WHAT IS SACCHAROMYCES BOULARDII? Saccharomyces Boulardii is a unique, non-pathogenic, transient yeast that is proven to survive without refrigeration. This makes it ideal for adding to your suitcase when you travel. S. Boulardii is not supposed to multiply (colonise) in the gut and takes just three days to reach a maximum steady state. The activity of S. Boulardii is exerted as it makes its way through the digestive tract.  S. Boulardii has a sticky outer surface which can attract bacteria to its body so as it passes, it removes the bacteria with it. Whilst it is a yeast, it is not related to Candida albicans and in fact releases caprylic acid as a survival mechanism against other yeast in the vicinity.  OUR SACCHAROMYCES SUPPLEMENT Our Saccharomyces Boulardii supplement provides 20 billion viable organisms per g. This equates to 8 billion viable organisms per vegan capsule provided. We have blended our Saccharmoyces with L-glutamine to create a perfectly balanced supplement. WHAT IS L-GLUTAMINE? L-Glutamine is an amino acid found in high amount in the body. It is produced in skeletal muscle and then released into circulation and used in gut epithelial tissue. EXCIPIENT FREE Our Saccharomyces Boulardii supplement comes in the form of a vegetable cellulose capsule. This enables us to offer a supplement that does not require excipients, binders or unnatural fillers. A vegetable cellulose capsule is designed specifically to break down naturally within the acid of your stomach, ensuring the nutrients are absorbed during digestion.
