Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS is a probiotic yeast that survives stomach acid and colonizes the intestinal tract. It promotes the health of the intestinal tract, helps protect its beneficial microbiota, and enhances immune function. MOS (MannanOligoSaccharides) is an oligosaccharide from the cell walls of s. cerevisiae that can discourage bacteria from adhering to the epithelial cells and reduce their proliferation. Jarrow Formulas puts the "Pro" in probiotics!

• Probiotic yeast survives stomach acid and helps support healthy intestinal flora.
• Promotes the health of the intestinal tract, helps protect its beneficial microbiota, and enhances immune function.
• Includes MOS, oligosaccharides that can help guard against the adhesion of microorganisms to epithelial cells in the intestines.

Saccharomyces boulardii (S. boulardii) typically reaches a maximum steady state in 3 days when taken orally, but does not multiply in the gut. Less than one percent of the ingested quantity is recovered from stools, indicating that supplementation with S. boulardii should take place regularly to achieve continuing benefits.

Occasional Diarrhea
S. boulardii is particularly effective in relation to occasional diarrhea from various causes. The efficacy of taking S. boulardii orally has been demonstrated in helping to decrease the chances or intensity of traveler's diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea and some food spoilage related diarrhea.

In fact, meta-analyses of the pooled results from studies suggest that S. boulardii can decrease the relative risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea by 57 percent to 63 percent. S. boulardii produces proteases that may help to reduce the negative effects of C. difficile produced toxins A and B. S. boulardii can also interact with undesirable intestinal microorganisms and reduce their adherence to the intestinal wall.* S. boulardii may also reduce sodium secretion and thereby guard against water-loss from intestinal cells during occasional diarrhea.

Hypersensitive Bowel
Individuals with a hypersensitive bowel may experience more inflammatory episodes and frequent bowel movements. Taking S. boulardii regularly may help guard against such intrusions in daily life.* Other evidence shows that taking 250 mg S. boulardii three times daily can help maintain better lower intestinal health.

Skin Health
Although secondary to its effects on gastrointestinal health, S.boulardii may benefit skin health. In a randomized, double-blind study involving 139 human subjects with noncystic acne, the effectiveness and tolerance of S. boulardii was studied in comparison with a placebo over a maximum period of five months. The results of S. boulardii oral intake were assessed as very good/good in 74.3 percent of the patients receiving the preparation, as compared with 21.7 percent in the placebo group. More than 80 percent of the people in the S. boulardii group were judged to be considerably or completely improved, while the corresponding figure for the placebo group was only 26 percent.
