Overview

Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii provides 5 billion CFU of S. boulardii, a beneficial yeast (not bacteria) probiotic that is naturally resistant to antibiotics. This makes it the ideal probiotic to take during antibiotic therapy, as bacterial probiotics are killed by antibiotics. S. boulardii has strong clinical evidence for preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea, traveler's diarrhea, and C. difficile infections. MOS (mannan-oligosaccharides) is added as a prebiotic. No refrigeration required.
