MICRONUTRITION SB Floraid® (Saccharomyces boulardii) - 60 Capsules

Micronutrition SB Floraid® is a low-excipient formula featuring Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii), a probiotic yeast that supports digestive and intestinal health while promoting a balanced gut microbiome. It helps relieve diarrhoea, including reducing the frequency of traveller's diarrhoea symptoms, and aids in restoring beneficial gut flora after antibiotic use.

Saccharomyces boulardii, or SB, a subspecies of S. cerevisiae, is a probiotic yeast which has a range of beneficial effects for digestive system health. One of the ways it promotes a healthy intestinal environment is by maintaining the integrity of the mucous lining of the intestinal wall. SB also support healthy immune function in the gut, and in turn, maintains immune system health, as well as general health and wellbeing.

Another way SB supports a healthy digestive environment is by encouraging the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. When antibiotics are taken, SB can also be used concurrently to help restore friendly gut flora. SB Floraid® can be taken by infants from the age of 2 months, all the way through to adulthood, and is a low excipient formula which is vegan, dairy and gluten free.

It also provides relief from traveller’s diarrhoea by discouraging the overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut. With no refrigeration required, SB Floraid® is a convenient way to ease digestive concerns while traveling.

What does the CFU count mean? 

CFU stands for Colony Forming Units, and is a way to measure the individual colonies of bacteria, or yeast in the case of SB Floraid®, in a probiotic formula. It indicates a measurable level of how many of these colonies can exert a therapeutic effect when taken. In the case of SB Floraid®, the CFU count of Saccharomyces boulardii is equivalent to 500mg, or 10 billion CFU.

Is Saccharomyces boulardii a probiotic? 

Saccharomyces boulardii is a type of probiotic yeast, and is not a bacteria based probiotic like many other probiotics on the market. This makes it ideal to take during and after antibiotic use, and while travelling to reduce the frequency of symptoms of traveller’s diarrhoea.
