Supplement Tree's Saccharomyces Boulardii contains 5 BILLION CFU Saccharomyces boulardii per capsule blended with 3 important nutrients: olive leaf extract, vitamin D and Biotin.
Saccharomyces Boulardii is a probiotic yeast that is able to survive stomach acid and colonises the intestinal tract. It can be used to support optimum digestive health and immune function by promoting the growth of friendly bacteria.
Saccharomyces Boulardii probiotic supplement supports a healthy and balanced intestinal tract, helps to encourage a healthy balance of gut flora (bowel bacteria) and supports a balanced inflammatory response.
Saccharomyces boulardii has also been shown to support normal gastrointestinal function during a disruption to gut flora balance, such as when travelling abroad where sanitation, food and water supply may not be ideal.
This yeast was first isolated from lychee and mangosteen fruit in the 1920s by a French scientist called Henri Boulard. He had observed natives of Southeast Asia chewing the skin of these fruits to control cholera.
Although it is in the same genus as Saccharomyces cerevisiae (baker’s, brewer’s or dietary yeast), Saccharomyces boulardii is not linked to the candida species (Candida albicans, tropicalas, etc.), Crohn’s disease or any other disease. It has also been shown to be non-systemic / non-colonising, i.e. it remains in the gastrointestinal tract rather than spreading elsewhere in the body.
