AOR AOR - Saccharomyces Boulardii 250mg (5,000,000,000 CFU†), 90 cap
AOR Saccharomyces Boulardii - Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic yeast, shown to be effective against intestinal complications induced by antibiotics and clostridium difficile, such as diarrhea and other forms of intestinal discomfort. Saccharomyces boulardii significantly reduces both the risk and the duration of diarrhea. It has also been used to treat acute diarrhea and gastroenteritis in children with good results.

Why people keep reordering it
- Researched strains
- Specific, studied strains at counts high enough to reach your gut.
- Guaranteed live cultures
- Potency held through the end of shelf life, not just at manufacture.
- Digestive balance
- Supports regularity, bloating and a healthy gut barrier.
Best suited to: starting a course of antibiotics, prone to loose stools after antibiotic use, wants a probiotic that doesn't need refrigeration.
What the research supports
One capsule provides 250 mg of Saccharomyces boulardii, about 5 billion CFU. Three capsules a day means the 90-capsule bottle lasts a month.
Studies use 5 to 10 billion CFU a day.
- Digestive upset (evidence: strong, from rct, meta-analysis)
- This yeast survives stomach acid without a special coating and keeps working through a full day's dosing. Human trials consistently show it shortens bouts of diarrhea and lowers how often they happen.

Is it right for you
Worth it if
- starting a course of antibiotics
- S. boulardii is a yeast, not a bacterium, so antibiotics don't kill it off the way they do bacterial probiotic strains, making it a practical choice to take during treatment.
- prone to loose stools after antibiotic use
- the 15 billion CFU daily dose from three capsules matches amounts shown to reduce the risk and duration of antibiotic-associated diarrhea.
- wants a probiotic that doesn't need refrigeration
- it's shelf stable, so it travels and stores without a fridge, unlike many multi-strain bacterial blends.
Look elsewhere if
- someone immune-compromised or on long-term corticosteroids
- Speak to a practitioner first. This is a live yeast, and the label flags exactly that history before use.
What to expect
If diarrhea shows up during antibiotic use, taking this from the start of the course through a few days after finishing is the typical window people use it in, based on how the studies are structured. It's not a fast-acting symptom reliever; it works by helping keep gut flora more stable through the disruption, so effects are about prevention or shortening duration, not instant relief.
How it compares
- Compared with a multi-strain bacterial probiotic (Lactobacillus/Bifidobacterium blend)
- S. boulardii survives antibiotics and stomach acid without enteric coating, so it can be taken during a course of antibiotics rather than only after. The tradeoff: it doesn't offer the broader strain diversity that bacterial blends provide for general gut flora support once antibiotics aren't a factor.
