Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS Probiotics for Digestive Health and Intestinal Tract Support - 5 Billion CFU Per Serving - 90 Delayed Release Caps - Probiotic + Prebiotic - 90 Servings

Of all things I've done to help myself, this one stands out. Mostly, because I read a research article on S. boulardii and decided any probiotic with documented proof that it helps gut inflammation had to be a good thing and decided that I had to add it, all on my own : ) Then I went to see my new doctor (functional medicine) who ruthlessly pruned my list of supplements (including my beloved Hardy's Probiotics and Greens) but kept these. I was stunned. More wasn't merrier? Diversity not an issue? This flew in the face of all my careful reading on the microbiome. The rational? When you dump who knows how many colony forming units into your gut, the new probiotics need to fight it out with the established ones for limited resources (fiber). If you have gut inflammation, then S. boulardii is your answer and it's best to maximize its chances. As for fiber? If you take probiotics, then you must take fiber. Quality is the key. Poorly processed fiber (metamucil) - sure they feed your probiotics but they also feed other much less desirable denizens of the gut. Apparently the best possible fiber is PGX (specially processed form of glucomannan). I was using a mixture of Metamucil mostly to get rid of it and glucomannin And? Three weeks after she eliminated the junk fiber and the junk probiotics (whimper), my elimination is normal. My gut pain is gone. My GERD, gas, cramping, bloating, diarrhea is gone. This after trying with Hardy's (and Jarrow and Culturelle...) for close to a year, it turns out I was drowning out both pieces of the correct answer by introducing too much competition and then feeding everyone crappy fiber. Is this the whole story? Alas no, healing a very broken GI track is a big story. Symptoms: gas, bloating, GERD, stomach aches/heartburn, gut cramps, diarrhea. Support for broken digestion (you'll want to check with your doctor - it's great if you're under producing stomach fluids but you'll burn a hole in your stomach if you're fine) HCl and digestive enzymes Healing the gut Probiotics (S. boulardii for inflammation - other probiotics for different issues) Fiber (highest quality - PGX) Glutamate - feed your gut directly - promotes gut healing resistant starch - Bob's red mill unmodified potato starch - feeds your probiotics, anti inflammatory, does not raise glucose levels and survived the Great Pruning of the Supplements unscathed. Collagen; Your gut needs collagen to heal . You can get collagen either from bone broth or from collagen supplements. Initiate protein synthesis: in order to heal, the body must produce new proteins. However, this only happens if you eat 30 gm of protein in one sitting. That would be 5 large eggs or 1.5 cups of greek yogurt. Nutritionists recommend doing this 3x per day if you are trying to heal from a major condition. I found it difficult to eat so much food so it's closer to 1x per day. Once I began doing this, my hair doubled it's growth rate. My other conditions have been improving as well, although not as spectacularly as hair growth. Update: It's been over four months on this "heal the gut" regime. Most of my symptoms of digestive difficulties are gone. I can eat normally without digestive enzymes and HCl. However, my lab tests came back and I'm borderline (no candida! none!) Too many bad bugs lurking. I notice it mostly when I take the Bob's Red Mill potato starch - I have a strong gas reaction in the gut and the next day, elimination suddenly improves. It looks like the gut is mostly healed and I have to feed my helpful probiotics until they go forth and beat up the invaders.

