Fairfield Nutrition Thoughts
Yomogi provides a single, well-characterised yeast strain, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) HANSEN CBS 5926 / CNCM I-745, at a disclosed amount of 250 mg and a minimum of 2.5 billion CFU per capsule. The lyophilised, blister-sealed format means no refrigeration is required, which makes it genuinely useful for travel or antibiotic courses where cold storage is not practical. Every capsule is individually sealed, which gives confidence in potency through to the end of the pack.
When to Consider This
This product supports gastrointestinal system health and healthy immune system function. It makes sense if you are:
- Travelling internationally and want to reduce the occurrence of traveller’s diarrhoea symptoms, starting five days before departure.
- Taking a course of antibiotics and want to help maintain beneficial gut flora during that period.
- An adult or child experiencing diarrhoea who needs a no-refrigeration-required option.
- A parent whose child aged 2 to 6 years needs a probiotic that can be mixed into food or liquid.
Supplement strategy: Yomogi is often introduced at the start of antibiotic use or before travel, and taken for the duration of that period. It can also be used as needed for acute diarrhoea.
⚠️ Not suitable for: pregnant or breastfeeding women, people hypersensitive to Saccharomyces cerevisiae or yeast, people who are immunocompromised or hospitalised, patients with a central venous catheter, children under 2 years. Consult your healthcare professional before use if you have a pre-existing condition.
