Key features

- Able to survive stomach acid
- Colonises the intestinal tract
- Handy to take when travelling
- Supplied in vegetable capsules (vcaps)
Saccharomyces boulardii is one of the few yeasts used as a probiotic. Because it is a yeast rather than a bacterium, it can be taken alongside bacterial probiotics as part of a broader routine. Its ability to withstand stomach acid means it reaches the intestines intact, and the compact capsules are easy to pack in a wash bag or carry-on when you are away from home.
Available in 60 vcaps and 120 vcaps.
