Saccharomyces Boulardii is not like any other probiotic

go ask google or chatgpt to explain why and you'll get it, more than I can narrate here

it will not colonize and can even be taken with antibiotics to help the gut survive

as long as the person is not allergic to yeast they would be fine in theory

once a person stops taking it there is no trace of it in your system 3-5 days later

ps. never take multi-strain probiotics, if you think the supplement world is sketchy there is absolutely no regulation or consistency to the probiotic world

Just in case you thought I had anything to do with your comment being d-voted, I didn't. I almost never d-vote anything, and my comment-voting 'privileges' have been suspended due to excess u-voting. That said, I was not disputing your suggestion, but rather adding a pinch of anecdote. Saccharomyces Boulardii is one of the only 'probiotics' regularly used in clinical environments, and for good reason. Its protective effects in C-Diff alone give it credibility lacking in many prescription medicines.

No dispute here, other than for cases of compromised immunity, where pretty much everything is a potential risk.
