Lynside® Pro SCB

Lynside® Pro SCB is a probiotic yeast, well documented by scientific papers. It is a light brown, rod-shaped, hygroscopic powder with a yeasty flavor and aroma. The strain used by Lesaffre, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii I 3799, helps intestinal comfort and contributes to maintain the intestinal flora. Lynside® Pro SCB provides typically 20x109 CFU/g. Lynside® Pro SCB is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii, grown on a molasses based media, and is a probiotic that helps maintain intestinal flora and comfort.
 
Saccharomyces Boulardii is a food supplement of probiotics, which promote the balance of intestinal flora. The product provides 6 billions of colony-forming units of Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. boulardii per daily dose.
Saccharomyces boulardii is a non-pathogenic probiotic yeast, which exerts a direct constricting effect on many pathogens that has been used in Europe for decades in treating different types of diarrhoea. 
 
Because of its "not being a bacterium", its pharmacokinetic properties of absorption, metabolism, distribution and elimination are very different from the other so-called "bacterial" probiotics, because it passes through the intestine and is neither absorbed nor metabolised. Once administered orally, it resists the gastric environment and biliary acids, reaching the intestine alive and effective, without being absorbed reaching "steady-state" concentrations within 3 days, and it is eliminated within 5 days after the treatment stops.
 
A very important feature, which is why it has been used for so long in clinical settings, is its resistance to antibiotics. Saccharomyces B. is not deactivated by antibiotic drugs and therefore can be taken at the same time, while bacteria are almost always killed.
