NFH S. Boulardii SAP, 30 Capsules

NFH S. Boulardii SAP delivers 10 billion CFU of Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast probiotic well studied for preventing antibiotic-associated diarrhea and supporting recovery from acute gastroenteritis.

Why a yeast, not a bacterial, probiotic

Unlike bacterial probiotics, S. boulardii isn't affected by antibiotics, since it's a yeast rather than a bacterium — antibiotics simply don't target it the way they do bacterial strains. This makes it uniquely suited to being taken alongside a course of antibiotics to protect gut health, rather than needing to wait until after the antibiotic course finishes the way bacterial probiotics generally do. It's also suitable for both children and adults.

Often chosen by

• Anyone taking antibiotics who wants gut protection during the course, not just after
• Families supporting children through acute gastroenteritis
• Those with a history of antibiotic-associated digestive upset

Format and exclusions

30 vegetable capsules per bottle, 1 capsule one to three times daily. Keep refrigerated. Non-GMO, and made without gluten, dairy, or soy.

Before you start

Those who are immunocompromised, critically ill, or have a central venous catheter should check with a healthcare practitioner before use, as rare cases of fungemia have been reported in these specific populations. Keep refrigerated to preserve potency, and out of reach of children.
