What is Saccharomyces Boulardii? Saccharomyces Boulardii from Klaire Labs is a non-pathogenic, transient yeast used for a long time to support normal intestinal transit time. It is an acid-resistant and temperature-resistant microorganism that is not affected by antibacterial agents. Saccharomyces Boulardii is genetically and functionally distinct from brewer's yeast (S. cerevisiae) and different from pathogenic Candida species, as it increases the activities of intestinal brush border enzymes such as disaccharidases, α-glucosidases, alkaline phosphatases and aminopeptidases.

All in all, it supports healthy inflammatory response and healthy intestinal function in a variety of clinical settings, thereby supporting healthy intestinal transit time.
