Pro1 Essentials: a potent immune boosting strain of S. Boulardii that acts as BOTH a Pro and Pre-Biotic. Perfect for help with bacterial overgrowth and to help balance yeast.

S. boulardii increases the activity of intestinal brush border enzymes such as disaccharidases, a-glucosidases, alkaline phosphatases, and aminopeptidases. As the primary ingredient in Pro1 Essentials, S. boulardii secretes a leucine aminopeptidase that appears to defend against allergies to dietary proteins following acute gastroenteritis. Pro1 Essentials is a great choice for a Probiotic formulation when you need specific help against Clostridium Difficile or as an add on to your current Probiotic dosing regimen.

S. boulardii is genetically and functionally distinct from brewer’s yeast (S. cerevisiae) and different from pathogenic Candida species. S. boulardii increases the activities of intestinal brush border enzymes such as disaccharidases, a-glucosidases, alkaline phosphatases, and aminopeptidases. It secretes a leucine aminopeptidase that appears to support against allergies to dietary proteins following acute gastroenteritis. S. boulardii augments the intestinal absorption of D-glucose coupled with sodium that may enhance uptake of water and electrolytes during diarrhea. It increases stool concentrations of short-chain fatty acids that nourish colon mucosal cells. Oral intake of S. boulardiiincreases colonic populations of healthful bifidobacteria and reduces numbers of pathogenic clostridia. It modulates immunity by boosting intestinal secretion of IgA and increasing crypt cell immuno-globulin receptors. It inhibits inflammatory cytokine pathways and secretes a factor that blocks C. difficile toxin A activities. Research has found that S. boulardii supports healthy intestinal function in an array of clinical settings including antibiotic-associated diarrhea, C. difficile disease, inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, and traveler’s diarrhea.
