ProbioBalance by Aliness® Saccharomyces Boulardii is a dietary supplement containing lyophilised yeast cultures of the strain Saccharomyces boulardii DBVPG 6763 in the patented form BIOOTIC™, enriched with the prebiotic Fibregum™ Bio LAW and a ribwort plantain extract. One capsule contains 5 billion Saccharomycetes. The preparation displays bioequivalence with a popular product containing S. boulardii. The bottle made of violet glass protects capsules from sun radiation, extending their freshness and usefulness.

Saccharomyces boulardii (S. cerevisiae) is a species of yeast commonly found in nature. Because of their scientifically-proven beneficial effects on the human organism, S. boulardii strains are categorised as probiotics.

Support for H. pylori eradication therapy
Helicobacter pylori is a species of bacteria that highly contributes to the development of ulcers, the inflammation of gastric mucosa, and gastric cancer. H. pylori carriers are subjected to the so-called eradication therapy, which aims at eliminating all forms of the bacteria and is often connected with adverse reactions within the digestive system. Tests have shown that supplementation with S. boulardii helps to inhibit H. pylori colonisation, alleviate the side effects of therapy (such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, nausea), and even to a small extent aids the therapy itself!

Antibiotic-associated diarrhoea prevention
Depending on the antibiotic they are taking, antibiotic-associated diarrhoea occurs in about 5-40% of patients. The reason of that type of diarrhoea is the distortion of the balance of intestinal microflora that the drugs cause, so a natural way of preventing it is probiotic therapy. Results of meta-analyses and randomised clinical tests unanimously demonstrate the efficiency of S. boulardii yeasts at reducing the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea both in adults and in children.

Prevention of C. difficile-induced diarrhoea
Clostridium difficile is a bacterial species that induces pseudomembranous colitis, which is also called C. difficile colitis. The condition is caused by disorders in the balance of intestinal microflora (often induced by broad-spectrum antibiotics). S. boulardii yeasts are the only ones that exhibit the unique capability of enzymatic modifications of the receptors for C. difficile toxins. Numerous randomised tests have shown that supplementation with S. boulardii significantly reduces the risk of recurring diarrhoea caused by C. difficile. Currently, the use of S. boulardii for that purpose is recommended by the American College of Gastroenterology.

Reduction of IBS symptoms
IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) is a condition whose cause as well as an efficient way to treat it have still not been found. However, probiotic therapy seems to be a promising option. Randomised tests conducted on patients with IBS have shown that supplementation with S. boulardii strains affects the cytokine profile: the amount of anti-inflammatory cytokines increases, while pro-inflammatory cytokines decrease. Another study demonstrated a reduction of some symptoms of IBS and a subjective improvement of life quality in patients using a S. boulardii preparation.

Dietary fibre for intestinal function regulation
The polysaccharide Fibregum™ is soluble dietary fibre obtained from acacia. Its water activity is below 0.2, thanks to which it creates a good environment for sensitive microorganisms and does not affect their metabolism. Unlike another popular agent, inulin, Fibregum™ is a large polysaccharide, which translates into longer bacterial fermentation. Thanks to that, it does not cause flatulence. As a prebiotic, the polysaccharide provides valuable nutrients that affect the immune system and regulate intestinal function, which takes place in the large intestine as a result of bacterial fermentation.

Ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata) is a perennial plant with a positive effect particularly on the mucosa in the body and the functioning of the digestive system. Thanks to the presence of mucous polysaccharides and iridoid glycosides, ribwort leaves have an alleviating and anti-inflammatory effect on mucous membranes (especially in the gastrointestinal tract). Moreover, ribwort plantain exhibits antimicrobial and immunostimulatory properties.

To sum up, ProbioBalance by Aliness® Saccharomyces Boulardii is a dietary supplement containing yeast cultures with documented properties. The preparation is particularly recommended for preventing and treating various types of diarrhoea (particularly antibiotic-associated and travellers’ diarrhoea), for preventive purposes during antibiotic therapy, for restoring the balance of intestinal microflora, and alleviating gastric problems, e.g., in the case of IBS.
