Saccharomyces Boulardii 5 Billion CFU 90 Capsules | UK Manufactured | Vegetarian | Gluten & Dairy Free | with Added Olive Leaf, Vitamin D and Biotin

Saccharomyces Boulardii 5 Billion CFU 90 Capsules | UK Manufactured | Vegetarian | Gluten & Dairy Free | with Added Olive Leaf, Vitamin D and BiotinIt’s quite hard to review a supplement like this as often the beneficial effects can take time to work. However I can cover the basics, although please take what I have written as not medical advice. Or indeed right or wrong as I am not a clinician.I usually take probiotics in the form of daily yoghurt supplements, but sometimes you just don’t fancy dairy or are dairy intoilerant, so that’s where these tablets come in.Small, easily swallowed and packed with 5 billion CFU of the stomach acid resistant Saccharomyces Boulardii per capsule, with Olive Leaf, Biotin and Vitamin D (half or the RDA which is good). That has to be good for you right? Well yes but the main ingredient in these capsules is the aforementioned Saccharomyces Boulardii. Saccharomyces Boulardii is actually tropical yeast first isolated from lychee and mangosteen fruit peel in 1923 by French scientist Henri Boulard. It is classed as a "probiotic," which is a friendly organism that helps to fight off "bad" organisms that might cause diseases.As far as I can make out the main benefit of this capsule is to help with digestive upsets and I am not sure it is really intended for daily use like the yoghurt probiotic mentioned above, although from what I can make out it does no harm if you do take it daily, so I may be wrong here.It does not mention this on the packet so as I say, I could be wrong, so I would suggest you do your own research to make sure.All in all though it would appear to do what it says on the packet with a bonus of half of your recommended daily intake of Vitamin D per tablet which is no bad thing. Dosage is up to 6 tablets per day, no more.

As a sufferer with diverticular disease and IBS I have found that regularly taking Boulardii really does provide benefit. It keeps my digestive system healthy and under control, keeps me regular, alleviates bloating, prevents spasm attacks and generally makes me feel better. I have also had bouts of fascial rosacea in the past but have noticed that since taking Boulardii that has completely disappeared. This Sacharomyces Boulardii from Vitavolve is good value for 90 capsules. A decent strength and easy to swallow, these, like other Vitavolve products, are formulated from naturally sourced quality ingredients.

If you travel or get an upset stomach, this product is a lifesaver. It can also help if you have candida as it can hoover up many bad strains of bacteria in the gut.I have been in the supplement business for many years. I have used Saccharomyces Boulardii for over 5 years. I became very ill on a trip to Germany. My stomach could not take the water and I had violent/horrific stomach issues. The problem would not stop. I stopped eating, that did not help, as I had to drink water. I tried different types of water, but that did not help. I went to a chemist and bought over-the-counter Immodium, but that had absolutely no effect. Nothing would stop it. I then did some research on natural ways to stop what was happening. My research brought me to research Saccharomyces boulardii and so I bought some via Amazon.de. Within 24 hours the symptoms eased, within 72 hours the symptoms had gone. It was like a miracle in a bottle.Now in saying all of this, not all SB is exactly the same. I have tested bottles that have 5 Billion SB's in them and they have no effect. I have written very bad reviews for those products. This particular brand works and it works well. I always take this product with me when I travel, as it will help ease an upset stomach very quickly and without all the side effects of Immodium. If you have severe problems, then you may need to take up to 3 tablets, to begin with, and then one or two throughout the day. This regime will usually stop the problem within a few hours or not within a day. It alters the gut flora, so is not an instant fix.This is a great product and one I am happy to recommend.

Have taken similar on its own without the extras here for years now so needed no convincing on the benefits and having used these up am very happy that they are just as effective as my others but love the fact they have added vitamin D and olive leaf too as these are both supplements I take regularly so is handy having them all combined and good value so would recommend and get again.

This is our vegetarian product but there is no mention of it being suitable for vegans. It contains vitamin D3 and I suspect this is from a vegetarian rather than vegan source. The packaging and labelling is an absolute nightmare to read as it is very blurry and small. I had to instead use the product page photographs before using. You don’t have to refrigerate this and it can be stored at room temperature. You get 90 tablets and the recommended dosage is to take three daily although it does say you can take a maximum of six. So are you are looking at this probably lasting you a month. you get a decent expiry date of all for 18 months from the time of ordering.
