Description

FloraMyces by Designs for Health is the non-pathogenic yeast, Saccharomyces boulardii, which possesses probiotic activity that supports gastrointestinal health and immune function. This formula contains 5 billion viable cells at time of manufacture of S. boulardii per capsule. This strain does not require refrigeration and has the ability to survive passage through the harsh gastric environment, withstanding high acidity, bile and heat.

Several factors in the modern lifestyle, such as poor diet, stress, and certain medications, may disrupt the balance of microorganisms that inhabit the gastrointestinal system. These microorganisms, collectively known as the “gut flora,” help influence healthy digestion and bowel function, as well as supporting the immune system via lymphoid tissue associated with the intestines. Supplementation with probiotics may help promote healthy gut flora by populating the lower intestines with beneficial bacteria, while serving as a counterbalance to other bacterial strains, the overgrowth of which may lead to compromised intestinal health.

The probiotic in Floramyces—Saccharomyces boulardii—is a type of yeast isolated from lychee fruits. Its efficacy in promoting intestinal health was first noted by a French microbiologist working in Vietnam in the 1920s. Dr. Boulard, for whom the boulardii strain was named, observed that a native drink made from this fruit was effective for ameliorating the diarrhea associated with a cholera outbreak. The active component was isolated and identified as this particular strain of yeast.

Because many probiotic organisms are destroyed by heating, it is rare to find a quality probiotic that does not require refrigeration. This product contains a strain of Saccharomyces boulardii that is freeze-dried and remains viable without refrigeration. S. boulardii is non-pathogenic, as well as acid-resistant and temperature-tolerant. In addition, unlike other products containing this organism, FloraMyces™ is free of dairy and lactose, making it a suitable probiotic for individuals with a sensitivity to dairy.
