Saccharomyces Boulardii

Saccharomyces boulardii, commonly referred to as S. boulardii, is a tropical species of yeast that was isolated from the lychee and mangosteen fruit in 1923 by French scientist Henri Boulard. Boulard first isolated the yeast after he observed natives of Southeast Asia chewing on the skin of lychee and mangosteen in an attempt to control the symptoms of cholera. In healthy patients, S. boulardii has been shown to be nonpathogenic and nonsystemic, meaning it remains in the gastrointestinal tract rather than spreading elsewhere in the body. S. boulardii is a strain of S. cerevisiae (baker’s yeast) and is sometimes used as a probiotic with the purpose of introducing beneficial microbes into the large and small intestines, and to support protection against pathogens. Today, supplemental Saccharomyces Boulardii is commonly used in acute gastrointestinal conditions helping to support intestinal health, travelers’ diarrhea, and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) in adults and children.
