History of S-boulardii

In 1920s, French microbiologist, Henri Boulard was in IndoChina searching for new strains of yeast that could be used in fermenting processes. He was a visitor during a cholera outbreak and he noticed that only the people who were drinking certain tea did not infect cholera.

The tea was made from the peel of tropical fruits (Lychee and Mangosteen), it succeeded in isolating the component (yeast) that is effective against diarrhea. The yeast was later named Saccharomyces boulardii by Dr. Boulard.

Since the isolation of the strain, extensive research has been conducted and more than 400 relevant studies have been published so far.In 1962, the strain began to be used for the treatment of human diarrhea (as a prescription drug), Long used for over 50 years in certain medicines and now available in dietary supplements form. S-boulardii has been used in more than 80 countries all over the world.

Most successful probiotics in clinical trials

Among the results of meta-analysis of 273 clinical trials for various probiotics, S-boulardii is in the top 3 clinical trials, the success rate of clinical trials of other probiotics is around 50%, while S-boulardii has a high success rate of 80%.

Effective on Antibiotic-associated diarrhea

AAD (Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea) is observed as a side effect in approximately 20% of patients who receive antibiotic treatment.

Antibiotics act on not only pathogenic bacteria but also all bacteria in the intestine and kill good bacteria, so the balance between the good bacteria and bad bacteria will be damaged (the main cause of AAD is Clostridium difficile overgrowth and toxins produced by it ).

Because S-boulardii is not bacteria but yeast, it is less influenced by antibiotics, and it has been reported that the incidence of diarrhea is significantly reduced when S-boulardii is combined comparing to taking antibiotics alone.
