You need to know about Saccharomyces Boulardii!
Saccharo-what?! It’s a bit of a mouthful isn’t it? Saccharomyces Boulardii (SB) is a specific strain of probiotic yeast. There can be negative connotations attached to the word ‘yeast’ but I promise you- this is a good one!! SB can offer loads of health benefits, particularly to those suffering from gut problems.
Here are a few of the benefits
- Keeps candida at bay: We all have some candida in our intestines, but when it is allowed to grow out of control it causes damage to the gut lining; leading to digestive complaints. SB can prevent the growth of candida and stop it from adhering to the gut lining.
- Anti-toxin properties: Amazingly enough, SB can block or destroy pathogenic (bad) toxins in the intestinal lining.
- Reduced symptoms of IBS: SB has been used to reduce symptoms of IBS such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, constipation and/or diarrhoea.
- Enhances digestion: By increasing the activity of some digestive enzymes, SB can help to aid digestion and absorption.
- Gets rid of the runs: SB has been shown to be effective for the prevention of antibiotic associated diarrhoea and can help to alleviate symptoms of gastritis.
- Lowers inflammation: SB can interfere with inflammatory pathways, to reduce overall inflammation in the body and to support the immune system.
- Heat stable: Most probiotics are affected by heat and require refrigeration. SB is heat stable and therefore does not need refrigeration, making it convenient for travel.
Saccharomyces Boulardii is a key ingredient in Dr Cabot Ultimate Gut Health, and the Dr Cabot 15 Day Cleanse.
