Seeking Health Saccharomyces Boulardii Microbial Support
Saccharomyces Boulardii is a non-pathogenic probiotic yeast that is utilized to support normal gastrointestinal function during episodes of dietary and environmental stress.
Leading disrupters of normal gastrointestinal function:
- • Antibiotics
- • Medications
- • Disease
- • Improper Nutrition
- • Toxins
Saccharomyces Boulardii is a microorganism that is unaffected by gastric acid and bile. This unique probiotic exerts its beneficial effects as it moves through the gastrointestinal tract. S. boulardii is unaffected by antibacterial agents, and therefore may be taken along with antibacterial antibiotics. Taking S. boulardii with antibiotics may reduce symptoms of diarrhea and prevent pathogenic organisms such as Candida albicans, H. pylori, and C.difficile from gaining a foothold. S. boulardii has been shown to reduce the body's inflammatory response in the intestines.
Saccharomyces Boulardii Microbial Support may be helpful in treating:
- • C. diffcile disease
- • Inflammatory Bowel Disease
- • Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- • Gastroenteritis
- • Antibiotic associated diarrhea
- • Traveler's diarrhea
Saccharomyces 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. Saccharomyces Boulardii augments the intestinal absorption of D-glucose coupled with sodium that may enhance uptake of water and electrolytes during diarrhea.

About Seeking Health, the company
Dr. Ben Lynch, founder and Chief Medical Officer of Seeking Health, is a naturopathic physician. While majoring in Cell and Molecular biology at the University of Washington, Dr. Ben took a trip through the South Pacific and Southeast Asia that changed his outlook on traditional medicine, and his life.
During this trip, Dr. Ben hiked through the forests, mountains and coasts of Tasmania, worked a cattle ranch in the Outback of Australia, and volunteered with Mother Theresa in Calcutta. He lived in Fiji with a family having no electricity or plumbing, experienced the Himalayan Mountains of Northern India, worked a fruit orchard in New Zealand, and returned to America with an impression of a different form of medicine than he had ever experienced with his mainstream medical education.
This profound experience led Dr. Ben to Bastyr University, and he studied the Mind-Body Connection, Environmental Medicine, Functional Medicine, and Epigenetics.
Dr. Ben saw the huge need for people to obtain foundational nutrients, and Seeking Health was born. Without foundational nutrients, biochemical dysfunction occurs and causes symptoms. Doctor after doctor and person after person do not understand the absolute requirement for our bodies to have the tools to maintain function.
- • Without water, we die.
- • Without food, we die.
- • Without probiotics, we get digestive disorders.
- • Without multivitamins, we become depressed, fatigued and sick.
“If one supports their bodily systems, especially their digestion and mental health, with pure, highly absorbable, well-formulated nutrients, the ability to remain healthy and vital significantly increases. We want your foundation rock solid and we provide the tools to do so.”
-Dr. Ben Lynch, founder of Seeking Health
Seeking Health believes that the root cause for many health conditions and supplements stem from ineffective digestion, environmental exposures, poor diet, and lack of a healthy social outlet and inlet.
- • Once digestion is restored and optimized with the best probiotics, digestive enzymes, stomach acid and intestinal repair nutrients, one is able to absorb nutrients from foods and high quality multivitamins.
- • Once environmental exposures are reduced, one is able to reduce toxic burden which then frees up nutrients to work in promoting health and preventing disease.
- • Once diet is optimized, nutrients flood in, energy increases, blood sugar stabilizes and the immune system balances.
- • Creating a social outlet and inlet allows the parasympathetic nervous system to regain control over the reactive sympathetic nervous system, allowing countless nutrients to be used proactively and in a protective manner instead of being wasted on producing stress hormones.
Seeking Health is here to see you get better, and stay better. Their true passion is prevention.
Seeking Health is based in Bellingham, Washington and operated and managed by a team dedicated to bringing you better health through the best quality supplements, prebiotics, probiotics, and multivitamins.
Seeking Health brings you effective formulas produced without preservatives, colors, titanium dioxide, coloring, or gluten.