I was introduced to the Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardi by our local nutrition store when my loved one was dealing with probable c. diff after TEN rounds of antibiotics and TWO hospitalizations with surgery where the last RN wasn't following basic hygiene practices (MO Baptist should change protocols so RNs and staff do NOT place dirty used urinals on the tray table let alone ON the FOOD TRAY where the patient's dinner is waiting to be eaten!) so we left and went home. Weeks later and none of the doctors were concerned about his explosive diarrhea, his low grade fever, his labs showing hemoglobin was too low, bilirubin was climbing, lymphocytes were falling, etc. Others noted his color was growing more pale, I noticed a yellowish tinge. Calls to the ER, urgent care and our primary care revealed if they chose to test for C Diff after examining him, the results wouldn't be available for up to 4 days, longer since it was a full weekend, too. The primary office is busy, it was doubtful he'd be able to get in to a regular appointment until the following week, more than 10 days later. Plus 4 days for results.... that's possibly 2 weeks waiting before commencing treatments! Whatever the problem is, we KNOW it involves some sort of infection in his intestines and we KNOW they are inflamed. Does it matter WHAT it is causing it, or does it matter that supportive treatment commences so his body is reinforced to handle whatever is causing his issues? Needless to say, a trip to the local nutrition experts was in order. I love the staff at our local nutrition store, they are always well versed on whatever saga I need help with. Again they listened intently, asked several questions, made sure they knew any relevant underlying factors then printed off a summary sheet of ideas used against C Diff and colitis, then we went over it together so we could see what resonated, what we were already doing and what was contraindicated for his other issues. The very helpful staff at the nutrition store suggested Stamets 7 Daily Immune Support. Colostrum, Brewer's Yeast, Garden of Life Ultimate Care 34 strain probiotics, Quercetin as a natural antihistamine to calm the intestines, as well as this Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS as a probiotic fungus to further calm the inflamed and very bloated intestines. We also added in iodine drops in his water, Seeking Health liquid vitamin drops (A, D, B12 with Folate) as well as 10 Flavor Tea Pills from Traditional Chinese Medicine to help rebuild the anemic blood situation. We could have waited FOUR DAYS for a lab result, IF they bothered to order the test. Either way, their treatment would have been even more antibiotics further destroying his gut microflora with a 20% recurrence rate for C Diff. And if it was negative for C. Diff, then what? Return for another test for some other infection, stabbing in the dark? Did I mention the urgent care wasn't staffed by an MD that day, the weekend MD was a guy we've dealt with before, who we feel was inept contributing to a long term situation that was entirely avoidable. Needless to say that Urgent Care was out of the question. So now what? We moved forward with supportive nutrition. We begun the above protocol on a Friday evening, by Sunday evening he was eating comfortably, bath-rooming just fine, etc. Just 48 hours later! When I questioned his rapidly increasing activity level he firmly stated "hey, I feel like I've finally rounded a corner and doing better!" Instead of being curled up miserable in bed, he's with the family, enjoying life, and wanting to be active again. Did I mention he has stage 4 heart failure and stage 3 chronic kidney disease along with a tedious gall bladder? So I don't know exactly what role the SB + MOS performed but he appears to be fully fighting off whatever was bothering his intestines. After the first 24 hours passed he issued a decree that "a war is waging in my intestines. It feels like something's fighting the (probable) C Diff and the C Diff is fighting back but I can tell it's losing the battle." Well now that another 24 hours has passed, his color, his activity levels, his desire for food, his ease with which he's eating and NOT being miserable afterwards and most importantly, his lack of issues in the bathroom are all telling signs. Whatever he was battling, was NOT just a standard tummy bug, this situation has been gradually worsening the past THREE MONTHS! Yes, he's seen his doctors, even since the multiple labs were run, he's even been in the ER with abdominal complaints, but everyone blew it off saying his gall bladder must need to be surgically removed because a CT scan for the kidney stone 3 months ago revealed gall stones. Surgery would have required even MORE antibiotics. He says his intestines are (were) so bloated and inflamed that he feels had they cut into him even with ports laparoscopically that he feels it would have gone very wrong with his inflamed swollen intestines pushing out in all directions. I'm glad we were informed to try Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS ! He's hooked now that he's experienced the rapid reconstruction of his immune system. SB + MOS will be joining the list of things that we ALWAYS keep on hand among our natural alternative healing remedies.

Great product . Really helps. I am so pleased itbia sold by Jarrow

I’ve been using this probiotic for about four months now, and I’m really happy with the results. I struggled with pretty severe IBS for a long time, and I truly believe this probiotic has helped my gastrointestinal issues immensely. My stomach feels more settled overall, and it’s been a big improvement for my day-to-day comfort. The pill is somewhat large, but it hasn’t been hard for me to swallow. I also appreciate that it hasn’t caused me any noticeable side effects, which was something I was worried about when starting a new supplement. It’s been gentle, consistent, and easy to add into my routine. Another plus is that it’s well priced for the quality and quantity you get. The dosage also feels like the correct amount for my needs, so I don’t feel like I have to take multiple capsules just to get results. Overall, I would definitely recommend this probiotic to anyone looking for digestive support.

