Informed by strong scientific research, Jarrow Formulas products are carefully crafted to ensure you get the benefit of each and every vitamin, mineral and supplement.Amazon.comIn the natural health world, the term "yeast" is typically associated in a positive way with "brewer'snutritional" yeast, or in a negative way with Candida albicans (i.e., as in yeast infections). One association that is not commonly made is "probiotic." Nevertheless, that's exactly what Saccharomyces boulardii is, a beneficial yeast used as a probiotic agent to support gastrointestinal health. Its most important use is when intestinal flora come under assault, such as during antibiotic use or when traveling.

View larger.Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii) typically reaches a maximum steady state in 3 days when taken orally, but does not multiply in the gut. Less than one percent of the ingested quantity is recovered from stools, indicating that supplementation with S. boulardii should take place regularly to achieve continuing benefits. Occasional DiarrheaS. boulardii is particularly effective in relation to occasional diarrhea from various causes. The efficacy of taking S. boulardii orally has been demonstrated in helping to decrease the chances or intensity of traveler's diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea and some food spoilage related diarrhea.In fact, meta-analyses of the pooled results from studies suggest that S. boulardii can decrease the relative risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea by 57 percent to 63 percent. S. boulardii produces proteases that may help to reduce the negative effects of C. difficile produced toxins A and B. S. boulardii can also interact with undesirable intestinal microorganisms and reduce their adherence to the intestinal wall. S. boulardii may also reduce sodium secretion and thereby guard against water-loss from intestinal cells during occasional diarrhea. Hypersensitive BowelIndividuals with a hypersensitive bowel may experience more inflammatory episodes and frequent bowel movements. Taking S. boulardii regularly may help guard against such intrusions in daily life. Other evidence shows that taking 250 mg S. boulardii three times daily can help maintain better lower intestinal health. Skin HealthAlthough secondary to its effects on gastrointestinal health, S.boulardii may benefit skin health. In a randomized, double-blind study involving 139 human subjects with noncystic acne, the effectiveness and tolerance of S. boulardii was studied in comparison with a placebo over a maximum period of five months. The results of S. boulardii oral intake were assessed as very goodgood in 74.3 percent of the patients receiving the preparation, as compared with 21.7 percent in the placebo group. More than 80 percent of the people in the S. boulardii group were judged to be considerably or completely improved, while the corresponding figure for the placebo group was only 26 percent. MannanoligosaccharidesMannans are polysaccharides consisting of long-chains of the sugar mannose. They are found abundantly on the surface of human intestinal cells and play a critical role in signaling immune cells. Microorganisms typically use these mannans as footholds in the intestines, so it makes sense that the body has evolved mechanisms to start mobilizing a response at the "point of contact." What's interesting is that mannans are also expressed on the cell walls of S. boulardii. And it's believed that these mannans that coat S. boulardii act as anchor si
