Essential Stacks Saccharomyces Boulardii Probiotics - 5 Billion CFUs for Gut Health (60 Capsules)

What Makes This Probiotic Different from Bacteria-Based Probiotics?

Most probiotics are bacteria, but Saccharomyces boulardii is a yeast. This fundamental difference offers several advantages. Yeast probiotics are naturally resistant to stomach acid and bile, so more organisms survive to colonise the gut. They are also unaffected by antibiotics, meaning they can be taken alongside antibiotic therapy without being killed.

This makes Saccharomyces boulardii an excellent choice for those on antibiotics or with sensitive digestive systems. It works synergistically with bacteria-based probiotics, providing a broader spectrum of gut support.

Key Benefits of This Probiotic Yeast

Saccharomyces boulardii offers several digestive health benefits. As a probiotic yeast, it helps maintain the natural balance of gut flora, especially during times of stress or when taking antibiotics.* The yeast's robust cell wall allows it to survive stomach acid and reach the intestines intact, where it can support the body's natural defences.

For occasional digestive upset, such as traveller's diarrhoea or mild bloating, this probiotic may help restore gut harmony.* Its unique mechanism differs from bacteria-based probiotics, making it a valuable addition to a comprehensive gut health regimen.

What Is Saccharomyces Boulardii?
