Saccharo B

• Saccharomyces boulardii is a healthy, non-pathogenic yeast that can relieve diarrhea and associated digestive discomfort during times of stress.
• Indicated as a preventative measure to reduce the risk of traveler's diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea and acute gastroenteritis
• Guaranteed minimum 5 billion live Saccharomyces boulardii organisms per vegetarian capsule
  

The human digestive tract contains a delicate balance of diverse bacteria and countless microorganisms. Stressors such as new environments or antibiotic treatments can disrupt this delicate balance and lead to intestinal complications such as diarrhea, pain, and discomfort. This is a major problem for many hospitalized patients exposed to an environment with numerous pathogens and multiple antibiotics, or travelers exposed to foreign bacteria. Saccharomyces boulardii is a safe and effective intervention to restore microflora balance and treat these digestive problems.

Saccharomyces boulardii is a healthy, non-pathogenic yeast that helps relieve diarrhea, pain, and discomfort in people with specific digestive problems. Research has shown that Saccharomyces boulardii is an effective prophylactic for traveler's diarrhea when visiting foreign countries. It has also been shown to reduce the risk of Clostridium difficile infections, which often occur in hospital settings.

In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients receiving antibiotic therapy, the rate of patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhea was 6 times higher in the placebo group than in the Saccharomyces boulardii group. Clinical trials have also shown that Saccharomyces boulardii can significantly reduce the risk and duration of diarrhea in children with acute gastroenteritis.

Saccharomyces boulardii helps restore healthy bacterial microflora through several mechanisms. First, it prevents gastrointestinal inflammation by interfering with the various pathogens that bind to the walls of the digestive tract. Saccharomyces boulardii competes with pathogens for receptor sites on intestinal wall cells, thus preventing the adhesion of these harmful bacteria. Second, Saccharomyces boulardii strengthens the immune system's protective proteins to target and destroy these same pathogens.

Cyto-Matrix Saccharo-B contains 250 mg of the beneficial yeast Saccharomyces boulardii per capsule, guaranteeing a minimum of 5 billion live organisms. This provides a safe and effective approach to gastrointestinal distress. Saccharo-B is the most specific and extensively studied probiotic for antibiotic-associated diarrhea, Clostridium difficile infections, and traveler's diarrhea.
