Question 1

Why this formulation and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Each capsule contains two organisms: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) at 7.5 billion CFU and Bifidobacterium lactis at 5 billion CFU. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (boulardii) is a yeast, which gives it a structurally distinct character from bacterial probiotic species. Bifidobacterium lactis is a bacterial species commonly found in probiotic formulations.
The capsules are made from hypromellose (a vegetable-derived material), with no gelatin used. The formula is manufactured without gluten, dairy protein, lactose, soy protein, eggs, nuts, corn, starch, or artificial additives. Refrigeration from manufacture through to the consumer is part of how Metagenics maintains viable organism counts to the end of the pack.
Gastrointestinal Function
This product supports healthy gastrointestinal function and helps maintain good gut flora. It also helps restore beneficial intestinal flora, and supports healthy gastrointestinal immune function.
Gut Flora During Antibiotic Use
The formula helps maintain and support beneficial gut flora during antibiotic use — a context in which many people look for probiotic support.
Diarrhoea Support
The product helps reduce the occurrence of diarrhoea and helps reduce the occurrence of symptoms of traveller&#8217;s diarrhoea.

Question 2

When should I consider this product?
