection.
- Saccharomyces Boulardii may help in managing the digestive discomforts associated with traveller’s diarrhea.
- Saccharomyces Boulardii may aid in stimulating the immune system. In scientific studies, these beneficial fungi demonstrated the abilities to support the immune system’s innate and adaptive responses to pathogenic invaders. Consuming probiotic supplements help strengthen the body’s defences against different bacteria, viruses, and other fungi that might cause infections.
- Many different in vitro studies show that this probiotic yeast can aid in the prevention of gastrointestinal infections. Scientists suggest that Saccharomyces Boulardii can possibly interfere with the growth of E. coli, candida albicans, Shigella, and Staphylococcus aureus, the most common causative agents for gastric infections.
- Saccharomyces Boulardii helps the body produce healthy levels of different enzymes essential for digestion and absorption of nutrients. This probiotic supplement specifically aids in increased production of the enzyme lactase for the digestion of lactose, the carbohydrate found in milk and dairy products.
Saccharomyces Boulardii is a probiotic yeast supplement that can support the body in maintaining a healthy balance in the gut flora. This fungi is a very special, it does not penetrate the tissues (unlike candida albicans) and doesn’t form spores, so the risk of relocating to other body parts are lower. Saccharomyces Boulardii’s growth temperature is at 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, similar to the body’s average temperature, making it able to thrive in the body longer. When taken orally, this probiotic supplement will be able to survive the acidity in the stomach and make its way to the intestines. When in gut, Saccharomyces Boulardii prevents overgrowth of the harmful bacteria and fungi. It is particularly helpful in people whose beneficial bacteria that are naturally thriving in the intestines are being killed through the use of antibiotics or those being exposed to environmental stessors. NOW Foods Saccharomyces Boulardii may be effective in promoting overall digestive health, active immune response, proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and supporting digestive comfort.
