Saccharomyces boulardii is a beneficial, non-pathogenic, non-colonizing species of yeast that is clinically recognized for reducing the symptoms of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and Clostridium difficile infection, which can result from antibiotic use, hospitalization or traveling abroad.
Saccharomyces boulardii significantly reduces both the risk and the duration of diarrhea, including acute diarrhea and gastroenteritis in children with good results.
