****We will be closed for Inventory from Saturday September 16 through Monday September 24.****Saccharomyces Boulardii is a unique, non -pathogenic yeast that has many beneficial actions in the intestinal tract. Saccharomyces boulardii has been utilized worldwide as a probiotic supplement to support gatstrointestinal health. It benefits the gastrointestinal tract by increasing intestinal populations of healthy bifidobacteria while decreasing numbers of disease-causing organisms. A common supplement regimen lasts 3 to 4 weeks or for up to two weeks after diarrhea has resolved. It can be taken with antibacterial antibiotics. It is compatible with probiotic supplements. As a transient yeast organism that passes through the intestines after ingestion, S boulardii does not attach to the mucosal cells lining the intestinal lumen, but exerts its beneficial effects on the host as it moves through the gastrointestinal tract. S boulardii is completely unrelated to Candida albicans, C. tropicalas, C. kruise and other Candida species that cause disease and overgrowth species decrease the acidity of the gastrointestinal mucosal membrane susceptible to invasion by disease-causing bacteria and yeast. Saccharomyces boulardii exerts the opposite effect. It produces lactic and other acids know to inhibit disease causing Candida yeast species. Animal studies have shown that S boulardii actually plays a role in preventing the Candida yeast from reproducing in the gut.
