Saccharomyces Boulardii

Allergy Research Saccharomyces Boulardii is a tropical strain of yeast first isolated from lychee and mangosteen fruit in 1923 by French scientist Henri Boulard.

S. Boulardii has been shown to maintain and restore the natural flora in the large and small intestine; it is classified as a probiotic. Boulard first isolated the yeast after he observed natives of Southeast Asia chewing on the skin of lychee and mangosteen in an attempt to control the symptoms of cholera. S. boulardii has been shown to be non-pathogenic, non-systemic (remains in the gastrointestinal tract), and grows at the unusually high temperature of 37°C.

It is one of the most potent probiotics in the control of diarrhoea and gastric upsets.

Dosage: As a dietary supplement, take 1 to 3 capsules of S boulardii three times daily, preferably on an empty stomach.
