AlchePharma Saccharomyces Boulardii – Non-GMO – Dairy-Free Probiotic

Top Ingredients in This Formula

This supplement combines two key components: Saccharomyces boulardii (5 billion CFU), a beneficial yeast that supports intestinal balance, and fructooligosaccharides (FOS) (200 mg), a natural prebiotic fibre that nourishes healthy gut bacteria. The vegetarian cellulose capsule is free from dairy, soya, eggs, nuts, fish, shellfish, artificial colours, flavours, and preservatives. It is also Non-GMO and gluten-free.

What Is Saccharomyces Boulardii?

Saccharomyces boulardii is a unique probiotic yeast studied for its role in gastrointestinal health. Unlike bacterial probiotics, this yeast survives stomach acid to reach the intestines intact, where it helps maintain a healthy balance of microflora. AlchePharma’s formula provides 5 billion CFU per capsule along with 200 mg of FOS prebiotic, creating a synergistic effect for digestive wellness.

Who Might Benefit?

This probiotic is ideal for adults seeking natural digestive support, especially:

• Frequent travellers: Changes in diet and environment can disrupt gut flora; S. boulardii may help maintain regularity and comfort.
• Those on antibiotics: This yeast is resistant to antibiotics and may help recolonise the gut during or after a course.
• Individuals with occasional digestive upset: May help reduce bloating, gas, or irregularity.
• Vegans and those with dietary restrictions: The formula is vegan, Non-GMO, gluten-free, and dairy-free.

Always consult a health care professional before starting a new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a compromised immune system.

How to Choose a Quality Probiotic

When selecting a probiotic, consider strain specificity (S. boulardii is well-researched), potency (5 billion CFU is moderate-to-high), survivability (yeast naturally resists stomach acid), purity (third-party tested, free from unnecessary additives), and complementary ingredients (prebiotics like FOS enhance effectiveness).

Key Benefits

A balanced gut microbiome is essential for digestion and immune function. This supplement supports a diverse gut ecosystem, contributes to digestive comfort, promotes natural immune defences, and aids nutrient absorption. The addition of FOS prebiotic fibre helps beneficial bacteria thrive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Saccharomyces boulardii safe for daily uses?

Yes, it is generally well tolerated. Start with the recommended dose and monitor your response. Consult your health care provider if you have concerns.

Can I take this with antibiotics?

Yes, S. boulardii is resistant to antibiotics. Take it at a different time of day than your antibiotic dose to maintain gut flora.

How should I store this probiotic?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not required but may extend shelf life.

What is the difference between Saccharomyces boulardii and bacterial probiotics?

S. boulardii is a yeast, not a bacterium. It survives stomach acid better and does not colonise the gut permanently, making it ideal for targeted support alongside bacterial probiotics.
