Saccharomyces boulardii is a probiotic yeast, which makes it different from many probiotic supplements made with bacterial strains such as Lactobacillus or Bifidobacterium. Herba® Saccharomyces Boulardii uses Saccharomyces boulardii whole cell, with 10 billion CFU per capsule.
That 10B CFU strength gives the formula a clear potency point compared with many common 5B CFU S. boulardii products. Instead of needing multiple capsules to reach a stronger daily amount, Herba® Saccharomyces Boulardii keeps the routine simple with just 1 capsule per day for ages 6 and over.
The capsule format also matters. Herba® Saccharomyces Boulardii comes in delayed-release vegetable capsules, often shortened to DR capsules, which are designed to release later in the digestive process rather than immediately after swallowing. It is a thoughtful format for a probiotic product, especially for people who want something convenient but still carefully designed.
Each bottle contains 90 DR vegetable capsules, giving a full 90-day supply when taken as directed. The formula is shelf stable, so it does not require refrigeration, which makes it easier to keep at home, at work, or while travelling.
The formula also includes fructooligosaccharides, commonly known as FOS, as a non-medicinal ingredient. FOS is often used in probiotic formulas as a prebiotic fibre ingredient, and here it is included alongside cellulose, hypromellose, and L-leucine.
Herba® Saccharomyces Boulardii is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, made in Canada, and manufactured following cGMP standards. It is also third-party tested and NPN licensed by Health Canada, giving the product a clear quality and regulatory foundation without needing refrigeration or a complicated routine.
