Frequently Asked Questions

What is Saccharomyces boulardii and how does it work?

S. boulardii is a beneficial, non-colonising probiotic yeast that acts as a temporary gut resident. It competes with pathogenic organisms, produces enzymes that break down toxins, stimulates secretory IgA, and supports gut lining integrity.

Is S. boulardii safe to take with antibiotics?

Yes. Because S. boulardii is a yeast — not a bacterium — it is naturally resistant to antibacterial antibiotics. It can be taken during antibiotic courses to reduce diarrhoea and continued afterwards to help restore microbiome balance.

Who should take Saccharomyces Boulardii?

Those currently on antibiotics, travelling internationally, with recurrent C. difficile infections, IBD, IBS, or those recovering from gut dysbiosis or gastrointestinal illness.

Is S. boulardii safe for those with yeast sensitivities?

S. boulardii is a different species from Candida and does not cause candidiasis. However, those with severe immunocompromise or systemic yeast infections should consult their healthcare professional before use.
