Mechanism of Action

Saccharomyces boulardii favourably alters the composition of the gut flora and inhibits the action of pathogenic microorganisms. It maintains a healthy balance of intestinal flora by producing organic compound-such as lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid-that increase the acidity of the intestine and inhibit the reproduction of many harmful bacteria. Studies have revealed that it also produces substances called bacteriocins, which act as natural antibiotics to kill undesirable microorganisms.

It synthesizes vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid and nicotinic acid. These vitamins are utilized for the nutritional requirements of the body.