Great Product Review by PPat
Order ID 167449
I started using S.Boulardii after I was diagnosed with gastritis and H. Pylori. Taking S.Boulardii every day after dinner has kept my symptoms in check and eased my stomach pains.
I highly recommend this product.

A Comprehensive Probiotic Review by SharJoy
After my daughter was given Prednisone, to combat Poison Sumac in 2002, she was extremely sick for five years until a doctor determined that she had no good bacteria in her gut, but was consumed with bad bacteria.
He recommended that she take Saccharomyces Boulardii, because it combats the detrimental bacteria while replacing it with the beneficial bacteria. Though she will probably be on this probiotic the rest of her life, we are so grateful to say that her health has completely returned. She eats normally and has regained all the weight she lost when she was so ill.
I heartily recommend this product both for its versatility and its comprehensive nature to heal the colon even from severe imbalance.
It is the only product of which we are aware, that will kill the detrimental bacteria in the colon, while replacing it with beneficial bacteria. It's definitely a win win product!

Questions on Seeking Health Saccharomyces Boulardii Microbial Support
- Melanie at 12/28/11 10:11 PM
- My Husband and I have both have symptoms of IBS, we are both taking colloidal silver right now for a sinus infection. I would like to get both of our digestive tracts back into good working order. I've had IBS for over 10 years. It goes back & fourth between constipation & diarrhea, but more commonly constipation. My husband has been having symptoms of IBS for about a year, he more commonly has diarrhea. Would you recommend this product for us to get back into a healthy digestive tract? Or what regimen would you suggest? Thanks!
- Hi Melanie - Excellent question. IBS is typically food and flora related. It can also be related to to a gene mutation known as MTHFR. Those with MTHFR commonly have IBS. Consider testing for this through your physician as it is likely covered by your insurance. If you don't have insurance or your doc won't order it, you may obtain it here: http://www.healthegoods.com/mthfr-test.html Good news is if you have this MTHFR mutation - you can bypass it through nutrition. Learn more at www.MTHFR.net First thing is to eliminate: - wheat - dairy products Do this for two weeks. While doing this, also try the following: - 4 capsules of Saccharomyces Boulardii a day after dinner - 1/4 teaspoon of ProBiota 12 Powder for 1 week and then increase to 1/2 teaspoon for another week and then increase to 1 teaspoon for 2 weeks. http://www.healthegoods.com/pro-biota-12-powder-maximum-support-200-billion-cfus-twelve-species-60-grams-seeking-health.html - Pro-Digestion Intensive - take 1 capsule with each large meal to help digest the foods: http://www.healthegoods.com/pro-digestion-intensive-120-vegetarian-capsules.html - Due to the prevelance of IBS and MTHFR, I highly recommend you try Sublingual Active B12 with Methylfolate. Simply place one tablet under your tongue and allow it to dissolve - no chewing or biting. http://www.healthegoods.com/sublingual-active-b12-metafolin-seeking-health.html These two nutrients are essential for those with MTHFR and people in general. As odd of a recommendation as this may seem, I highly suggest you consider it. Both of you may significantly benefit from this - along with the other suggestions. Also consider a Castor Oil Pack over your abdomen twice a day. Google how to do this and do while watching TV, reading a book or simply relaxing in bed. Keep me posted how you both do. Best Dr Ben

