S. Boulardii SAP
Brand: NFH
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active ingredient, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii CNCM I-1079, is a beneficial yeast. It functions by adhering to intestinal walls, creating a physical barrier against pathogens. At a cellular level, it modulates the immune system by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokine release. It also produces proteases that may degrade bacterial toxins, supporting mucosal integrity and restoring healthy gut flora balance without colonizing the gut permanently.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports gastrointestinal health during antibiotic use
- Helps manage occasional diarrhea and digestive upset
- Promotes a balanced intestinal microbiome
- Enhances immune system function
Usage & Safety
Take 1 capsule daily with water, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. For best results, consume away from meals to prevent yeast activation by food sugars. Do not use if you have nausea, fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, or are immunocompromised. Discontinue use if digestive symptoms persist beyond 3 days.
