What is Saccharomyces boulardii and how is it different from regular probiotics?
Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii) is a beneficial yeast, not a bacteria like most probiotics. This makes it uniquely resistant to antibiotics—it cannot be killed by pharmaceutical antibiotics or natural antimicrobial herbs that would destroy bacterial probiotics. S. boulardii survives harsh stomach acid better than most bacterial strains, works to support beneficial bacteria while reducing harmful bacteria, remains stable at room temperature without refrigeration, and has anti-inflammatory properties that protect your gut lining.
Does this need to be refrigerated?
No! S. boulardii is naturally shelf-stable and remains potent at room temperature for up to 2 years when stored properly. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use before the expiration date. This makes Microbiome Support perfect for travel, busy lifestyles, and situations where refrigeration isn't convenient—without sacrificing quality or effectiveness.
When should I take Microbiome Support?
Take one capsule per day, preferably at night or as recommended by your healthcare practitioner. S. boulardii can be taken with or without food, though taking it consistently at the same time each day optimizes results.
