OVERVIEW

Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast. When it comes to your gut health, S, boulardii provides a defense against organisms associated with diseases and has been used to address digestive disorders associated with diarrhea and gastrointestinal infections.

Different from baker’s and brewer’s yeasts, S. boulardii is a variant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. French scientist Henri Boulard discovered it in 1920 while in Asia. There, he noticed that those drinking a tea made from tropical fruit peels were less likely to develop cholera.

Since its discovery, 250 peer-reviewed articles have examined its effects. Today, S. boulardii is one of the most studied probiotics available. Different from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, better known as “brewer’s yeast,” S. boulardii has been shown to support gastrointestinal health by boosting secretory IgA (sIgA) levels.

SIgA is an immunoglobulin (protective antibody) present in the digestive tract and in mucosal secretions throughout the body. Maintaining healthy sIgA levels correlates with improved immune health, particularly in the gastrointestinal system, which has to defend itself against pathogenic organisms and viruses. To perform this function, sIgA attaches to and neutralizes proteins that the body doesn’t recognize.

When it comes to the growing body of knowledge regarding your gut and whole body health, decreased sIgA levels are associated with low immune response, food intolerances and dysbiosis, a condition arising from fewer probiotic organisms in relation to potentially harmful bacteria, yeast or parasites.

In this direction, S. boulardii promotes gastrointestinal health by competing for space and nutrients against pathogens. How does it function as a probiotic? To start, microorganisms must hold up to their host’s natural defense mechanisms, including to gastrointestinal transit, related substances (enzymes, bile salts, organic acids and pH fluxes) and human core temperatures. This formulation of Saccharomyces boulardii resists stomach acid, the human body’s high temperatures and passing through the intestinal tract environment.

Each capsule contains 5 billion colony-forming units of the probiotic yeast. The formula is freeze-dried, lactose-free and strain-verified through genetic typing to ensure maximum efficacy.

INGREDIENT BENEFITS

As you think about your health in relation to your gut, Saccharomyces boulardii helps balance gastrointestinal flora, supports intestinal barrier and immune functions and helps the body better absorb nutrients. At the same time, it strengthens your gastrointestinal system’s defenses against foreign and harmful substances that can throw off the microbiome’s balance. In terms of the body’s processes, S. boulardii supplements can also have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects that help control your immune response.

These processes can help with managing symptoms related to:

  • Watery stools and diarrhea
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Ulcerative colitis
  • Inflammatory conditions, including acne, yeast infections, urinary tract infections and high cholesterol