- History of antibiotic use at 2/2/12 3:30 PM
- Hello,
I was curious about this product. First, this is a form of yeast. What if a person is sensitive to yeast and prone to yeast infection easily. Is this type of yeast a problem?
Also, I have a history of chronic constipation. I also have a history of antibiotic use. It was many years ago, but it was a combination of strong oral/IV antibiotics for a year for Lyme treatment. I have had a lot of detox/natural medicine work over the years including probiotics, but still have this problem. Is this product useful long after the antibiotic issue for the chronic constipation? - Hello - Saccharomyces Boulardii is actually a healthy form of yeast that kills candida. I recommend taking 1 capsule of Saccharomyces Boulardii along with 1 capsule of ProBiota 12 after dinner on an on-going basis. If you are prone to constipation, I'd also add in Liver Nutrients and take 1 capsule with dinner. Consider taking 1 capsule of Pro-Digestion Intensive with each large meal - that may help stimulate your bowels as well. Drinking some lemon juice (1 tablespoon) in a 1/2 cup of filtered water and SIPPING it before meals is also very effective at reducing constipation. Castor Oil packs over the abdomen are also amazingly beneficial. Limit the intake of water or drinks with meals as they dilute digestive fluids. Best Dr Ben

- h. pylori at 2/26/13 10:25 AM
- A few years back I was tested positive for the helicobacter pylori bacteria and was put on antibiotics. (I should mention I was also given a lot of antibiotics as a child due to ear infections etc.)
I believe the antibiotics didn’t help kill the h. pylori.
I have all kinds of problems like: on going, non-stop burping that starts out of nowhere either by drinking water or eating or even on an empty stomach. I've had unexplained armpit odor that doesn’t go away even with proper hygiene. I've tried all kinds of deodorants. This problem started years ago. It has ruined and keeps ruining my life. I believe there's a connection with how poorly my digestion is to the odor.
I also breakout with acne easily especially during my menstrual cycle, I get extremely painful menstrual cramps, I am very skinny but I always feel bloated and even more so after any meal, I have to literally stop eating for a day or two for my stomach to feel flat. I have other symptoms as well but the ones I mentioned are the worst that I can remember and I would do anything to get rid of especially the underarm odor because there's nothing that will get rid of it. Please, please any advice would be helpful. I have attempted using digestive enzymes, probiotics, acv, hcl, etc. (the list is long) but I'm either not using the right products or I'm not doing the right protocol. I'm just really confused I guess. I just want to move on with my life and to not be stuck any longer in this situation and depression :(.
Would really appreciate to hear back from you.
Thank You.
Thank you for your questions. It sounds like you have a lot going on and are very frustrated. I don’t blame you!
For the h. pylori, consider 1 daily capsule of Saccharomyces Boulardii, which is a beneficial yeast that helps eliminate many pathogenic organisms. Pair that with a high quality probiotic.
The probiotic is very helpful for your gastrointestinal health. The probiotics will also help with the bloating and burping after meals. I recommend you consider taking either Probiota 12 powder (1/4 tsp. for one week and then increase to 1/2 tsp.) or ProBiota 12 capsules (2 capsules) about 10 minutes after dinner.
If you continue to have the negative GI symptoms after using the ProBiota 12 and Saccharomyces Boulardii, then you may be ingesting foods which you should avoid and/or you should be taking digestive enzymes and stomach acid. But we can cross that bridge when we get to it.
Regarding the acne, there are many causes of acne—diet, lifestyle, hormonal, topical products like soaps, lotions, etc. Since it’s impossible for me to know the cause of your acne, the probiotic should help since having a healthy digestive system is critical to having clean skin. Also consider taking some cell salts specific to treating and healing acne. Cell salts are safe and natural. There are several cell salts used to treat and heal acne, including: Silica, Calc Sulph, Kali Sulph. Consider the product Acne – Tissue D, which is formulated for treating acne.
Other cell salts to consider: Cell salt Mag Phos #8 helps with menstrual cramps, and cell salt Nat Phos #10 works as an acid neutralizer and aids indigestion.
Let me know how you are doing and if you have any other questions.

- Hi is this safe to take during pregnancy?
Hi there,
Not enough is known about the use of Saccharomyces boulardii during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It is best to consult with your physician first before supplementing with this.
