Description
ProBoulardii Plus ProBoulardii Plus is a unique probiotic formula that counters the harmful effects of the bacteria responsible for traveller's diarrhoea (or tourista). Diarrhoea is most often caused by food or water contaminated with the pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli, Salmonella and Shigella . ProBoulardii Plus neutralises bacterial toxins and helps maintain healthy gut flora while travelling, without adverse effects. This combination of specific strains prevents the characteristic symptoms of traveller's diarrhoea such as diarrhoea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and bloating. ProBoulardii Plus provides ten billion active cells of Saccharomyces boulardii , whose main characteristic is to curb the effects of bacterial toxins that contribute to the symptoms of traveller's diarrhoea. Saccharomyces boulardii, a beneficial yeast, thereby creates favourable conditions for the development of the eleven other probiotic strains in ProBoulardii Plus, representing eleven billion CFU (colony-forming units). These probiotic strains, known to restore the balance of gut flora, contribute to fluid retention and allow better absorption of vitamins, nutrients and electrolytes, so valuable in cases of diarrhoea. ProBoulardii Plus can be used both for the prevention and the treatment of traveller's diarrhoea, as well as for antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD). Finally, the gastro-resistant capsules protect their probiotic strain contents from acidic gastric juices and ensure maximum efficacy in the intestine, where the probiotics are delivered.
