Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii Probiotics + MOS 5 Billion CFU Probiotic Yeast for Intestinal Health Support, Gut Health Supplements for Women and Men, 90 Veggie Capsules, 90 Day Supply

Description

Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS Veggie
Capsules combine a clinically studied probiotic yeast strain with a prebiotic
to help individuals in greater need of intestinal protection, such as those
who travel. Made with high-quality, non-GMO ingredients, this vegan and gluten
free dietary supplement contains no wheat, soybeans, dairy, egg, fish,
shellfish, peanuts, tree nuts or sesame. Each capsule delivers 5 billion CFU
of Saccharomyces boulardii, a probiotic yeast shown to help support the
intestinal tract. This supplement also provides MOS (mannaoligosaccharide), a
prebiotic that feeds beneficial bacteria in the gut to help maintain normal
intestinal microflora. Suggested Use: Adults, take one capsule once a day with
water or as directed by your qualified healthcare professional. Informed by
strong scientific research, Jarrow Formulas products are carefully crafted to
ensure you get the benefit of each and every vitamin, mineral and supplement.
In the natural health world, the term “yeast” is typically
associated in a positive way with “brewer’s/nutritional” yeast, or in a
negative way with Candida albicans (i.e., as in yeast infections). One
association that is not commonly made is “probiotic.” Nevertheless, that’s
exactly what Saccharomyces boulardii is, a beneficial yeast used as a
probiotic agent to support gastrointestinal health. Its most important use is
when intestinal flora come under assault, such as during antibiotic use or
when traveling.Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii + MOS, 90 Vegetarian

(S. boulardii) typically reaches a maximum steady state in 3 days when taken
orally, but does not multiply in the gut. Less than one percent of the
ingested quantity is recovered from stools, indicating that supplementation
with S. boulardii should take place regularly to achieve continuing
benefits.Occasional Diarrhea S. boulardii is particularly effective in
relation to occasional diarrhea from various causes. The efficacy of taking
S. boulardii orally has been demonstrated in helping to decrease the chances
or intensity of traveler’s diarrhea, antibiotic-associated diarrhea and some
food spoilage related diarrhea. In fact, meta-analyses of the pooled results
from studies suggest that S. boulardii can decrease the relative risk of
antibiotic-associated diarrhea by 57 percent to 63 percent. S. boulardii
produces proteases that may help to reduce the negative effects of C.
difficile produced toxins A and B. S. boulardii can also interact with
undesirable intestinal microorganisms and reduce their adherence to the
intestinal wall. S. boulardii may also reduce sodium secretion and thereby
guard against water-loss from intestinal cells during occasional
diarrhea.Hypersensitive Bowel Individuals with a hypersensitive bowel may
experience more inflammatory episodes and frequent bowel movements. Taking S.
boulardii regularly may help guard against such intrusions in daily life.
Other evidence shows that taking 250 mg S. boulardii three times daily can
help maintain better lower intestinal health.Skin Health Although secondary
to its effects on gastrointestinal health, S.boulardii may benefit skin
health. In a randomized, double-blind study involving 139 human subjects with
noncystic acne, the effectiveness and tolerance of S. boulardii was studied in
comparison with a placebo over a maximum period of five months. The results of
S. boulardii oral intake were assessed as very good/good in 74.3 percent of
the patients receiving the preparation, as compared with 21.7 percent in the
placebo group. More than 80 percent of the people in the S. boulardii group
were judged to be considerably or completely improved, while the corresponding
figure for the placebo group was only 26 percent.Mannanoligosaccharides
Mannans are polysaccharides consisting of long-chains of the sugar mannose.
They are found abundantly on the surface of human intestinal cells and play a
critical role in signaling immune cells. Microorganisms typically use these
mannans as footholds in the intestines, so it makes sense that the body has
evolved mechanisms to start mobilizing a response at the “point of contact.”
What’s interesting is that mannans are also expressed on the cell walls of S.
boulardii. And it’s believed that these mannans that coat S. boulardii act as
anchor site decoys to unfriendly bacteria, providing one mechanism of action
by which S. boulardii helps to protect the digestive tract.
Mannanoligosaccharides (MOS) are shorter versions of mannans that are
similarly non-digestible, chains of mannose units. Structurally, they look
like the mannans expressed on cells that line the digestive tract. So it is
perhaps not surprising that they also act like mannans in some respects. In
fact, microorganisms floating through the digestive tract can bind the
ingested, free-flowing MOS “hoping” to get a foothold in the intestines.
Instead they are “tricked” into a ride through the digestive system and
eventually are flushed from the body. And although this often occurs with
bacteria, other microorganisms such as Candida species of yeast are also known
to be susceptible to this protective mechanism of MOS. Saccharomyces
boulardii + MOS provides a synergistic effect in promoting intestinal defense
by combining the multi-modal probiotic organism S. boulardii with the added
benefits of free-flowing MOS. S. boulardii promotes the health of the
intestinal tract, helps support beneficial microbiota in the intestinal
ecosystem, and enhances immune function alone, while MOS assists by helping
guard against the adhesion of microorganisms to epithelial cells in the
intestines. Saccharomyces boulardii + MOS is not affected by antibiotics, and
does not require refrigeration, i.e., it can be stored at room temperature.
Refrigeration will, however, extend the shelf life. Avoid temperatures above
77 F (25 C).About Jarrow Formulas Jarrow Formulas’ complete line of over 350
