Helps to reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
For optimal health, we need a healthy balance of bacteria in our gastrointestinal (GI) system. The balance of bacterial flora in the GI system is easily upset by contaminated food, stress, illness, travelling or a course of antibiotic treatment. This can quickly lead to stomach upset including diarrhea, and begin a cycle of poor digestion and reduced immune function. A probiotic supplement is a simple and effective way to help prevent GI problems, repair damage, and restore healthy gut flora.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a type of probiotic that is a therapeutic yeast, and is specifically studied for prevention and treatment of diarrhea, including C. difficile infection. S. boulardii works by rapidly multiplying and blocking the implantation and growth of disease-causing bacteria such as those that bring about traveller’s diarrhea and antibiotic-induced diarrhea.
S. boulardii is not a bacterium, therefore it will not be affected by antibiotics.
