Product Description
Most probiotics provide bacteria while overlooking other beneficial microbes. In order to balance gut microbe populations, a greater diversity of species is needed. Saccharomyces Boulardii is a probiotic yeast that promotes a healthy gut microbial balance, strengthens the protective function of the gut barrier, aids digestion, and enhances overall immunity.
- 5 billion colony forming units (CFUs) of Saccharomyces boulardii per serving
- A resilient strain of yeast, both acid and heat resistant to ensure it reaches the intestines
- Actively promotes balanced gut flora
- Boosts protective antibody sIgA in the gut that supports immune health
- Competes for space and nutrients against unfriendly microbes
Saccharomyces Boulardii is a widely studied and extremely useful strain of probiotic yeast that helps support overall digestive health in a variety of capacities. To be an effective probiotic, microorganisms must be able to withstand the natural defenses of the host during transit through the gastrointestinal tract (gut). This includes resistantance to factors like enzymes, bile salts, organic acids and fluctuations in PH as well as the ability to thrive at human core temperatures. This formulation of Saccharomyces boulardii is a stomach acid-resistant probiotic, proven to survive high temperatures and the transit into the intestines.
S. Boulardii supports the immune system by crowding-out "unfriendly" microbes. The gut is populated with a multitude of species of bacteria and yeast. Many strains are beneficial and assist in breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, while others can create large colonies that produce harmful compounds and start to take up too much space. Diets high in carbohydrates and sugar tend to promote "unfriendly" fungi and bacteria.
By taking up the available real estate S. Boulardii prevents unwanted bacteria from colonizing as well as providing digestive support. It further promotes gastrointestinal health by boosting secretory IgA (sIgA) levels. sIgA is an immunoglobulin (protective antibody) that is found in the digestive tract and in mucosal secretions throughout the body. Maintaining healthy sIgA levels is crucial for supporting immune health, particularly in the gastrointestinal system. As the body's first line of defense, sIgA attaches to unknown compounds and neutralizes them.
