Patient One Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast that survives stomach acid to nourish the intestines, support the immune system and provide a favorable growth environment for the beneficial bacteria that support health and digestive comfort. One of the most studied probiotics, S. boulardii may help support bowel regularity and provide defense against occasional diarrhea.

S. boulardii acts as a temporary flora that quickly achieves high concentrations in the GI tract. This temperature-tolerant microorganism is not affected by antibiotics.

Probiotic actions are strain specific and effectiveness of strains from the same species may be very different. S. boulardii is genetically and functionally distinct from brewer’s yeast (S. cerevisiae) and not related to the yeast group to which Candida belongs. Even though taxonomically assigned to the S. cerevisiae species, S. boulardii is characterized by a number of genetic features more suitable to the intestinal environment. Patient One’s S. boulardii strain is identified and verified through genetic typing.

Equally important to selecting an effective strain is selecting an effective preparation. Patient One’s S. boulardii is obtained through a patented, controlled-temperature, low-vacuum drying process. This technique preserves whole yeast cells and provides greater stability over time.

Provided in an acid-resistant vegetable capsule to withstand transit to the intestines, Patient One Saccharomyces boulardii supplies a minimum of 5 Billion viable organisms per capsule and is stable at room temperature, making it convenient for travel.
