Summary
Saccharomyces boulardii is a beneficial probiotic yeast that supports gastrointestinal health. Unlike many bacterial probiotics, it is non-colonizing and remains active in the digestive tract without permanently altering gut flora.
Unlike many probiotics, this yeast is naturally resistant to antibiotics, making it a practical choice during and after antibiotic use.
It is commonly used to support digestive balance, particularly during and after antibiotic use. Its natural resistance to stomach acid allows it to remain stable and effective as it passes through the gastrointestinal tract.
