Optibac: Saccharomyces Boulardii
A practitioner favourite, Saccharomyces boulardii is a unique product in the Optibac range, being the only yeast to be formally recognised as a probiotic.
It has many systematic reviews and meta-analyses demonstrating its efficacy in helping to support a wide range of conditions – e.g. diarrhoea, C. difficile infection, Candida overgrowth and IBD.
Saccharomyces boulardii is recognised as having a broad anti-pathogenic action due to its sticky outer surface which attaches to pathogenic bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, removing them from the digestive system. Being a yeast itself, (a much larger micro-organism than a bacterium), S. boulardii is able to effectively compete with and displace harmful yeast strains such as Candida. It also produces capric, caprylic and caproic acids, anti-fungal substances which further discourage the proliferation of pathogenic yeasts.