I take this product everyday to ensure I have a healthy digestive system. I had C-Diff many years ago. The medications prescribed by the doctor seemed to work, but then I would have C-Diff again. My wife read an article how using this product in conjunction with Floristor helped their child stop C-Diff. I tried it by taking alternate doses of each. I have not had any re-occurrences for over 6 years. I know there are a lot of products highly recommended for a healthy colon, but I chose this one because it worked for me outside of just a daily helper for your colon.

Scientific studies definitely indicate that Saccharomyces boulardii successfully treats people who suffer from diarrhea as well or better than Lactobacillus rhamnosus, the most beneficial of the lactobacilli, Bifidobacterium infantis, the most beneficial of the bifidobacteria, Bacillus subtilis natto, the most beneficial probiotic organism overall, zinc gluconate tablets, the most beneficial antioxidant mineral supplement for treating diarrhea and 2nd only to magnesium for improving overall health, and triphala capsules or tablets, the most powerful and effective natural antioxidant for dramatically increasing the numbers of all of the beneficial bacteria, treating diarrhea, treating constipation, and treating dozens of other health problems. Olive leaf tea and extra virgin olive oil are also slightly helpful against diarrhea and extremely helpful in preventing more than a dozen killer diseases in humans. Medical doctors prescribe loperamide, which is available without a prescription, for treating diarrhea but loperamide only works about half as well as Saccharomyces boulardii. Unlike all of the other diarrhea remedies that I have mentioned, loperamide has no health benefit other than making diarrhea a little less severe. The beneficial mycochemicals manufactured by Saccharomyces boulardii are not as directly beneficial to human health as the beneficial chemicals manufactured by lactic acid bacteria (lactobacilli and bifidobacteria) [such as butyrate, propionate, acetate, nitric oxide, conjugated linoleic acid, conjugated linolenic acid, unusual polysaccharides, and lactic acid] or the beneficial chemicals manufactured by Bacillus subtilis natto [such as vitamin K2/MK-7, vitamin K2/MK-8, vitamin PQQ, vitamin C, subtilisin (nattokinase), pyrazine, gamma-polyglutamic acid, scyllo-inositol, catalase, surfactin, conjugated isoflavone-phosphate, butyrate, nitric oxide, unusual polysaccharides, glycolipids, hyaluronic acid, coenzyme Q10, and bacitracin Tracy]. However, by effectively inhibiting the proliferation of the endotoxin and enterotoxin-producing bad bacteria, Saccharomyces boulardii indirectly increases the production of all of these beneficial chemicals and successfully decreases the production of inflammation-causing bacterial endotoxins and diarrhea-causing bacterial enterotoxins. Swallowing this product is the best way to get enough Saccharmyces boulardii. Although Bacillus subtilis is attracted to the living, breathing, green leaves of vegetables, eating the Japanese fermented soybean food called, natto, is the best way to get enough Bacillus subtilis natto. The best ways to get enough lactobacilli and bifidobacteria are (1)swallowing enteric-coated probiotic capsules such as Jarro-Dophilus EPS or Protec Acidophilus (made in Canada), (2)eating soy yogurt, (3)eating nonfat plain yogurt (from cows), (4)eating living, breathing, green leafy vegetables or any raw vegetables, raw fruits, raw berries, raw nuts, raw seeds, or unprocessed whole grains. Remember that all of the good bacteria (and 1 very unusual yeast) work together as a team to protect each other and kill off the pathogenic, endotoxin and enterotoxin-manufacturing, bad bacteria. Although the vast majority of fungi, molds, and yeasts are mortal enemies of the good bacteria, Saccharomyces boulardii is truly unique in that it inhibits mostly only the bad bacteria without inhibiting the good bacteria. I gave this product only 4 stars because the lactobacilli and bifidobacteria need to cling to our intestinal walls in order to multiply rapidly. This product contains MOS, which is helpful in preventing the bad bacteria from clinging to our intestinal walls but may also prevent the lactobacilli and bifidobacteria from clinging to our intestinal walls. Fortunately, Bacillus subtilis does not have the ability to cling to our intestinal walls so they are not harmed by MOS. Compared to the Japanese who eat natto regularly, Americans consume only about one-one thousandth as much Bacillus subtilis from their diets (mostly from raw green vegetables) but American intestines contain about one-tenth as much Bacillus subtilis as the intestines of Japanese who eat natto regularly. This indicates that Bacillus subtilis is strongly welcomed by the other good bacteria.

