How Saccharomyces boulardii Works
Saccharomyces boulardii is a health-promoting yeast that survives gastrointestinal transit and remains distinct from brewer's yeast. It helps support gut health by promoting secretory IgA activity, competing for space and nutrients against undesirable organisms, and helping maintain normal barrier integrity within the intestinal lining. These actions make it a useful option for ongoing digestive support, healthy microbiome support, and support for normal immune balance.
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Saccharomyces boulardii: A clinically studied probiotic yeast that helps support balanced gastrointestinal flora. Helps maintain healthy intestinal barrier function and GI integrity. Promotes healthy immune activity for everyday immune support

Frequently Asked Questions About Saccharomyces boulardii - 60 CT
What are the main health benefits of Saccharomyces boulardii?
Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast commonly used to support gut health, digestive balance, and healthy gastrointestinal flora. Unlike many bacterial probiotics, it survives stomach acid well and helps maintain a balanced intestinal environment. It may also help support immune function and intestinal barrier integrity. Many individuals use Saccharomyces boulardii during times of digestive stress, dietary changes, or when looking to support overall microbiome health and healthy digestion on a daily basis.
How does Saccharomyces boulardii work in the body?
Saccharomyces boulardii works by supporting the balance of beneficial microorganisms within the gastrointestinal tract. This probiotic yeast helps maintain healthy intestinal barrier function and promotes normal immune activity within the gut. Because it is naturally resistant to stomach acid, it can survive digestion and reach the intestines effectively. Saccharomyces boulardii also supports secretory IgA activity and helps create a healthy environment that promotes digestive wellness, microbiome balance, and gastrointestinal integrity.
Who should consider taking Saccharomyces boulardii?
Saccharomyces boulardii may be beneficial for individuals seeking daily digestive support, microbiome balance, or immune system support related to gastrointestinal health. People experiencing occasional digestive upset, dietary changes, travel-related digestive stress, or lifestyle-related gut imbalance may consider this probiotic yeast supplement. It may also be a helpful option for those who want a non-bacterial probiotic that is stable and acid-resistant. As with any supplement, individuals should consult a healthcare professional before starting a new regimen.
Are there any side effects or precautions associated with Saccharomyces boulardii?
Saccharomyces boulardii is generally well tolerated when used as directed, but some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort such as bloating or gas when first starting supplementation. Those who are pregnant, nursing, immunocompromised, or taking prescription medications should consult their healthcare practitioner before use. Individuals with yeast sensitivities should also exercise caution. Following label directions and discussing supplementation with a qualified healthcare provider can help ensure safe and appropriate use.

Review
I came down with C-Diff 2 years ago. Along with some antibiotics and this Saccharomyces Boulardii, I was able to get through it. The C-Diff left me with a very touchy stomach. I still take it today as I tried getting along without it, and I couldn't. I tried other brands, but found Ortho Molecular Products the only one that really worked. I would highly recommend this probiotic to anyone with stomach issues or D. I don't know what I would do without it! Thank you Covenant Health Products for carrying it.
