Saccharomyces boulardii
- Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic, transient yeast long used to support normal bowel transit time. It is a hardy, acid-resistant, temperature-tolerant microorganism that is not affected by antibacterial agents. S. boulardii is genetically and functionally distinct from brewer's yeast (S. cerevisiae) and different from pathogenic Candida species.
- S. boulardii increases the activities of intestinal brush border enzymes such as disaccharidases, α-glucosidases, alkaline phosphatases, and aminopeptidases.
Note
- Note: S. boulardii probiotic is a natural ingredient and variations in color are due to naturally occurring differences in ingredients.
