Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that survives stomach acid to colonize the intestinal tract. It acts as a temporary flora to protect the beneficial organisms in the intestine. It helps re-establish the microflora, supporting healthy immunity, digestion, and gut health. It shows the following actions:
- Anti-toxin activity: Neutralizes bacterial toxins, including those from Clostridium difficile.
- Anti-microbial: Adheres to pathogens, decreasing their adhesion to the intestinal wall and invasion of enterocytes.
- Enzymatic activity: Increases enzymatic activities (lactase, alpha-glucosidase, alkaline phosphatase) and the production of intestinal polyamines, enhancing brush border enzymes.
- Immune Enhancement: Stimulates the immune system along the GI lining, increasing the protective antibody IgA.
- Anti-inflammatory: Decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines.
