Essential-Biotic® SACCHAROMYCES BOULARDII is a probiotic, non- colonizing yeast species closely related to Brewer’s yeast and not related
to the yeast group to which Candida belongs. Soon after supplementation begins, S. boulardii “blooms” and quickly becomes established in the gut, where it can produce lactic acid and some B vitamins. Both extensive studies and clinical use suggest it can help displace unfriendly yeast species in the GI tract.* It has also been shown to increase levels of secretory IgA.* During its use, friendly probiotic bacteria are able to colonize in the
GI tract, supporting a healthy micro-ecology.* When Saccharomyces boulardii supplementation is stopped, it is then eliminated from the gut.
S. boulardii has been used in Europe after antibiotic use to support normal gastrointestinal tract function.