These probiotics are amazing. Easy to swallow, great value for the money and it helps support the digestive system just like I need.

A couple of years ago, I was scheduled to have 2 back surgeries. As part of the hospital's surgical protocol, I had a nasal swab which diagnosed me as a MRSA carrier. It took 4 months of antibiotic treatment to eliminate the MRSA. Had this nasal swab not been completed, I most likely would have died from the surgery. The MRSA cells would have colonize around the installed hardware used in the neck surgery. After the second low back surgery, I remained in the hospital for 11 nights. I was running a fever which they could not determine the cause. They threw many different antibiotics at me which finally worked. Eighteen months later I was allowed to resume my Rheumatoid Arthritis treatment of Remicade chemo-therapy. The goal of any RA chemical treatment is to slow down your immune system in order that your body does not over react. Fast forward to a year later. I suffered several leg wounds that became severely infected naturally requiring several rounds of various antibiotics. What I had done over these couple years was to create a perfect storm (over use of antibiotics and chemotherapy for my RA reducing my body's natural immune system response) for the bacteria Clostridium Difficile to come on in! I had heard of MRSA, but never Clostridium Difficile. In all my 63 years, I never felt as close death as I did with this bacterium. For six weeks, I was flat on my back as numerous tests were run. The first day I started with the C Diff diarrhea, I woke up feeling like I had been run over by a tracker trailer. I had severe brain fog and never should have left my house that day in my car. I had many different appointments which I cancelled most of them, except for an appointment with my wound nurse. I started out in the direction of her office. However, I was in a minor car accident. I had driven 50 miles from my home and had no idea how I had reached there. The police wanted me to go to the emergency room to determine if I was suffering a cerebral hemorrhage. Although I had several diarrhea accidents while in that hospital, they never tested my stool -- they focused on my 'brain fog'. I've since learned this can be another nasty side effect of C Diff. Instead I was discharged taking a $150 cab fare ride to get home. For the next 7 days, I sat on the toilet at home without a car suffering severe diarrhea. Fortunately, I had a wonderful neighbor that took me to my Group Health's Urgent Care located 30 miles away. There they took a stool sample right away and diagnosed C Diff 48 hours later. I was first given a 10 day course of the antibiotic Flagyl (metronidazole). A week later after completing the course of Flagyl, the diarrhea still stayed consistent. My doctor then placed me a 10 day course of Vancomycin (far better than the Flagyl ~ ask for it if you can). It is still a bumpy road since completing the Vancomycin. My doctor is trying to keep me off all antibiotics while my body tries to figure out how to fight on its own. I firmly believe without Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii Plus MOS, I would not have made the progress I have experienced. I did take 6 capsules a day of this `medication' along with 3 capsules of Jarrow's regular probiotic Ultra Jarro-Dophilus 50 billion Ultra Jarro-Dophilus, 50 Billion Probiotic Organisms Per Capsule, 60 Count (Cool Ship, Pack of 3) . I now take 4 capsules of Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii Plus MOS a day along with 2 capsules of Ultra Jarro-Dophilus 50 billion a day. I feel so fortunate to have found these Jarrow products and the C Diff comments made by others along with my doctor's endorsement of this probiotic strain -- Saccharomyces Boulardii Plus MOS. In closing, I also discovered the proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) generic medication omeprazole was another ingredient that helped create my `perfect storm' to invite the C Diff to come on in! I no longer take omeprazole in addition to stopping the Remicade. Studies have shown a fairly strong statistical correlation between PPI use and C. difficile infection, although it's still just a correlation and not proof of direct cause and effect. Some experimental evidence suggests that PPIs may change conditions in the gut to be more favorable to C. difficile bacteria.

This product is amazing. I like it very much and will become a regular customer in the future. If you are looking for help with your digestion and bowel issues this is the product for you.

My cat has been doing poorly for sometime due to IBD. But her digestion seems to have improved overnight once I started administering this product. A small amount of a capsule’s powder goes a long way.

It was very good deal on prime day! shipping was fast too! thanks seller. Product is always good and I always keep some stock.

Solo uno antes de dormir hace la diferencia

goed product en geweldige verkoper. Ik raad aan.
