Essential-Biotic® SACCHAROMYCES BOULARDII is a probiotic, non-colonizing yeast species closely related to Brewer’s yeast and not related to the yeast group to which Candida belongs. Soon after supplementation begins, S. boulardii “blooms” and quickly becomes established in the gut, where it can produce lactic acid and some B vitamins. Both extensive studies and clinical use suggest it can help displace unfriendly yeast species in the GI tract.* It has also been shown to increase levels of secretory IgA.* During its use, friendly probiotic bacteria are able to colonize in the GI tract, supporting a healthy micro-ecology.* When Saccharomyces boulardii supplementation is stopped, it is then eliminated from the gut. S. boulardii has been used in Europe after antibiotic use to support normal gastrointestinal tract function.*

The gastrointestinal tract is not an inert tube, but a complex micro-ecosystem in which the mucosal lining of the host coexists with billions of microorganisms that live on or attached to the lining. These probiotic (life-enhancing) bacteria are provided with shelter and support, and copious amounts of food substrates. The body benefits from the vitamins and other useful metabolic products these bacteria produce. Other, less beneficial micro-organisms are also present and compete with the probiotics. Dietary supplementation with potent probiotic cultures assists the host in maintaining a healthy probiotic balance.*
