Trust & Pharmacist Advice
The gut microbiota can be affected by factors such as travel, dietary changes, illness and antibiotic use. Probiotic supplements are commonly chosen to help maintain digestive balance during these periods.
Saccharomyces boulardii is unique because it is a probiotic yeast rather than a bacterial strain. As it is naturally resistant to antibiotics, it can be taken during antibiotic treatment without being destroyed by the medication.
Individuals with underlying medical conditions or compromised immunity should consult a healthcare professional before taking probiotic supplements.
