BioCeuticals SB Floractiv Summary:

  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Boulardii) supports healthy immune system function and helps reduce the occurrence of symptoms of traveller’s diarrhoea as well as relieves diarrhoea in children and adults.
  • BioCeuticals Saccharomyces boulardii (SB), a subspecies of S. cerevisiae, is a non-pathogenic biotherapeutic probiotic agent that supports the establishment of friendly bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT).
  • In the GIT, SB increases the production of secretory IgA (slgA), short-chain fatty acids and the activity of the brush border disaccharide digestive enzymes.
  • It also discourages the growth of unfriendly micro-organisms and reduces digestive inflammatory mediators.

Travellers’ diarrhoea

Travellers’ diarrhoea (TD) is a common health problem; incidence ranges from between 5–50% depending on the destination.1 The incubation period is usually between two and three days1 and major symptoms include diarrhoea (four to six loose, watery or bloody bowel movements per day), nausea and abdominal cramps. If untreated, the duration of TD is between two and six days.1 Most cases of TD (80%–85%) are due to infection by bacterial pathogens such as enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, enteroaggregative E. coli, Campylobacter jejuni, Shigella spp., Salmonella spp., Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Plesiomonas shigelloides, Aeromonas hydrophila, Yersinia entercolitica and Vibrio cholerae.1,3

The most common cause of bacterial TD is one of the seven types of diarrheagenic E. coli.1 Less frequent causes of TD are viruses (rotavirus or norovirus)2 and parasites (Entamoeba Suggested dose range for adults Condition Probiotic digestive support; relief of digestive discomfort Traveller’s diarrhoea Diarrhoea Immune support Warnings histolytica, Giardia lamblia and Cryptosporidium spp.).4 Sometimes the cause cannot be determined.

Saccharomyces boulardii (SB)

Probiotics are live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.5 Equilibrium within the gastrointestinal microflora is essential to good health, this resists colonisation of the digestive tract by pathogenic microorganisms. Disruption of the intestinal microflora occurs in many pathological situations such as infectious diarrhoea.6

There are several mechanisms by which SB may prevent and relieve diarrhoea. These include regulation of intestinal microbial balance, interference with pathogens capacity to colonise, infect and inflame the mucosa, modulation of immune responses, maintenance of the gastrointestinal barrier function and initiation of enzymatic activity preferring absorption and nutrition.7
