Hello. I'm a pharmacist Jinny.
You must have had the experience of being prescribed antibiotics at the hospital and being prescribed a dress up at the same time. Medications are prescribed together to prevent side effects such as indigestion, abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea caused by the death of beneficial bacteria in the body due to the action of antibiotics. Today, we're going to look at the main ingredient in the cosmetic pills that are prescribed to relieve the side effects of antibiotics, Saccharomyces boulardii.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a type of probiotic, and because it is a yeast fungus, not a bacterium, it is characterized by its tenacity to survive in high temperatures and acidic environments. Because of this, it survives in very deteriorated intestinal environments such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. As powerful as its survivability, its antimicrobial power is also a hallmark of Saccharomyces boulardi.
1. Improvement of acute diarrhea and various diarrhea symptoms
Have you ever had diarrhea with sudden abdominal pain when you ate cold, spicy, salty, or irritating foods, or while traveling? Clinical studies have consistently reported that Saccharomyces boulardii is useful in improving the symptoms of acute diarrhea.
This year, the Journal of Fungi published the results of a meta-study that comprehensively reviewed existing papers on Saccharomyces boulardi. In this review, we reviewed the main clinical studies of Saccharomyces boulardii and reported the results as follows [1].
"It has been observed to contribute to the improvement of several diarrhoeal symptoms, including diarrhea in children, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, acute diarrhea, traveler's diarrhea caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites, and intestinal nutrition-related diarrhea."
2. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS; Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
If you're stressed and rush to the bathroom, you've probably experienced it yourself or seen it around you, but it's medically diagnosed as irritable bowel syndrome. This is especially common in test takers, and for those who suffer from it, it can be a significant stressor.
In the same paper as the one introduced above, we also reviewed the clinical study of Saccharomyces boulardi's improvement in irritable bowel syndrome and reported the results [2].
"Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms, which include frequent bloating, abdominal pain, and impaired intestinal transmission, also improved with the administration of Saccharomyces boulardi."
3. Anti-Candida
Saccharomyces boulardii, which is characterized by strong viability and antimicrobial properties, has been shown in studies to help eliminate Candida bacteria as well as intestinal disorders. Candida is commonly known as the causative agent of vaginitis, but it is also a fungus that has been blamed for skin diseases, indigestion, acid reflux, and chronic fatigue.
In 2009, FEMS Yeast Research published a study that revealed the anti-candida mechanism of Saccharomyces boulardii [3].
"This suggests that Saccharomyces boulardii can be used for the prevention and treatment of Candida-induced infections."
That's a brief overview of the main features of Saccharomyces boulardi, which has been validated by the scientific community. Don't forget that Saccharomyces boulardii is not a resident bacteria that lives in the human gut, so it's important to consume it consistently.
So, I hope you have a healthy day in body and mind. It was Jinny.
