Reduces the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrheaBalances the intestinal floraEach capsule contains 5 billion Saccharomyces boulardii bacteriaSaccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic probiotic yeast that protects against antibiotic-associated diarrhea caused by an upset in the balance of the intestinal flora. It is resistant to local stresses, including digestive enzymes, bile salts, organic acids, as well as changes in temperature and pH. Because Saccharomyces boulardii is also naturally resistant to antibiotics, it can be taken by people taking antibiotics to support the digestive tract by maintaining the balance of the intestinal flora. Randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials, all conducted in hundreds of adults using antibiotics, have demonstrated a significant preventative effect on cases of diarrhea. Additionally, Saccharomyces boulardii is the only probiotic to have demonstrated significant efficacy in reducing recurrent diarrhea associated with C. difficile, which is responsible for approximately 10-20% of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Each Saccharomyces boulardii capsule contains 5 billion colony-forming units (CFU).
