Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that survives stomach acid and colonizes in the intestines as temporary flora, supporting the growth of beneficial gut bacteria. It promotes immune function, digestion, and gut health through the following mechanisms:
- Anti-Toxin Effect: Produces proteins that neutralize bacterial toxins, including those released by Clostridium difficile.
- Antimicrobial Action: Binds to harmful bacteria, reducing their attachment to the intestinal wall, limiting their invasion, and facilitating their removal through bowel movements.
- Enzymatic Activity: Enhances the action of digestive enzymes (lactase, alpha-glucosidase, alkaline phosphatase) and stimulates the production of polyamines (spermidine, spermine, putrescine), which support intestinal health.
- Immune Boosting: Increases the secretion of protective antibody IgA, enhancing immune defense along the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
- Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Helps lower levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, reducing inflammation in the gut.
