The human digestive tract contains a delicate balance of varied bacteria and countless microorganisms. Stressors such as new environments or antibiotic treatments can destroy this delicate balance and lead to intestinal complications such as diarrhea, pain and discomfort. This is a major problem for many hospitalized patients exposed to an environment with many pathogens and multiple antibiotics, or travelers exposed to foreign bacteria. Saccharomyces boulardii is a safe and effective intervention to restore microflora balance and treat these digestive problems.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a healthy, non-pathogenic yeast that helps relieve diarrhea, pain and discomfort in people with specific digestive issues. Research has shown that Saccharomyces boulardii is an effective prophylactic approach for traveler's diarrhea when visiting foreign countries. It has also been shown to decrease the risk of Clostridium difficile infections that often occur in hospital settings.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients receiving antibiotic therapy, the rate of patients experiencing antibiotic-associated diarrhea was 6 times higher in the placebo group than in the Saccharomyces boulardii group. Clinical trials have also shown that Saccharomyces boulardii can significantly reduce the risk and duration of diarrhea in children with acute gastroenteritis.
Saccharomyces boulardii helps restore healthy bacterial microflora through a number of mechanisms. First, it prevents gastrointestinal inflammation by interfering with the various pathogens that bind to the walls of the digestive tract. Saccharomyces boulardii competes with pathogens for receptor sites on cells in the intestinal walls, preventing these bad bacteria from adhering. Second, Saccharomyces boulardii strengthens the protective proteins of the immune system to target and destroy these same pathogens.
Saccharo-B from Cyto-Matrix contains 250 mg of the beneficial yeast Saccharomyces boulardii per capsule, guaranteeing a minimum of 5 billion living organisms. This allows for a safe and effective approach to gastrointestinal distress. Saccharo-B is the most specific and widely studied probiotic for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Clostridium difficile infections, and traveler's diarrhea.
