Unlike the bacterial strains found in most probiotics, \u003cem\u003eS. boulardii\u003c\/em\u003e is a probiotic yeast - and that distinction matters. Because it is a yeast rather than a bacterium, it is completely unaffected by antibiotics, making it the go-to probiotic for anyone taking antibiotic treatment or recovering from a course. Optibac Probiotics S.

It produces enzymes that can neutralise bacterial toxins - including the toxins produced by \u003cem\u003eC. difficile\u003c\/em\u003e - and it modulates the gut immune response in ways that reduce inflammation without suppressing normal immune activity. It also helps restore beneficial bacterial populations following disruption, creating conditions that favour the re-establishment of a healthy microbiome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause \u003cem\u003eS. boulardii\u003c\/em\u003e does not colonise the gut permanently, it needs to be taken consistently to maintain its effects.

Others use it as a preventative measure during the winter months or nursery\/school transitions when children are exposed to more pathogens and are at higher risk of digestive disruption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eGentle Formula for Sensitive Digestive Systems\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sachets are free from dairy, gluten, soya, and artificial additives.
